How about portraits with available light, any color format, with subject being a small child that will stay in place no longer than 30 seconds?

Some people have portraits done of their pets--I just wanted to narrow the field.

So, you hook up a webcam, send me the URL, and I'll photograph my monitor -- should provide a suitable "grainy" photo...no, that was last week...maybe it would qualify as a "new" technique.

I'm surprised that portraits hasn't been a challenge already (not that it isn't one that could be done over and over again). Surprised and glad. It's one that we'll inevitably have to get to and I'm glad I didn't miss it. I'm a horrible portrait photographer (although actively working to correct that), but I LOVE to see portraits that really capture a person's spirit. Would take HOURS to vote, but I'd love every minute.
