A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I’m planning to enter a local photography competition where the concept is Intersections. I’m looking for something other than the obvious: a person at a crossroads, aerial shot of a freeway interchange, street signs. I’m thinking of an elderly person holding a new infant. Any other ideas anyone wants to share?

Are you going to share the prize money with us, since we will be providing the ideas?

Sure. I’ll give you a piece of whatever ribbon I win.

Does it have to be a single shot? I feel like there is a lot to be found there using focus stacking, matching scale and putting an emphasis on the contrasts you can find around the city, like a small patch of moss on top of a wall taking half the frame and a busy part of the city the other. A broken glass bottle taking half the frame and a hypermodern building the other. Finding places where many different or even opposite things meet - large and small, nature and urban, broken/forgotten and new/imposing, fast and slow, and then bringing them together in a way that removes the conceptual border between them - i.e. creating a point of intersection where it's not obvious that there is one to be found.
