B&H Contest theme nominations

How about "Electricity."

kiswiss · 06-29-2010, 03:21 PM

I support "weather"

lisa.ireland · 06-29-2010, 03:21 PM

"Seeing the Light". Free for the photographer to interpret as he or she wishes.

alan_smithee_photos · 06-29-2010, 03:23 PM

I'd second (or third or whatever) a more abstract theme. Home, life, etc. are good. Other suggestions:

The world at night
Time stands still
Natural light
Nostalgia

Peter Zack · 06-29-2010, 03:24 PM

Something we can all do and might challenge us to look differently at things:

Natural Patterns

Photocomposer

Quote:

"American Spirit".

, I know you just joined the forum but this is an international group. So a theme like that is distinctly limited.

I am not much for themes which tell you what subject to shoot. That's boring and might not give all people a chance to express themselves and their personal take on photography. Instead, I prefer a concept. But not something so general that every single photo would fit.

So, how about...

Overlooked

It seems so appropriate seeing as how Pentax as a brand is often overlooked. :-)

MetaD · 06-29-2010, 03:29 PM

I liked two suggestions:
- Playing with Light
- Outdoor Markets (or Fairs?)

Nols · 06-29-2010, 03:29 PM

I used this as a title for one my recent pics - "The Battle For Definition." Can include a broad number of subjects really - light & dark, nature, conflict, emotions, etc.

What do you think?

daop · 06-29-2010, 03:30 PM

I would suggest 'ambiance'.

s.randy · 06-29-2010, 03:36 PM

Sports

valderw · 06-29-2010, 03:37 PM

I'd suggest "weather"

brecklundin · 06-29-2010, 03:40 PM

really liking the more recent suggestions....

Natural Patterns (or Patterns in general because there can be patterns in man made stuff, in fact even "random noise" is a "pattern" of sorts)
Overlooked
Playing with Light (interesting because to me using light is what it's all about)
Battle for Definition (now that is open, very interesting!!)
Ambiance
Time (really general and I can see plenty of room for variations on the theme)

Nice stuff, and glad the suggestions are at least including these sort of ideas so we can then have a chance to vote for them when Adam creates the poll to select the contest theme.

Mr. Ben · 06-29-2010, 03:40 PM

I liked one person's suggestion of "Support"
I would also suggest "mistakes" since I think that could have some very entertaining results.

lebritches · 06-29-2010, 03:40 PM

I agree with the 'overlooked' concept, you can hit anything with that concept
