[SI] New Mandate: Close Up, Due April 5th, 2009
bowser
Group has chosen Close Up as this month's photographic mandate. However,
this mandate has been Bowzerized, as usual. Here's the idea: grab a lens,
any lens, and shoot something at that lens' closet possible focus point; OR
submit a killer macro/micro shot using some dedicated macro/micro lens. This
gives those of you who do not own a macro lens a chance to submit, and those
of you who have spent for that MP-E to show us what you can do with it.
There were other mandates considered, but rejected by the Board:
Man Date: great idea, but it gave Brett a huge advantage. No fair for the
rest of us.
Self-Portrait: maybe next month, but it's been done as Rogue's Gallery, and
besides that, nobody deserves to be subjected to my face. Nobody.
It's all here:
This mandate, Close Up, is due April 5th, 2009. Please submit your photos by
6PM, Eastern Daylight Time.
Fire!

No, but the alternatives are much, much worse...

how bad can the back of your head be ??
bowser
Well, it is a lot better than the front, no question. But that wouldn't
work, would it?
OK, how about "self-portrait" for the next mandate? I'll be gentle.
Atheist Chaplain
I would still be easily recognizable as I have a head like a smashed cabbage
LOL
and there are ways of putting yourself in a portrait without being
recognizable ;-)
This could be a real challenge, after all once it gets bowserised with
little caveats and conditions who knows what the results might be like :-)
and you have a whole month to formulate a set of cunning rules ;-)
bowzer
How about a self portrait with no faces? You'd need to find some other way
to show who you are. Workable?

Could be good! Let's run it up the flagpole and see if anyone protests it.
