~WEEKEND ASSIGNMENT~The Game-Week 168-

The concept? ... Jack-O-Lantern

Help us know our caved pumpkin friend Jack.
Has he been seen in your neighbor hood? Where did he come from?
Where is he now? Is he dangerous?

Time to get shooting everybody! Use your imagination.
Whatever springs to mind....

Weekend Assignment is over 3 years old. Originally started by Mark Grant & Hayley Lek, carried on by Night Beat,  Visually Odd Photo, & Sungoddess Studios.
As well as the regulars that submit photos.

The idea behind "Weekend Assignment" is to force everyone....
.....To go out and shoot something you might not normally shoot
.....To look at things differently.
.....To expand your mind's eye.
.....To sharpen your skills.
.....To have fun.

OPEN TO ANYONE WITH A CAMERA!!! Yes.. That means ANYONE!!! (including Models, MUAs, Designers, etc.).  SUBJECT TO BE ANNOUNCED BY 11:00 PM Pacific ON THURSDAY.  POSTING TO BE COMPLETED BY 11:00 PM Pacific ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY.  That gives you 4 days to shoot and edit, and 3 days for us to discuss the work from the previous assignment.

But, before you play, a couple of things......

(Try to resize your photos to less than 900 pxl. across sRGB.
They fit better and look better too.)Thanks, Philip

The Rules?
1) 1 photo entry per person, per assignment. The idea is to create a new photo for the assignment. Weekend Assignment is based on the honor system, so please don't use an old image to post as this week's submission. If you want to use past shots to match a theme, Blue Ash Film Group does a great job with the "Concept Shot of the Day" game, which we highly recommend. Also Digital Art of the Day, and Dark Image of the Day.

2) POST PROCESSING - Please keep it minimal. We want to keep the focus on photography and not post processing and/or illustration techniques. If post processing is excessive beyond the norm. Please state what you did and how you did it.

3) Again, this is OPEN TO EVERYONE WHO HAS A CAMERA.  Depending on the assignment, it will be up to you if a model is wanted or needed for your image. Some of our assignments may ask you to grab a candid photo of a person. This will be an option for each individual because we understand that you may not have the opportunity to capture the shot or may not be comfortable shooting strangers in public.

4) If you're open to sharing the technical details (camera/lens/settings) you are welcome to do so, but it is not required. Also, feel free to tell any story of how/where you were able to get the shot and history that might go along with it.

5) PLEASE STATE WITH YOUR PHOTO IF YOU WOULD LIKE DISCUSSION FROM OTHERS.
Unsolicited critique is not allowed.
Do not ask for, nor offer critiques. We can DISCUSS but CAN'T CRITIQUE.
The Mods are threatening to move us to the critique forum where it would be open to anyone for critique. Only those PARTICIPATING in the WEEKEND ASSIGNMENT are invited to DISCUSS the images.

6) Not really digging the theme? Got your own suggestions for topics?  Then please send them to me via PM!

7) Have fun!

Enjoy the Assignment and let's get shooting!!!

Thank You,
Philip,  Sungoddess Studios

See Ya Monday, I'm outta here.

Holy C&@p Did I find Jack. The weather was bad and I had to drive home today.

Discussion Welcome

Jack
From his mugshot, He doesn't look all that bad.


Many times he is just a cute and Loveable kinda' guy.




Others think he is just a little scary, friendly kinda guy.


but, don't let that fool you he can be dangerous and very evil.



Others believe he is dead and don't bother to search for this dangerous criminal any longer.
