Take a small-scale landscape where detail and intimacy are key. No wide-angle stunners. The primary subject is suggested to be within arms reach, but not required. Difficulty: No people.
Theme suggestion kudos go to ennuipoet and orionid–thanks!
May 31, 2012 at 2:09 pm #47522YugoboyParticipantSo, just so I get this right, it’s a landscape of feet and yards?
A landscape shot of landscape that would fit in the average living room or less?May 31, 2012 at 2:52 pm #47523BarracudaParticipantThat’s basically how I’m reading it too. Here’s a few of my current possibles. Anyone feel free to correct me if I’m off base:

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-G4HUiMr0QDY/T4HAf3URUpI/AAAAAAAAGbI/rJodjUaKM7A/s800/IMG_2360-17.jpg1 and 3 yes, 2 maybe not so much. While orionid is the final arbiter the idea is intimate landscapes, down low, without the broad expanse of the sky and objects in the distance.
May 31, 2012 at 4:03 pm #47525BarracudaParticipantYea, I can see where #2 would be borderline. It’s not exactly WIDE angle, but probably not quite as tiny as intended.
May 31, 2012 at 4:09 pm #47526ravnosticParticipantI’m fairly certain from test runs with orionid earlier this year that 2 is right out. 1 and 3 are much more on target. Intimacy in a small landscape is the general idea. Of course, I could be totally wrong. We drinks, ya know (though work keeps interfering with that, dammit…and that astrophotography stuff–takes up so much time…)
May 31, 2012 at 10:41 pm #47527KestranaParticipantFor this, we’d rather see the trees than the forest. I think your #1 & 3 are on target, #2 not so much.

Does this qualify? or something similar?
Edit: they are fake people 😳

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-G4HUiMr0QDY/T4HAf3URUpI/AAAAAAAAGbI/rJodjUaKM7A/s800/IMG_2360-17.jpgYes. No. Yes. All the above comments are spot on.

The scale is good, but I don’t know that it really says landscape. I’d allow it but it may play hell with the voters.
June 1, 2012 at 11:39 am #47530thepostessParticipantthat was the concept anyway. I’ll work on the landscape part.
June 9, 2012 at 2:32 am #47531BarracudaParticipantOne more to run through the ‘on target’ check:

June 9, 2012 at 3:49 am #47532orionidParticipantPerfect.
June 9, 2012 at 5:27 am #47533YugoboyParticipantThat’s very nice Barracuda…
I’ve been shooting for this the last couple days… I’ve focused on the words “Tiny” and “Land”. YMMV
However, the church I stopped at after school today also had a small koi/goldfish pond with water lilies. Can I use these, or does the water say “pick some other contest”? I”m good either way, just wondering.
June 17, 2012 at 1:21 pm #47534YugoboyParticipantOk. I know I have 2 that fit the theme pefectly.
But… does this: http://m.flickr.com/lightbox?id=7185459009 ?The photo conucentrates on a small area, but you can see sky.
I’ll accept either answer..June 17, 2012 at 8:05 pm #47535orionidParticipantOk. I know I have 2 that fit the theme pefectly.
