Photo Contests

One of my goals for this year is to win an on-line photography contest. There are a couple sites I’ve been following: dpchallenge, Fred Miranda, Worth 1000. The contests are intimidating. All of the photos are very, very good. The challenge topics are vague. I see the challenge and don’t know what to do. I found this forum post titled Win a Ribbon! First, it starts with the assumption that you know how to take a technically good photo. The real problem is what to photograph. This post is a good description of what separates an average photo from a prize winning photo. For me, a life-long engineer, it’s hard to think right-brained. That’s a lot of what this photography hobby is about: stretching my artistic and creative side. So, stuff like this post is good for me.
