| There are so many studio entries week after week that I think it could be a very refreshing challenge if for just one week the challenge was no studio images. |

Hmmm
Windows and Doors
Road Signs Revisited
Landscape
Without the Hand of Man
Photojournalism
were all non-studio challenges.
Is there a topic you could suggest that would be a good non-studio challenge? I agree we could use more, but there have been many.
Or should the topic be just that "no studio"?

Some only have studio options this time of year. I went out the other day in -35 windchill to take images and my camera wouldn't work correctly. I doubt I would be able to compete some weeks if I didn't have my bathroom..... ummm.... I mean my studio...

I think it should be "No Studio Images" as the challenge. Just look back at the "Road Signs Revisted" there were even studio images in that challenge.
As for the weather I am very well aware of the weather conditions, I live in Pennsylvania where right now it is snowing again....but there are lots of things that aren't studio images that can be done indoors. A high school sporting event like basketball for an example. Even with the cold temps outdoors I have managed to get some very nice shots recently of the landscaping around me. I don't let the cold control what I can do I simply improvize and instead of sitting all day waiting for the right photo to appear I take what I can get in a 15 to 30 minute time frame.

They get boring after a while. Whats wrong with going out of the studio and creating a photo from the world around you? |

How about a studio shots only challenge?
Most of the challenges at the moment give the photographer a choice weather they want to do studio or non-studio.

Studio shots only are good for those who have a studio but there are some who don't. Everyone though is capable of doing non studio images.
Look at some of the cameras being used in the challenges there are a lot of cameras not capable of studio work but I don't know of any digital that isn't capable of leaving the studio. |

A lot of my photos are "studio shots" but I don't have a studio.

I think you'd be surprised to see the 'studio's that a lot of people are using for their pictures. Most studios are in bathrooms, with cheap work lights or some flash equipment.
Most people enter a mix of pictures depending on what they feel works - I don't quite see the point of this.

All of my 'studio' shots are done on tabletop and in my livingroom with no special equipment at all...

I like the idea of "No Studio Shots" challenge but how about waiting until April or May ?

My studio is my livingroom. It has has excellent lighting and lots of room. I would like to know who has a professional studio. I can't think of one person that does.

| I like the idea of a non-studio shot. But I also like the idea of a studio only shot. I'm game for either because I need to improve on both. |

Who cares? What does it matter? As for shooting outdoors I have gotten some good stuff also OneSweet... Even though the camera didn't want to do it... LOL... Pro90, Hoya 72, switched Red and Blue channels...
and then that night I got this in my bathroom... D-30, 70-200, Kenko tube. 1/45th second, f22. Motion trail and ascending globes all natural. Drops caught at Apex. Never capture one like this again...
It's all good. Let people shoot the way they want.
I could look at studio shots all day, I could do the same with outdoor shots also...

I enjoy viewing and producing studion images. They are challenging and creative. Many of my images are studio shots. My studio consists of a sewing table on my enclosed porch. Behind that I have an inexpensive Baker's rack with a few metal shelves on it. I push the table right up against the shelves. I clamp a few lights, that I purchased at Walmart and yard sales, on the shelves, and point them in any direction I need. For different backgrounds I use clamps from the dollar store to attach curtains, fabric, paper, whatever. Often I drape them right across the table, flowing from the shelves. It's all very simple.

| I'm not saying there is anything wrong with studio shots, as a matter of fact I am thinking a studio shot for the yellow challenge. I'm just saying it would be a challenge to do strictly a non studio challenge, and I am not against an all studio challenge either I just know some cameras just don't work for studio photos. But then what am I saying my first camera was an Argus DC1500 that did better studio images than my DiMage. |

HERE is a picture of the simple setup I have. I am going to move my whole operation into another room though, where I'll have more control over the lighting. As it is now, there are too many windows to control the light coming in.
I just bought a huge piece of foam insulation from Lowe's that I'll use as a backdrop. I can tack fabrics, etc to it easily.
I'd love to see some other "studios"
I've been wanting to get some ideas online for doing a studio setup in my little office.

Could you elaborate on this idea at all? I'm not sure what you mean, and have a hard time imagining a case where this could be true as stated.

Who needs a studio? All i use is my kitchen counter and a desk lamp and sometimes a flashlight :)

| I like the idea of a no studio image challenge, everytime I try to do studio images I end up with a nasty glare from my camera cause I can't turn off the flash. |

| I think I understand what is being said about some cameras not being able to take studio shots. All cameras can take a photo in the studio (or dining room) but the inability to use manual controls will not give the photographer the best results. I never got a decent studio shot with my camera until I started using the manual controls. I would be willing to have a non-studio challenge - anything to get me back to nature! |

My studio
This is my little studio! Didn't cost a lot, but does well for me!
I think that some people excel at one type of photography over the other. I prefer studio shots, but keep working at outdoor stuff so I can improve. No need, in my opinion, to limit one way or another.

Ok the intresting thing here is that my shot in the Windows and Doors Challenge was set up in my studio. It was the Floating Door shot. I thought that it would give the imagination a twist, but it did not do as well as it seemed. Anything can be set up in a studio. I can do some really nice landscape scenes that you would not be able to tell were set up in a studio. I think if someone can present a studio shot of something that is in shoe box and make it look real that is an art. Had I made my set our of wood instead of a Cardboard box and painted it correctly you would not have been able to tell. Basically if you are decieved into thinking that the shot is real and not a fake set up, the photographer/artist did a wonderful job and should be noted as such.

Here's my elaborate studio :P just a corner in my room, with a few bucks worth of cloth. I'd prefer studio shots these days, as outside is cold as hell (well, hell isn't very cold now is it?) in any case, i froze my fingers to the bone getting the landscape shot... i dont mind staying inside for a few more months hehe...
