Assignment: "Chair" June 10 - June 24

[Saralonde]

This week's assignment has to do with showing some creativity shooting a familiar object. A chair of one type or another should be available to everyone and can be found in all types of environments. It can mean relaxation or work, be cozy or uncomfortable, ornate or plain.



As always, the rules...Please note the change in closing time.

Just a note to new posters: DO NOT start a new thread for your post. Please just hit the reply button at the bottom of any current post and put your image there.

1. Your original image you submit should be taken between the 10th of June and the 24th of June. Each week as an assignment closes on the Wednesday, it will be AUTOMATICALLY deemed *CLOSED* after 8am GMT ( 3am EST) and any posts after that time will not be eligible for the assignment competition. Don't wait until the last minute to post!

2. Your post must include "Assignment: Chair" (to show your permission to count it for the contest) and the date the picture was taken (to show that it is a valid entry).

3. EXIF data should be intact. It helps if you can include the main points (including camera, lens, date taken, ISO, shutter speed and aperture) in the text of your message.

4. Only one entry per member (if you can't restrain yourself until the end of the first week you can post two or three separate pictures but your entry should be in a separate post and the only marked with the text above). It must be an original image taken by you.

5. Remember the cross-site image size limit (800px on the longest side).

6. If the image does not exist in post at the end of the contest, it is disqualified. If you modify anything on flickr and re-save the image then the link is broken and the message needs edited to link the picture again before it will be included in the contest.
For everyone, please do not repeat other people's photos by quoting them until the contest is over. If you want to comment on or discuss an entry you can use a link to it (or just delete the picture from the quoted text).

7. If you are looking for the winners of the mini-contest, please check the front page of the DPS blog Saturday late afternoon (EST) and here.

Next week out challenge will be "f/16". This may be somewhat dslr specific, so those without that capability have a different challenge, "RYB".

F/16: Set your camera's aperture to f/16 and compose your shot. Remember your depth of field will be far greater and it will make a difference in how your subject relates to the rest of your image.

RYB: Red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors on which all other colors are based. Pick one and make it the primary focus of your image. Only do this challenge if your camera is not capable of doing f/16.
