I would like to see challenges which to do not require the same skills in the same week. ...to have options that vary not only in subject matter but photographic skills and interests so we can choose the one that fits us best.
Still to come, perhaps, would be Nature, the trio might consist of Birds, Animals, Sealife.
(I'm still joking. If you're reading this Langdon, close your eyes)
Seriously though, even if Landscape XVIII happened, have we each really taken the definitive landscape picture of our career? I know I haven't.
I don't really think the subject matter of any given challenge is boring, unless we make it so.
My take on this (for what it's worth) is that most of us actually try to get a good shot for the challenge. If we aren't successful, we don't want another week of "do overs" and would like time to lick our wounds, lol! My creativity at this point in my life is limited and when I have to keep trying to reinvent something amazing with the same topic numerous times...I shut down. :P Maybe I should start drinking more wine and then figuring out my shots, lol!
Can't we have a few weeks of completely unrelated, in any way, topics to shoot? I Double dog dare Langdon to pick three unrelated from the Double Dog Dare thread, muahahaha!
I would like to see challenges which to do not require the same skills in the same week. For example, right now with the Recipe (food) and Recipe (beverage) challenges, the same skills would be applied to both challenges. It would be much nicer to have options that vary not only in subject matter but photographic skills and interests so we can choose the one that fits us best.
Thats kind of what I was meaning actually. I totally bomb at landscapes and still life. There are no options for a person of my (and a lot of other people's) photography skill set right now. And with bad timing I missed the "anything but landscape" challenge, my one shot to enter something recently.
Plus it just gets boring! Not just for entering but for voting too.
