Hey! Welcome to the Self Assignments Blog! My goal for this blog is simple: To give people something to think about while shooting. Feel free to read through and try some of the assignments. If you'd like, you can put yourself through "Self-Assignments 101" or "SA101". It'll be challenging to your imagination, camera and your mind. Most importantly though, it'll be fun!

Assignment 1.2 - Red, Yellow And Cars...Oh My!

No, No, No! I thought it was Lions, Tigers and Bears! Oh My!
Not for this assignment it isn’t! Continue reading to find out why.

These cars are fast, so let’s begin before they get away from us.

Have you ever gotten bored in the car and simply counted cars? That is what this assignment is based on. Red and yellow cars specifically.

There are lots of cars on the road; white, black, blue, green, grey and so on. But, there never seem to be enough red or yellow ones. So, this assignment will put the spotlight on the red and yellow cars in our world.

Go out and take ten pictures of cars. Five yellow and five red. Any make, any model, but none of them can overlap. For example, you can’t have a red Corvette and a yellow Corvette. At the end, you’ll have ten different car makes. There will be a surprise for the person who takes the best yellow car picture and the best red car picture.

Tag your ten pictures with "SA101.1.2cars" and upload them to our Flickr Group. The deadline for this assignment is Wednesday, October 29, 2008 at 11:59 PM EST.

You can not go to a dealership and do this. You must find them on the road. It’s part of the challenge.

Have fun!

If you have any questions, you can ask them in the Flickr Discussion Thread for this assignment which can be found here.

Have fun!
Stay tuned for the next assignment!
