Photograph theme ideas

[Mesquite]

It's coming to that time of year again where I have to start scratching my head to think up themes for next years Photograph competition.

I've got a few ideas in mind but this year I thought I'd throw it open to the member to suggest some themes they might like to see.

No prizes if I use them apart from acknowledgement for it if I do

So come on then is there any theme you'd like to see in next year competition?

Apologies if you've done some/all of these:

Subjects such as: 'Bushcraft portrait', 'Smoke', 'Fire', Weather ....
Concepts such as 'out of bounds', 'comfort', 'safe', 'danger', 'at the limit', 'many', 'few', 'large', 'small', 'lonely', 'crowded' ....

I don't know if this has already been done, but if not how about a Black & White month?

Family? Parent/child, grandparent/grandchild, etc. Something that encapsulates the continuity of Bushcraft.

PS Thanks for running this. It gets more important as I get out less to have happy memories evoked.

"Dark and blurry images taken in haste on a old smartphone"

Behind you !!

this would be a two photo set to make one entry......

the first photo is as normal, a stunning view, a piece of architecture, a babbling stream..........but what is behind the photographer ?..... turn around and take another snap of what ever is behind you......car park, shopping centre, public dump, bus stop etc........get the idea ?

the winner would be the two photos with the biggest difference.......for example, the valleys of Myther Tydville ( sorry for the spelling ) taken from the heights of the Asda car park and loading bay.

Biggest puzzle for me was to photograph the wind.
A slow shutter speed never looked good enough.
Next would be reflections of nature in any surface, even a window.

Robbi must have been with me in my old landscape décor B&W days.
4x5 view camera on a rail, dark cloth and all.
Get all set up for a scene and then turn around!
Often something better! How did you know?

 

[Mesquite]

Some interesting ideas there folks, thanks for the input. It's giving me a few ideas

I don't know if this has already been done, but if not how about a Black & White month?

That's one of the themes I was thinking about doing

 

[grumit]

Afloat
Wild edibles
Full moon
Food on the fire
Patterns in nature

 

[Wayne]

I’d like to see some shelters, camp furniture, insects, night sky, wild foods, breaking waves and sea shore. Spirit of adventure.

Fire and ice come to mind along with others already stated
