Where do you get your ideas for your challenge entries? Sometimes I get what I think are really good ideas, well executed, and then they bomb... ie my current "Battle" entry.
So, I'm sitting here trying to think of ideas for the Entrance/Exit challenge & drawing a blank. Since I have three small children just getting out and exploring for inspiration isn't very feasable... just wondering where YOU go for ideas. |

| How about asking one of the three children what they think about entrances and exits? |

| I do a concept brainstorming in my note book, taking notes about everything that cames to my mind related with the challenge. In the next days I just look at what I registed and let my imagination make crasy relations with that notes. It's easy ;) |

| Great answer - Kids do not censor themselves and they are exceedingly honest, naïve and to the point. |

shoot for yourself not for the challenges. If something comes up that is appropriate for a challenge, shoot it. If nothing comes up you may not have a challenge entry, but you will have plenty of great photographs. Either that or just go out to shoot for a challenge with little inspiration and enter a non inspiring photograph.

Look at corbis.com or istock.com and search on terms like Entrance and Exit..... whenever I'm stuck for ideas, that's where I usually head first.

I put up posters in the neighborhood, ask if anyone's seen it, leave some cookies outside the front door in case it decides to come back. Sometimes it never does and I have to find a new one. ;-)
Some excellent suggestions so far. All I know is you can't force it. If the idea comes to you when you are not thinking about the challenge, there's a good chance it's a good one and half the battle is over. The second half is actually executing the idea. Many times I got so caught up in the concept, I forgot that good photography was part of what people score you on (nitpickers!). :) |
