Doesn't time just fly? It's again that time of the month that we announce the POTM competition theme. The theme of the month July is:

"Unusual Viewpoints"

It's always a problem to keep your work fresh and lively when you attempt to tackle the same subject time and time again. For professionals the problem is even more acute, for if their work doesn't contain a flow of new ideas, they might find themselves out of business.

One approach is to approach the subject from an unusual viewpoint. Let's see what approach would you have in this month's POTM.

You can start posting your photos now until July 22.

The prize is still $30!

As a recent new student these contests are very interesting and I am looking forward to participating. Can you possibly define "Unusual Viewpoints" so I may have a little better knowledge when looking thru my photos to know if they are unusual enough to be able to possibly enter some for consideration? I have some interesting shots from our recent vacation to Oregon that may qualify but just wanted a little clarification to the word unusual. Thanks

Hey Jeff,

unusual viewpoints mean nothing more than looking at a subject from a different perspective or view angle. For example most of shots are taken from the photographer's eye level. You'd get a totally different viewpoint lying on a ground or from a "bird's perspective".

oh ok so I think have the picture now. I think I may have some interesting photos that could work for that.
