i like the idea, maybe not a competition, but like a discussion and workshop.

we might not get enough people for a true comp.

i have to admit i dont use all the functions of my PS enough and would love to learn more.

yeah not actually a compitition, nothing to winner, infact every1 would be a winner by learning something new

Cool idea mate and I'd be happy to help out

But what I would really love to see shooting assignments/workshops/discussions.

Something like maybe one week go out and ask a complete stranger for their portrait! Or one could be shooting a portrait with 3 light sources (any sources!)

That would be something

This. I'm not sure about a competition, we're all pretty friendly and I'm sure it can be for fun and personal gain of course

yeah also like that idea

i know i need to learn more so i am up for it all

I wish I wasnt too shy to do that

This sounds like fun though, always nice to learn something new.

You'd be amazed how your confidence is boosted just from approaching a complete stranger. It's incredible

People here would probably look at me like I was nuts, lol. Do you just take their picture right where they stand or what?

Well, you need to catch someone that is interesting or someone that is in interesting light. You just have to see something in that situation. I guess it's hard to explain. If you just take a random picture of someone without a reason you will be let down.

but the whole point of that kind of project is to bring you or me out of our comfort zones and see if we like it

for me, if i talk to someone on the street, it changes the picture completely. its kinda scientific in the way i approach something of interest; i try and have as little of an effect/presence as i can because i feel that just by taking the picture, i change the subject a bit.

thats just my weirdo/quantum philosophy, which is lmao seeing it in type
