Ok, today's Challenge I will call ''May the Circle be Unbroken''.

This is a lesson I found and found it to be very interesting for various reasons.

First off the idea here is to make a circle and I used 100' diameter which is way too much, however Bushido recommended a 6' which was excellent but this is the first time that I have tried this. I tried 100' and it is too vast so I shortened it to 10 or 11 paces (30'' per pace) and marked it off, Now you have to photograpgh anything you want within the circle and this is a lesson on finding subjects, using closeups or macro or anything else, the 20' circle is your playground. As time goes on I shall shorten the diameter and it will be even more testing your choice of subjects.....

These three show the area of my circle, which has a 20 pace diameter (~ 50 feet).







These are some of the subjects that I found in my circle

Good Challenge RR. This ought to get the eyes to see things that normally are passed over. One has to look before they can see.

As long as the circle remains unbroken you don't need math. You look around, twist your heel in the ground and walk a bit and then you say,

''Yeah, this'll work''.

It did for me.... :lol:

One trick here is to choose a spot where part of your diameter includes a road. Then you have the grass or whatever, a sidewalk maybe, the roadside and if your'e luckiy you might even get a roadkill there.

Sense you brought it up RR. This is from to day and does not have anything to do with my circle.

We were down wind form it and I just followed the smell to find it. I know a professor of photography that did a project on roadkill. He enlarged them to 40x40 and hung the in the hall out side his class room.

So is the idea to take a shot of the things that are all around me in a circle? And am I focusing 50 ft out??
