Weekly Challenge # 493 - Candid Portraits
Posted By: noelcmn, 04-13-2020, 01:41 AM

Good morning, Sakura is unable to host the next Weekly Challenge and has requested that I stand in on this occasion. Thanks to RGlasel for hosting and judging Challenge #492.

The Challenge this week is Candid Portraits, which I hope will attract submissions. Different from Studio and posed portraits, candids usually add dimensions of emotions and expressions that make portraits much more interesting. Considering many of us are in Isolation/lockdown, opportunities for candid photography should present itself easily enough, unless of course you are alone.

This challenge will close on Sunday 19th @ Midnight in your Time Zone. Judging will DV happen on the morning of Monday 20th..

The fine print:
Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.

Rules
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax/Ricoh (DSLR) camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge

Some examples from my archives













I Look forward to your submissions and good luck.

He did more social distancing from his parents in 2007 then he does now with the public.

My wife's sister's boyfriend's granddaughter when she was about 4 years old, taken more than five years ago. Bounce flash in the open area of a house, the model noticed me trying to take discreet candids at a family dinner and she decided it was time to practice her modelling skills.
