Or something that instills fear. I'm thinking that the viewer will experience the emotion of fear - how do to that--got me.

I feel creativety is something you put a lot of thought into and is original or one of a kind.

| I think a nice interpetation of this challenge would be what every mother of a son or daughter in the armed services fears the most, especially in our current national situation, the dreaded person in uniform coming up the walk. |

Frankly, I think 120 photos of frightened people would be tedious. I feel there's more creative latitude in trying to evoke fear in the viewer or in representing fear (ala knife shadow on the shower curtain Hitchcock-style). Doesn't mean I have a clue how to do it, though! |

I am not going to submit to this challenge, and I am not even sure I want to judge it.

I'm not submitting to the "Fear" challenge either. I need a break.

I don't think it matters.
Go with a scared person and half your comments are "It didn't scare me".
Go with something scary, you'll hear... "Where's the scared person?"
I decided before my first post to this site never to care about scores or placing. I post here to see the critiques and get better.
My advice : shoot what fear means to you.

Since I'm not going to have time to shoot this week, I'll just go with the verbal description of what I would have gone for.
I don't have a fisheye, so I was planning to use a wide angle adapter lens to create a little distortion. In the foreground, focused, is a report card full of Ds and Fs. A 2nd grade aged child is holding it behind his back (the child is a little out of focus). The child and report card fill up most of the screen, but in the background, there's an adult holding out his/her hand. In my mind, you don't see any heads, just upper bodies -- but I'm not sure if that would have worked.
Like I said in an earlier post, probably more humorous for the viewer than it is scary, but I think it's a great example of fear. :-) |

I had a similar idea with the child holding something behind his back. Guess that ones out the window now ;-)

Sorry :-/
On the upside, maybe I made sure that was a cliche shot that you didn't accidentally fall into....

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering which way to go with photos for this challenge. If I keep thinking that it should be someone's reaction of fear, I won't be submitting anything. If I decide to go with something that I think is scary, then I might post. But, it's the holiday and my parents are in town visiting, so I may not have time anyway. Yeah, that's a good excuse for not coming up with anything creative. ;-)

Actually, I now have two ideas ( already shot one). They are both more humorous than scary, and will not be high quality photos. I just need to decide if I want to try a novelty photo, and take the punishment.

heh heh heh! That's pretty funny! :-D
But, I thought of something that could be scary to some women.... turning into their mothers as they grow older - or maybe that's scary to the women's husbands! ;-) Not sure how to shoot that one, though. :) Maybe something with mirrors and seeing your mother's face instead of your own... hmmm.... |

Oh well, what with the Lycosidae carring the kids on their backs at this time of year, I'm not going to miss my chance to post my first submission ever. So you are just going to have to do your voting from behind the sofa.
Anyway, it wouldnt be fear if it didnt terrify someone. |

It's bad enough just to see the gray hairs shining through.

I don't happen to have a pet tarantula, but I have a nice shot of a Nursery Web spider that my dad caught IN HIS HOUSE! It was big and scary.
