Next Round EOTB-155 Open for Entries

May 3rd, 2024
Eye Of The Beholder - next round EOTB-155 is open for entries, backdated to when the last round ended, which was April 27th.

Thank you to Junan and everyone for EOTB 154. I’m very chuffed that my toothpick capture was appreciated.

Learning to allow oneself to photograph odd or unconventional entities and items gives the mind a break from always hunting and looking for majestic scenes and subjects.

Oddball, off-the-wall things are just pure fun to capture!

Looking at photography in this light gave me a lot of my mojo back, which has been extremely irregular these past few months. Look for a great photo opportunity, endeavour to capture the scene in front of me ever so perfectly; then upload it to whatever device, still edit it, etc etc etc - I just couldn’t seem to get motivated enough to even think about all of it. I turned to my book instead for weeks on end.

The simplicity of EOTB and the Mundane challenges re-ignited my enthusiasm a great deal.

Anyway, enough chit-chat.

Let’s start EOTB-155. This challenge is about using your photographer's eye to find interest and an allure in stuff you wouldn't normally think of capturing. The challenge is to portray your subject in a way that comes across as aesthetically pleasing even though initially the item/s may not appear that way.

The main aim of this challenge is that people watching you take your photograph should ponder on why anyone would want to take a photograph of THAT. (the ‘that’ being your subject matter.)

A bit of post-processing is fine, but please go lightly with the edits - there are other challenges for processing - and it's your subject that needs to shine through.

There are only two rules which apply to this challenge:
1- the photo must be taken within the appointed time frame.
2- the photo must be taken by you.

Timeframe:
Start - April 27th 2024
End - May 31st 2024

Tag: EOTB-155

You may enter as many captures as you wish, but only one of your entries will be eligible for the shortlist.

‘til later,
