For entering photos that are intended to be experimental, whether pushing your own personal boundaries or the boundaries of photography in general? The hope would be that voters would approach this challenge with an open mind and reward creativity and oobie approaches to our craft.
As I envision it, the Workshop challenge would be an alternative to the regular Free Study challenge, and would be intended to accommodate things like blur, abstracts, weird HDR and funky photoshop filters and other techniques that traditionally get panned by the voters, as well as a place to enter experimental works with macros, studio lighting, or whatever else you've been challenging yourself with that month.
Members could enter either the WS or the FS each month, but not both -- which would keep the challenge manageable and perhaps reduce the size of the monthly FS challenge, making that one more manageable to vote on as well. (Alternatively, this challenge could run on the 15th of every month, with members free to enter both). |
