Serious honor system at work on this one. This sounds so fun that I might have to renew my membership and start shooting for challenges again.
Most of my shots look like I had my eyes closed anyway. :)

Can we really only take 100 shots? Because I feel like I would need to take a million, lol.
Also, this benefits the studio/set-up photographer, since they can do all of their setting up ahead of time, and then close their eyes and take the picture. You won't find many in-focus hummingbirds with your eyes closed :-P

I have a feeling this is simply going to be a free study disguised as something else. I'd like to be proven wrong, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Isn't the spirit of this challenge to NOT set stuff up beforehand? It seems a little ridiculous to enter if you're going to go to the trouble to set up tripods, focus, lighting, all the rest then just close your eyes when you press the trigger.

This really should be fun. I hope that people will enter into the spirit of it and enjoy the adventure without 'manipulating' their prospects.

I am not a fan of minimal editing but this should have been the challenge to have it in, or at least have a special rule for no cropping.

I'm going to do minimal editing... only fair way to do this challenge. AND... I will close my eyes.
I have a feeling, there will be quite a few dishonest entries this challenge. pathetic for the ones who stoop to that level.
