Rufus as put forward a suggestion for the next assignment:
Rufus Wrote:You know how the standard assignment or competition is themed?
Well, I wondered if, as an assignment we might turn this on it's head. The idea is to assign an object and ask for interpretations.
For example:
Object; an egg.
How many ways could a simple egg be shown? 100, 1000?
How about a car, a gate, a tree?
Interesting, I thought, so I picked "trees". Actually, I'm so excited about this concept, I'm going to start two concurrently. The 2nd one will be "cups". Let's see what we can do with these topics!
Upload your photos to the gallery here, and here but also post a small copy in this thread so we can all comment on them. 
What a stunningly brilliant idea!!!

Is the point of this assignment to go out and take new photos? Or can we submit photos we took ages ago?
I'm quite happy either way, just that the first option gets us off our butts and forces us to practice, while the second way would probably result in the best images to "inspire" us and show us what elements really make a good tree photo.
So which is it to be? or doesn't it matter?
Cheers

Why is it you call me Rufus? Surely you cant believe that I'm also a genius, dashing, talented and extremely handsome terrier? :/
No! :o
There can only be one.

Ideally it's a NEW image. In fact, if ST agrees, it MUST be a NEW image.
So there.

Preferably new, or at least recent, as these assignments, like you say, are meant to inspire people to go out and take photos and hopefully look at things in a different light or maybe operate in a way that they're not used to.
But, it's not a competition, so if you do post an oldish one, I'm not going to throw things at you...

Had a bit of a storm and the root system was a bit eaten from termites and it also has some dry rot, had a bit of a bad hair day really.
The second one was just a bit lucky, was sitting in the lounge, happened to look out through the front window and noticed that the sky colour was amazing, grabbed the camera and snapped this.

Cups are such familiar, everyday objects. We see them countless times in a day, at home, at work and even in cafes and restaurants. These precious little objects give us liquid nourishment on which we are dependent on, and probably have been around since the dawn of time.
True, very true... Although I never saw one of those at work...
