99. Chrysler Building
Contest goal:
The purpose in this contest is to photograph a subject which looks deformed. The deformation has to be accomplished by holding for example a glass in front of the lens or shooting your object via a reflecting surface which isn’t flat. Using special lenses and (Photoshop-)filters is not allowed. Your subject can be anything you want, an object, a landscape, a person… and so on.

97. Growing Tall
Contest goal:
Take photos of anything you want, but the view must be looking up. Some tips I found online: – Squat down and tilt your camera up towards your subject. – Lay on your back directly beneath your subject. – If you’re comfortably positioned in a chair, don’t get up; just angle the camera up and snap away. So instead of photographing a person looking up (like in the looking up contest), take a shot of an upwards view.

The cropping of a photo can have a dramatic affect on it’s quality, sometimes making the difference between a snapshot and a work of art.

Contest goal:
In this diptych you’ll have to show us the same object before and after you have smashed it or used it. You can use a light bulb, a coffee mug or anything you want. Smashing can be: dropping it, throwing it, using a hammer or other heavy object… as long as the object is broken. Using can be: a burned down match. In both definitions the original object can not be used anymore for the original purpose afterwards. One exception: you can not eat the object. The first photo should show us the object before you smashed – used it, the second after you smashed – used it. You may use Photoshop to place the 2 photos together and a small border between the images is allowed.

36. Clown
Contest goal:
Take photos of anything you want, but the view must be looking up. Some tips I found online: – Squat down and tilt your camera up towards your subject. – Lay on your back directly beneath your subject. – If you’re comfortably positioned in a chair, don’t get up; just angle the camera up and snap away. So instead of photographing a person looking up (like in the looking up contest), take a shot of an upwards view.

27. This will reduce my drinking.
Contest goal:
In this diptych you’ll have to show us the same object before and after you have smashed it or used it. You can use a light bulb, a coffee mug or anything you want. Smashing can be: dropping it, throwing it, using a hammer or other heavy object… as long as the object is broken. Using can be: a burned down match. In both definitions the original object can not be used anymore for the original purpose afterwards. One exception: you can not eat the object. The first photo should show us the object before you smashed – used it, the second after you smashed – used it. You may use Photoshop to place the 2 photos together and a small border between the images is allowed.

24. Dark Tower
Contest goal:
Take photos of anything you want, but the view must be looking up. Some tips I found online: – Squat down and tilt your camera up towards your subject. – Lay on your back directly beneath your subject. – If you’re comfortably positioned in a chair, don’t get up; just angle the camera up and snap away. So instead of photographing a person looking up (like in the looking up contest), take a shot of an upwards view.

The cropping of a photo can have a dramatic affect on it’s quality, sometimes making the difference between a snapshot and a work of art. In this contest, perform a “close crop” on a subject of your choice. In a typical picture, we would see 100% of the subject. In this close crop, at least 40% of the subject (but maybe more) should be out of frame.
