Alright sports fans... Lord Raven and I have been discussing a new project that will run con-currently with Weekend Warriors. Anyone can join in!

The Outrider Challenge. This project is about working with what you have. For some, it'll be an exercise to see what you can do with the given subject. For others, it'll be very easy to come up with ideas to execute. It won't be THAT easy in that you'll want to post the very best shots that you can come with (imagine having 10 great shots, but due to the cap, you can ONLY post your best 3! Well, post 3 if you have 'em, then wait for someone else to post then post your other 3, you get the idea).

Don't think for a second this Challenge series will be EASY. Anyone can take a picture of a character. Anyone can do studio portraits. But can 'you' push past what you are comfortable with? Feel free to treat this as a competition with each other. Who can really push themselves to do stuff they've never done or even thought about? And if ALL your shots fail, still post 3 that you think are your masterpieces for feedback. Consider it healthy competition. Consider it an exercise in patience and getting your photography skills leveled up.

In the end, have fun. The prize is pushing yourself and doing the best you possibly can.

So here's the deal. We post weekends alongside Weekend Warriors. It's VERY helpful to indicate that this is part of the Outrider Challenge (or OC or whatever you feel that it should be shortened too). Like Weekend Warriors, you'll have time to work on your masterpieces.

The subject matter is aimed MORE towards the characters themselves. Do what you can with them in your own creative manner. The subject matter is left pretty vague so you can do what you want with the subject AND be creative and do your best.

G'luck

Incidentally this challenge is bi-weekly to allow people a lot of time to come up with their best of the best of the best... with honors!

Holy crap! There were five troop builders in 1985 - what am I getting myself into!?!

I did a shoot today. KEeping my Flint pics waiting for Saturday.

I had my pic set for the weekend and realized it wasn't till this weekend. I hate having to sit on pics!
