March Photography Challenge

"It's not the camera that takes a great photograph, it is the photographer"



Well, we have the results in of the March 2008 Photography Challenge Poll and the theme for March with 60% of the votes is "Destruction".

The other suggestions will be used in future challenges. Please feel free to put forward any other suggestions for themes that you have. Every couple of months I will carry out a poll!!

Guidelines

Just to recap, the guidelines for the challenge are as follows:

1) Take a photograph that in some way, manner or form represents “Destruction”. The post title will simply be “Photograph Challenge March 2008 – Destruction”. Please be welcome to include as many photographs as you like in your post - however, please nominate one as your challenge entry.

2) Include a brief explanation of how the photograph relates to the subject. The photograph doesn't need to be outside, it can be of somebody or of something around the home.... it just needs to represent the theme of the month.

3) When you have posted your challenge, be sure to send me a link so that I can include it on my "March Challenge Entry" post at the end of the month!

!!Happy Photography!!

  3. yay! Great timing, i was hoping that maybe the theme would come this weekend since i took a couple of days off work and I can be thinking, if not snapping, some ideas. Since i have the month of march tho i may wait - we may be getting some spring weather soon..which i hate to say, brings pretty violent storms. Of course i have to think much broader than that. Which is why I like a theme, as it presents different perspective according to the photographers interpretation

  4. So true Muse. I am so amazed at the responses so far to each of the challenges. Each person has taken a slightly different interpretation and perspective of the theme. It is just wonderful how individual we all are. I look forward to seeing each and every one.

    Happy Snapping!!!!
