EDIT:
The photos in this post are not my entry to the challenge if someone thought so, as it seems some did ! These are just street photography in general. There are of course some hints to it, like that there was only 4 photos, but it dawned to me that it wasn’t self-evident. I shall post my entry later like everyone else! (trust me, you shall notice when I don’t have hundreds of tries on my disposal)

I’ve always felt that street photography is my stumbling block. I just can’t seem to get it done good.

For awhile I’ve also felt that so many essential parts of photography come together in street photography. It’s so intriguingly challenging to patiently seek for the right time and place, when and where this seemingly aimless waving mass on the street suddenly and surprisingly form up some scenery that just couldn’t be planned. Someone has put it more accurately and potently before me… ‘Decisive something’ or something?

Anyway, this blabbering is heading somewhere:

Street photography being the Grand Prix of photography and this specific date being this blog’s six-month-anniversary (!!) I shall present the very first challenge seen in this url. Tatu and Jarkko are somewhat obligated to take part, but the best part is that it’s not only us three this time! Anyone is more than welcome to join in the fun!

So, the rules come here:

1. The idea is to go out to the streets and come back with six amazing pieces of street-photographic-art. So, six photos on the streets, not to complicated, is it?

2. Here’s the twist: You only get to press the button six times! The shutter should only open for six times. We cannot provide any authorized supervisors to see that the rules are followed, but we have enough faith in each others and everybody else’s conscience that there won’t be 600 photos taken and then choosing the best.

3. So, only six photos, and you’ll have the post every single of them, no matter what crap comes out! (hint: if the photo isn’t much, try aggressive photoshopping. that’s what I did with the photos of this post)

4. You can post your photos on the Parta&linssit -facebook page, just clearly state who’s photo it is (there’s an Add a fan photo -section, seek it out). You can also post the photos on your own blog if you have one, just comment below so we’ll find them!

5. The challenge closes at wednesday the 17th of november, all photos should be posted by then. This being a challenge and all, we hope as many participants as possible. Out of all entries we shall collectively pick our favorite and he or she shall win a prize! Also, we’d like to present the winner photos here in our blog alongside our own (if our photos will stand the comparison).

Tämä on niin tärkeää, että postaan haasteen säännöt vielä suomeksi! Parta&linssit-blogin puolivuosipäivän kunniaksi asetan tämän blogin ensimmäisen haasteen, teemana katuvalokuvaus. Haasteeseen saa ottaa osaa kuka tahansa, mieluiten ihan kaikki!

Säännöt kuuluvat seuraavasti:

1. Mene ulos kadulle ja ota 6 kuvaa.

2. Homman juju: saat ottaa vain 6 kuvaa, eli painaa nappia vain kuusi kertaa. Muistikortilta tulisi löytyä vain kuusi tiedostoa.

3. postaa kaikki kuusi kuvaa, olivat ne millaisia tahansa, parta&linssit facebook-sivulle fan photos -osioon tai omaan blogiisi tai flickriin! Pääasia on, että tiedämme juuri SINUN osallistuneen ja että tiedämme mitkä ovat juuri SINUN kuviasi, joten merkitse se selkeästi.

4. Haaste päättyy 17. päivä tätä kuuta. Jarkon ja Tatun kanssa valitsemme osallistujien joukosta oman suosikkimme, joka voittaa palkinnon! Voittajan kuvat julkaistaan myös täällä blogissa.

Kysymyksiä voi esittää kommentilootaan, facebookkiin tai ihan vaikka kasvotusten!
