As the winner of the last round (New Normal / Neue Normalität) it is my great pleasure to set the theme for the next Barnack Challenge. For the Barnack Challenge #41 I have chosen the theme “Contrast / Kontrast”

The dates are:

Taking pictures:        Saturday January 23 to Sunday February 7

Posting pictures:        Monday February 8 to Sunday February 21

Voting:        Monday February 22 to Sunday March 7

Good luck!

All the best,

—Doug

 

As a reminder here the rules:

The Barnack Challenge runs four times a year.

It is open to all Leica User Forum members. 

In order to participate you must shoot a roll of film in line with a predefined theme within a defined period using a Screwmount or early fixed-lens Leica camera. You may use any lens, regardless of age or manufacturer, as long as it is LTM.

Select your shot that in your view best matches the theme and post it onto a single thread set up for the purpose by the organiser in the Barnack Challenge Sub Forum. Post-processing of your image should be kept to a minimum - nothing that couldn't be done in a wet darkroom fifty years ago. You may post your image any size within forum rules.

The thread will be open for postings but NOT for voting to allow all entries to be posted before voting starts. Your entries are not anonymous; feel free to post camera, lens and film details. 

Voting will then be opened. Votes may then be cast on the following basis:

Three points for best, two points for second and one point for third.

Voting runs for two weeks. One vote per member, no voting for your own image.

The winner gets the right to set the theme for the next Barnack Challenge.

STARTING NOW.

Barnack Challenge #41 begins today. I look forward to seeing how many ways there are to interpret the theme of Contrast.
