| February | Abstract | Abstract images aren't pictures of objects; they're pictures of patterns, textures and the like. They're generally produced by moving in close to an everyday object to include only a small part of it in the photo, by zeroing in on a small part of a distant subject with a long lens, by deliberately throwing the subject out of focus, or by shooting a subject's reflection rather than (or along with) the subject itself. | View Winners |
| March | Doors & Windows | definitions: Door --> A movable structure used to close off an entrance, or the entrance (the space in a wall) through which you enter or leave. Window --> An opening constructed in a wall that functions to admit light or air to an enclosure often framed and spanned with glass mounted to permit opening and closing. *Be literal, or be creative; just be sure your subject is some type of door or window! |
