The Fotothing Challenge

Fotothing would like to announce Challenge 82, entitled “Distortion”; Commencing on Wed 7th Nov and finishing at 11.59 pm / 23:59 GMT on Mon 19th Nov.

This week we would like you to have fun interpreting “Distortion” within your entries, without relying on such tools as Photoshop!

To capture “Distortion” within your entry you may like to experiment with slow shutter speeds and manually zooming whilst taking your photographs, as well as placing your camera behind different types of glass, playing with reflections or using natural light to your advantage!

In our example we have a captured a window scene, distorted by the raindrops on the outside of the glass.

Remember, it does not matter whether you have the latest technology or indeed a humble cameraphone, what we are looking for is vision, originality and photos that really capture the theme.

TO ENTER YOUR PHOTOGRAPH:

* Upload your picture to your Fotothing in the usual way.
