The 2009 competition assignments are now "official."
Starting with the January 20 competition meeting, the challenge is to capture "night."
Your challenge is to use the darkness as a background, i.e., fireworks. However, if it's a night setting but the darkness is not obvious the Competition Chairman may require the photographer prove it's night time. For example: if you chose to shoot a person sleeping on a park bench and the photo does not show some sort of sign of outside darkness. Or - if a time-keeping device is the subject, it must show it's 12:00 A.M. and not noon. A good example of night would be star gazing or a neon light in a store window.
Here are a couple websites that might aid you in taking those fantastic night shots:
February's challenge will be "Home Sweet Home." More on that subject later.
Happy shooting!!
