This assignment will challenge you to look at the world in two, rather than three dimensions!
Most of the times, when doing photography, we strive to show a scene that has deliberate “depth” to it. We use depth to try accurately represent the world around us and make it more real.
For this assignment, you should look for and capture something that looks “flat” or “two-dimensional”. The object / scene do not need to be an actual 2D object (like a drawing) but your goal should be to show very little of the “depth” of the subject being photographed. Think of it as making your capture look like a canvas itself.
Two wheeled content is not required for this assignment.
Camera phone, point & shoot, DSLR, or even film; all shooters are welcome. For this assignment there are no limitations on photographic techniques or post processing. Do keep in mind that the creativeness and technical execution of the photograph will count far more than any computer magic. All forum posting rules apply.
Your photograph has to have been taken between now and & Monday, August 29th at midnight.
Some examples of what I have in mind:
Subject that is rather “flat” by itself:
Using back-light to make the things look “flat” (silhouette):
Shadow-playing:
Have fun!
