Those were the boring rules, here’s where it gets good.

• Entries can be taken in the day or at night
• Shoot as many experiments as you like, hashtag them all, we don’t mind!
• Experiment with different shutter speeds and as always, have the most fun you could possibly have!

Quote of the Day!

"Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph," -Matt Hardy

News: A camera you control with your eye!

Imagine, if you will, that you're holding a lens up to your eye and looking through it. Try this with any normal lens and the image that you see will not only be hard to make out, but probably upside down. 


However, a new concept camera may allow users to look into the lens and not only see the image right side up a clearly, but control focus, zoom, and snapping photos by looking, narrowing/widening the eyes, and blinking.

Weekly Wackness Experiment!!!!!

HEY EVERYONE!!! It's about that time for a Weekly Wackness Experiment. Each week, the creative team behind Indie-Photo 101 will come up with the guidelines for a photographic experiment that YOU undertake. If you read the Weekly Wackness Experiments page, there's a full description of what this is. (and an explanation as to why we say Weekly Wackness Experiments so much)

"But IP-101 guy, why should I participate in some stupid Weekly Whatever?"

Well, Rude-Internet-Guy, these are projects that add to your artistic development. You break the "rules" of traditional photography and step outside your comfort zone to create something totally spontaneous and creative. These photos, even if they're "bad," can lead to an infinite supply of artistic inspiration for photoshoots and other photographic endeavors.

Still don't care?

Well, these photos are pieces that you can use in your own professional portfolios, or you may even submit them to an art gallery as abstract pieces. Either way, you're experiencing growth as an artist.

...still nothing?

Well check it out! We're inviting YOU to go out and do these experiments and hashtag them with the tag #weeklywackness so the creative and technical team at Indie-Photo 101 can sift through your entries and choose a select number to be featured ON Indie-Photo 101. 


You ready now?

Good.

Here's the rules this week:

• All entries must be completely and 100% yours 
• All entries must be created strictly for Weekly Wackness Experiments
• All entries must be created IN-CAMERA using no third party digital enhancements
• yes you can use weird custom white balance or in-camera B&W or sepia
• yes you can use every photo editing app you have if you're using an iPhone for Weekly Wackness Experiments

• Shoot as many experiments as you like, hashtag them all, we don't mind!
