Maybe we need a separate challenge for dog pee? |

I'd prefer to use an ND filter and a several second exposure for the flowing-waterfall effect.

I proposed an even more wicked version of this a couple years ago, I think I called it "Roulette" but I can't find it. My idea was that the challenge title and description would only be posted when voting started, after all the entries were in, so it would be a complete crapshoot whether you met the challenge or not. In theory, the most generic "good" image ought to have the best chance, but would always get beaten by a luck-of-the-draw "good" image that happened to nail the unknown topic...

I like your idea a lot, but I'm still partial to mine, as instead of just rolling the dice, you'd be out trying to shoot as diverse a set of subjects/themes as possible while using a variety of techniques. Instead of just taking your best shot and hoping it fits the challenge, you'd have to stretch your creativity in all directions. And then comes the editing part after the actual theme is announced. I think it's got a lot of potential. Certainly advanced editing. |

Falling - set a long exposure and drop your camera, preferably from really high up.
