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 2.2 - Your Favorite Foods - Contest Style

Yet another section of the You Chapter…….This time? Your favorite foods in contest style.

It’s our first official contest.

So, everybody has a favorite food, right? Well, for this assignment, you’ll show us what it is.

Your assignment is simple. Take three photos of your three favorite photos. That’s all. There are a few rules though.

First, please make sure the food you take a picture of hasn’t been used in any way.
Second, you can only take pictures of three foods. No more, no less.

When you are taking pictures of the food, you’re welcome to use a spray bottle to mist the food to make it look cold, but you may not use ay artificial coloring or materials for the shoot. You can adjust simple things in post processing, but you must disclose what you did.

After you have taken your three pictures, upload them to Flicker, tag them with “SA101.2.2food” and drop them into the group. You’re done!

The deadline for this assignment will be November 19, 2008.

SNEAK PEAK: Our next assignment will be very cool, and free style. I’ll give you the topic, and you’ll do what you want with it.

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!
