New JPG Theme: Shoot from the Hip
Posted by Christi Ginger on 13 October 2008.
Hello! All JPG Issue 20 themes are now open! In addition to scheduling two existing themes, Severe Weather and Beloved, as issue themes, we've also just opened a new theme: Shoot from the Hip, sponsored by Lomography.
For this theme, take a chance, leave your viewfinder behind, and shoot from the hip. You don't have to hold your camera at hip level for this theme--but you do need to take a photo without looking through your viewfinder for a new, exciting perspective. Up in the air, behind your back, while running, jumping--the possibilities are endless.
For this theme, we've teamed up with Lomography and are using rule #4 of their ten golden rules. In cooperation with, and co-judged by the hipshot experts of the Lomographic Society International, the top three winners will receive one of the brand new and lovingly crafted Lubitel+ twin-lens reflex cameras, and each of the runners-up who get picked for this theme will receive a DianaF+ camera starter kit from Lomography.
Here are just a few of the fun early submissions taken in true Shoot from the Hip fashion:
