Yes it has come again. For all of those not able to qualify for the LPS Semi #2 we will have an unoffical non LPS challenge so we can have something to work on during the same time frame..


This is also a great time to venture over into technique and try your hand at Nikolai's Weekly Assignments.


Post up you unofficial challenge ideas (single or contrasting)..

Some possibles to start if off..

Abandoned or Occupied
Rough or Smooth
Accessory

    Cool idea ( I actually just found Nikolai's weekly assignments as well which looks like something I must try out too!). Anyways, here's a couple themes I'll throw out there :

    Young or Old
    Light or Dark
    High or Low
    Bold or Subdued
    Heaven or Earth...

    themes?
    i'm not sure i understood - is there a theme for the "unofficial semifinal"? shouldnt it be free, like the "official" one?
    neat idea, btw :)
    The best thing about a photo is the journey that brought you to it.

    This is something we came up with during the last semifinal and thought a theme would work best as to not confuse people even more.

    The 1st official unofficial losers challenge had the theme blue because that is how we all felt for not making it. :D

    Based on a dictionary look up this seems a little narrow- this could probably be incorporated in a theme of abandoned which could be both emotional or physical representation.

    Is this open to anyone or just those who have participated in the past but didn't make the Semifinal?

    Probably a dumb question, I know. rolleyes1.gif

    I have ideas but no time for execution... the "unofficial" nature of this is not helping my time management. rolleyes1.gif
