Hi, I am new at DPChallenge and just entered my first photo into the Symmetry III challenge. I was wondering, how do you guys approach a new challenge? Do you just go out looking for something that matches the challenge description or do think out a concept and plan it beforehand?

I'm here to learn so I appreciate all comments. Thanks!

For me it depends on the challenge. Most of the time I think about what type of pic I want to shoot. Some challenges are easier than others on deciding. However, sometimes I just go out looking....I.E. the 47 step challenge. Didn't have much of a choice on that one....47 steps from my door sortof restrained me to one thing...ya-know.

Take each challenge as a new challenge. Take a look at the results in the previous Symmetry 1&2 challenges. See what scored the best. Let these marvelous interpretations of the theme pique your imagination.

I've only been here since January, but it has changed drastically many times during the year.

Sometimes I would think about what I was good at photographing, and then I'd see how I could fit that into a challenge.

Sometimes I would just wander around, seeing if something popped up.

Many times, I'd view previous challenges to see what worked, what didn't, and what was overdone. If I liked the idea, I'd look to see if there was anyway I could change it or update it so that I wouldn't be duplicating another person's shot.

I'm stuck with symmetry at the moment. I've tried all three methods and nothing is working.
