August Photography Assignment

So lets see how a monthly themed photography Assignment works out on here!

August's Theme: Lines

Rules:
  • Photo has to be taken within the given month
  • Photo must be your own work
  • Please only submit ONE photo per assignment
  • If possible please post all the photo info such as lens, f/ stop, shutter speed, etc.
  • All photos are open to C&C unless otherwise noted by poster
  • No photoshopping/computer enhancement (except for frame/signature)

Due Date: August 31st

This isn't a competition, just a themed assignment for those who wish to participate. The only reason there is a due date is to keep the thread from going on and on. Feel free to PM me with options for other themes.

No Photoshop? No problem.

I use Aperture 2.0 to do post-production.

I have the perfect photo in mind. As to cropping, I'm not a fan of it. Composition is done with a camera, not a keyboard or mouse. For this, I'll probably switch my camera to Raw+JPEG (instead of just Raw).

just so there's more than one photo. How 'bout some broken lines? Pentax K10D, 18-55mm lens, don't remember much else. I know other people out there can beat this boring shot.

I have a picture in film, but I think scanning it may ruin the quality of the picture since it is mounted on some mat board.

Are you worried about scanning physically damaging the print or are you worried that it wont look as good on the computer? Since it isn't a contest it doesn't matter if it looks top notch. However, it still has to be taken within the month of the assignment.

I think I finally have one in mind, just need to find the time
