So I Broke a Mirror... by *MichelleRamey on deviantART

News

Today, while taking pictures, I broke a pretty big mirror with a lime. (Try not to question it) Right after that, however, I was hit with an idea for a new technique that will revolutionize my water & macro photography. So, I suppose the myth is a lie! (Not that I believed it anyway, I just found it ironic.) Anyways, expect lots of new water/macro photos that are a lot clearer, more interesting, and better-lit.

In other news, you should check out #HighSpeedPhoto. We've already got a lot of the most popular DA high-speed photographers on board, including `Davenit and `Photosbykev, and you won't get spammed with deviations, as we are quite selective with our submissions!

Now, the real reason for posting another journal:

Conceptual Contest

Thanks so much to everyone that participated (entered, offered to feature the winners) in my last contest! And it's that time again: that's right, I'm starting another photography contest! And this will be #3

And the theme is...
Conceptual!

For those of you who don't know what this is or need a refresher...
"Conceptual photography is a photography genre in which the artists makes a photograph of a concept or idea. Usually the conception of the idea precedes the realization of the photography."

Vague still, I know. Maybe examples will help.

Some of My Examples of What I Would Accept:

HUGE HUGE hint: Love is NOT the only concept out there.. I want to see a deep, big-picture theme or something important/relevant in your life.

If you still need help with the whole idea of conceptual photography, feel free to note me-- I'm not too mean
