2024 - Week7 - Unexplored
Chosen & Submitted Photo
Sharjah Light Festival at Beeah HQ
I think the Emirate in the UAE with the worst rep is Sharjah, and I don't really know why. This week, I explored a new building combined with the Sharjah Light Festival, and it was such a pleasant experience.
The Challenge
Just the facts: The photo should be taken BY YOU and taken the week of the challenge. This photo should be of a place you've not explored, and that doesn't mean it has to be an exotic or dangerous location.
Let's go down the road less travelled and visit the Unexplored – where your camera becomes a compass, guiding you to hidden gems and untrodden paths of creativity. Forget the usual suspects; we're diving headfirst into the uncharted territory of your city, your backyard, or even your grandma's attic. Do something different - take a new route on your office commute or visit a suburb you haven't gone to before. Heck, if you can wrangle an invite to a foam party at Ibiza - say yes!
Ever thought about capturing the magic in ordinary, everyday things? Well, "Unexplored" challenges you to turn your lens towards the forgotten corners of your world. That rusty old mailbox or scenes from a neighborhood that you've never been to might just be waiting to tell a story only your camera can reveal.
From forgotten relics to hidden nature spots, this challenge urges you to capture the essence of the unfamiliar. Go and explore some place and something new, it'll help you think on your feet and teach you to adapt to new scenarios in an even better way. If by some chance you are on vacation, then this week will dovetail nicely with your travel plans. The thrill of discovering new places and documenting the nuances of life hones your skills and expands your creative arsenal. It's a crash course in adaptability, pushing you to find beauty where others might just walk by.
"Unexplored" is not just about snapping pictures; it's about unearthing a treasure trove of artistic vision within yourself. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a smartphone shutterbug, these uncharted territories will broaden your mind and skillsets faster than a crash course in astrophysics (and way more fun, trust me).
