Taking bridge photos from under or belly down is really nice and predictable. It is the challenge to take photo of a bridge from top, maybe a view from car level, and make it look as nice as predictable ones :)

This way, instead of putting roman numerals to repeater challenges, we enhance the ideas :)

i don't think its enhancing, its limiting.

a lot of time its interesting to see how one approaches a very broad subject.

i can see why you'd want to set limits but you can't remove the ability to photograph a subject's most interesting feature.

Yeah, really... aren't we limiting the creative juices we so eagerly seek if we set restrictions?

Oh no sir, you're wrong.

Enhanced ideas for known challenges forces our perspective skills... and more we think about new perspective, without noticing, we actually become better photographers :P

trust me on that ;)

that's different, macro is a topic with multiple subject possibilities. Bridges is a broad topic but is also limited to it being the subject.

you will get too many of the same picture, and i think thats what you are trying to avoid.

I am not even sure if anyone consider it anyway, but idea is out. You just never know. I find it challenging :)
