Welcome to the 24th serious compacts salon challenge..... your theme is Impressions!
This is your chance, using your camera, to become an Impressionist painter. Impressionist paintings don't show much detail, but convey what you might see if just catching a glimpse of the subject. This type "impression" can also be conveyed with your camera through movement. Impressionism is usually associated with vibrant color, however, many examples of monochromatic works can be found. Landscapes are a common subject, as well, but here again, almost any imaginable subject has, at one time or another, been done in impressionist style.
Utilizing camera movement is how I captured the image I submitted in the previous challenge and I thought it would make for a fun 24th challenge. I look forward to seeing your creative "impressionist" submissions.
The salon starts today Jan 20th and shall run for a little less than 2 weeks, ending on Saturday Feb 1st.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules are simple................
1. Either take a picture that matches the nominated theme or select one from your portfolio. You must be the photographer that created the picture in order to enter it.
2. There are several ways to add your photos to the current salon thread: 1. upload your entry to your SC user gallery (all entries must be present in an SC gallery), which you automatically get if you are registered on the SC forum, so if you aren`t registered you will need to if you would like to join the fun. (Don't know about the "gallery" yet? Then read this: SC Gallery FAQ please read it carefully if you are new to using the site's software.) 2. embed from Flickr or another similar web hosting photo site and 3. use the attachment method. All three are explained here:How to post images in forum threads
3. Only one entry per salon, please. If you want to withdraw an entry and replace it with another, that is OK, but you must make it clear in the post containing your replacement picture that this is what you've done. You can add or change the title and add to the edit line to let everyone know.
4. The decision of the curator at the end of the challenge is final - don't give him/her a hard time about it: this is just a friendly photo challenge, after all!
5. The person who submitted the chosen picture will assume the responsibility of curator for the next Salon Challenge and as soon as possible post a message in a new thread in the SC Photo Challenges forum, with details of the new theme. Don't forget - that opening message must include a copy of these instructions, which also double as the rules.
6. The curator can't enter his or her own salon. (like Hell)
7. Please, don´t be shy...Participate and have fun!
8. Each salon should be open for about two weeks.
Good Luck to All
