In our workshops, we talk about the importance of light and perspective in photography.  A new year brings change, growth, a charge of excitement and sometimes a creative block.  We want to help you get past this block, or just challenge you to think differently. 

We want you to see light and subject in a new way.  To inspire you to shoot for yourself, to watch shadows and sun-flare as they interact with the objects around you.  We want you to slowdown and really think about every shot that you take.  Value each capture.  The only limit to this challenge is your imagination. 

Rules:

- You have to use an object in you image. {pear, shopping cart, rock, etc.} No animals or people.

- Your image must have interesting available (natural) light, used in a creative way.

- Change your perspective, shoot from interesting angles.  Try shooting with negative space, think outside the "box".

- You can submit a maximum of 2 photos. They can be completly unique from one another.

Please send images to info@redleafstudios.ca {please size your image to 854pixels on the longest side}.  no logos on your images please.

This contest will run until February 6th, 2010.  At which time Richard & I will select the top 10 images.  We will then display these pictures for you to vote for your favorite.

THE PRIZE:  Our friends at GTA Imaging have generously donated a $400.00 {Canadian Funds} print credit to the winner!
