New Points of View Photo Project Image
Ok, since I haven’t gotten any submissions for this week’s Points of View Photo Project as of yet, and I’ve heard that it wasn’t the best source image to use, I’ve decided to offer up an alternate.
From the Archives
To close out the week, I thought I would take a look back at some posts from the past and see what I’ve done, and where I’ve gone since the early days of this blog.
Reminders and Such
As the week and month progresses I figured it would be a good time to pass on a few reminders for how you can take part in the goings on here at Jason D. Moore Photography.
Points of View Photo Project #24
Welcome to the 24th edition of the Points of View Photo Project here at Jason D. Moore Photography!
UPDATE: New deadline for submitting your version of the image for week #25!
Each week readers from all over the world tackle a common source image and display it to show the many interpretations, perspectives, and approaches that can be taken from the same starting point. I always fins it interesting how a single image can be manipulated and processed to express such different feelings and emotions.
If you are new to the project, or if you’ve been following along regularly and would like to participate, be sure to scroll to click on “More…” and scroll down to the bottom to download the source image for next week and learn how to submit.
But now, on with this week’s images!
Points of View Photo Project: #23
Welcome to our 23rd edition of the Points of View Photo Project here at Jason D. Moore Photography!
We saw a really good showing this week with 5 participants in the project! Thank you all so much! I think we have a great mixture of interpretations this time around that I’m sure you will enjoy. I particularly appreciate it when someone really makes it their own and does something special with it – be it a nice processing treatment or an outside-the-box edit job.
Before we get too much farther I’d like to, once again, extend an invitation to you to share your out-of-the-camera original images to serve as our starting point in an upcoming week. Read on down to the bottom of the post for more info and where to send it.
And now, on to the images!
Points of View Photo Project #22
Welcome to the 22nd edition of the Points of View Photo Project! This week we have been lucky enough to have a chance to work with not one, but three source images from reader and blog contributor Steve Kalman who challenged us to produce an HDR image, if we were so bold to try it.
Read on to see what some of our regulars have done with these photos and to learn how you can grab next week’s source image and participate in this excellent project that gets your creative juices flowing, invites you to experiment and try new things, and opens you up to the different perspectives that can come from a common image.
Also, be sure to scroll down to the bottom to find out how you can share your photos and a source image for one of our upcoming editions of the project!
Monday Blog News
I thought I would start off the week with a few invitations and updates to help everyone get more involved here at Jason D. Moore Photography.
Points of View Photo Project: #21
Welcome to the 21st week of the Points of View Photo Project here at Jason D. Moore Photography!
For those of you new to the project, each week I post a source image that is straight out of the camera that readers are free to download and manipulate however they please (as long has it is used for the sole purpose of this project) and then send it back to me for posting here. The goal is to share the many different interpretations – or points of view – that can be applied to a common source image.
This week, we have 3 different takes on the original coming from myself and a couple of our regulars, Andy and Hendrik. If you would like to participate, click on the “more” link below and find out how you can take part in our special, reader-submitted HDR Points of View Project.
Points of View Project Extended
We all seem to be getting back on our feet and up to speed with the new year.
So, with that in mind, I’m extending the deadline for the Points of View Photo Project another week to give you all a chance to participate. Scroll down to the post from the 5th to grab the source image and send me your interpretations by next Thursday for inclusion.
In the meantime, come back Monday for our first edition of my new regular guest blogger series!
Have a great weekend!
Points of View Photo Project Source Image #21
As promised, we are starting the Points of View Photo Project back up with the new year!
I’m adding in a couple of elements though that will hopefully make this project more interactive, not only for our participants, but for the readers as well. Read more, after the jump.
Monday News
Well here we are, the last Monday of the year. I’m looking forward to the coming year and would like to get some input from you about what you’d like to see more of from the blog.
After the jump you’ll find some ideas of what we did in 2009 (both successfully and not so much) and some things that are already in the works for 2010 to get your mind working. So please, let me know!
Points of View Photo Project: #20
Welcome to week #20 of the Points of View Photo Project!
This will be the final edition of the project for 2009 and it will begin again with a new source image after the new year.
It has been such a treat for me over the course of this project to see all of the different interpretations there have been of my originals. Some have been dramatic, some whimsical, some similar, some surreal, all unique. Thank you to everyone who has participated so far, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with in the coming weeks.
Correction: Due to an error between the chair and the keyboard, the URL for contributor Hendrik Demey was grabbed incorrectly and is wrong in the gallery. His correct web address is http://hdemey.zenfolio.com/. My apologies.
Special Weekend Edition
So much has been going on this week that I just haven’t had time to fit everything into my posts over the last few days. So, to carry you through the weekend – as though you didn’t have enough to do with the holiday season in full swing – I thought I’d throw up a bonus post with few things that have either come up or have fallen through the cracks.
After the jump, you’ll learn more about a fun new item from Scott Kelby, the next source image for the Points of View Photo Project, and more! (more…)
Points of View Photo Project: #19
Welcome to the 19th edition of the weekly Points of View Photo Project!
Each week I post a source image that is the out-of-the-camera original and offer it up for anyone who would like to take a shot at processing it. This isn’t a contest, this isn’t about who is better, it’s simply a chance to experiment and have fun.
When everyone is complete, they send me their versions and I post a gallery to share the many perspectives with which a single image might be seen. Take a look at the Points of View Photo Gallery for this week!
If you would like to share a photo you took for us to use as our source image, please send it along to pov@asondmoore.com and we’ll use it in an upcoming week!
The Points of View Photo Project is sponsored by Towner Jones Photography, LLC. Please take a few moments and head over to see some of the great things Rob is doing!

Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Program
After a brief hiatus I am now back to my normal schedule of daily posts between now and Christmas.
Before I get too far, I want to remind you all that the next Points of View Photo Project will be posted this Friday. If you would like to participate, and it’s open to everyone, please head over and grab the source image for this week. All you have to do is download it, process it, and send it back to me at pov@jasondmoore.com by Thursday at around 8pm (Eastern) so I can include it in the gallery with the other contributors from across the country and around the world.
Now that I’ve got that out of the way… (more…)
November Photo Contest Reminder
That’s right! We’re already over halfway through the month and the November Photo Contest only has a couple of weeks left!
Regulars will know that there is usually no theme for my monthly photo contests but this month I thought it would be fun to see what you could do with your camera phones (thanks to a suggestion from my friend, Illustrator Eric Maruscak). You can process the photos as much as you like, as always, but it should originate from a phone. (more…)
Points of View Photo Project Reminder
I know I let it slip last week, in lieu of a software review for the Topaz Adjust Photoshop Plugin but I am still accepting participants for the next Points of View Photo Project.
All the information you need is in the last Points of View post and if you send your version of the image by tonight at 10pm (Eastern) I’ll be sure to include it in the gallery for the project.
The main purpose of this project is to get your creative energy flowing. Everyone sees the finished product in a different way and it’s interesting to discover how each participant in the project takes their own distinct path from the same starting point.
A second goal – and perhaps more important than the first – is to get you involved. This blog, in its current incarnation, was started to build up a community of creative people who are passionate about Photoshop and Photography. And one way of doing that is through these projects. I know that this site, and your experience here, will be enriched the more active participation we see. So please, send in a finished image for the project. Send in a photo to be reviewed. Write a guest blog post or article. Get involved!
Points of View Project Reminder
This is going to be another abbreviated post day. I’ve been burning the midnight oil – rather, the 2am oil – the past couple of nights and then working full days so I’m pretty whipped.
Let me just take a moment to remind you that tomorrow will be the next installment of the Points of View Photo Project and there’s still time to contribute your version of this week’s source image. Just send it in before about 7pm (Eastern) tonight and I’ll be sure to include it in the gallery with the others.
Also, while I’m at it, I’m still accepting images for Photo Reviews and questions for the Ask Jason column. So please send ‘em in!
Until tomorrow!
Points of View Photo Project #10
Welcome to the tenth edition of the “Points of View Project“!
Every other Friday I will post a new, out-of-the-camera image for you to download. You may process, manipulate, composite, experiment, or otherwise alter the photo in any way you wish. The hope is that we will get to see a number of different takes on the same image and/or see it used in unique ways as a part of a new image.
This is not a contest or competition. It’s simply a way of stretching our creative muscles and to get those juices flowing through experimentation and seeing how many different interpretations can be applied to the same starting photo.
Check out our Points of View Gallery showing this week’s source image and how it has been seen from our contributors’ different points of view. I am especially pleased with this week’s contributions. They are all great images but I must say that I have a certain appreciation for Andy Smith’s because he took a totally different tack with the project, not just processing the original, but giving it a real twist and I think it really adds something to the project.
Thank you to everyone who contributed this week!
Here’s the image for week #11:
Click here to open the full-size version to download as your starting point. Have fun with it! I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
You can do whatever you want to the photo as long as you use the given photo in some way as part of your final image. In fact, I know the potential is there for a number of people to end up processing the image in very similar ways and getting similar results. Because of that, I’d like to encourage you to experiment and/or take things a couple of steps further to really challenge yourself to make it truly unique.
Once you have worked with the image as much as you feel it needs, simply email it back to me at pov@jasondmoore.com by Wednesday August 26th for inclusion in the project. Please be sure to include your name, location, and website/blog URL so I may properly credit you.
If you would like to send in a photo – unprocessed, straight out of the camera – for us to use as our starting image for a future week, please send me an email to the same address listed above.
I’d like to note that the image(s) that will be used in a given week are only offered for use within the confines of the “Points of View Project“. I am not releasing any rights for use beyond creating your submission. I would also express the same for any starting images that may be provided by other participants. Feel free to re-post your version of the image on your site to share your participation in the project. I just ask for a link back here when you do.

Points of View Photo Project Reminder
Just a quick reminder that there is still time to send in your image for the Points of View Photo Project. Simply follow that link to download this week’s source image and do whatever you want to it. Send it back to me by tonight – really if you make it by early afternoon tomorrow you’ll make it in – and I’ll include it in the gallery on Friday.
For those of you who may be new to this project, there are no restrictions on how you process the image as long as you use the source photo in some way as you produce your final image. This isn’t a contest, there are no prizes or anything like that. It’s simply meant to be an exercise for your creative brain. So have fun with it! Experiment. Try something you’ve never done before. And send it in!
I’ve been meaning to put together some sort of banner for this project but haven’t gotten around to it. So, if any of you would like to play around with some ideas, send in a banner that is about 600px wide by no more than 200px tall to my dedicated email address and I’ll pick the best entry as the official banner for the project. Good Luck! And I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone processes the image!
Jason D. Moore Photography Logo Apparel
Fear not, the results for the photo contests are coming soon and I’m having a great time reviewing all of the excellent submissions!
I’d like to announce today that I have opened a Cafe Press store featuring a wide range of Jason D. Moore Photography logo apparel & gifts. There is a variety of items available – including a wide selection of t-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, magnets & stickers, and a tote bag – and there’s something for every price range and style.
Show your support for the blog and shop today!
If you purchase anything from the store, be sure to send in a photo of you wearing/using your shirt/mug/tote/etc. and I’ll post it here on the site. So, shop now!
Also, as a side note – and totally unrelated to this – I have decided to discontinue the “On the 4th” Photo Project. It hasn’t caught on as much as we all would have hoped. A huge thank you and “nice job” to everyone who has participated over the past few months! I’d like to encourage you – and everyone out there – to join us in the Points of View Photo Project with the next edition coming up next week!
Points of View Photo Project: Image #9
As promised, here is the source image for the Points of View photo project for next Friday, the 31st. Click on the link to download the full-size version to process.
This image was taken on Satuday during the Cazenovia Photowalk as part of Scott Kelby’s 2nd Annual Worldwide Photowalk. We had a great group turn out for the walk and I’m sure some great images were made by our participants. I’m really looking forward to seeing what everyone came up with!
As always, when you download this photo for the project, you can process, manipulate, or otherwise alter it in any way you wish. Just send your final image to me at pov@jasondmoore.com by Wednesday the 29th so I can include it in the gallery.
Good luck with it and I’m looking forward to seeing your interpretations!
Points of View Project: #8
Welcome to the eighth edition of the “Points of View Project“!
Every other Friday I will post a new, out-of-the-camera image for you to download. You may process, manipulate, composite, experiment, or otherwise alter the photo in any way you wish. The hope is that we will get to see a number of different takes on the same image and/or see it used in unique ways as a part of a new image.
This is not a contest or competition. It’s simply a way of stretching our creative muscles and to get those juices flowing through experimentation and seeing how many different interpretations can be applied to the same starting photo.
Check out our Points of View Gallery showing this week’s source image and how it has been seen from our contributors’ different points of view.
Thank you to everyone who contributed this week!
I usually place the next week’s image here but with the Worldwide Photowalk tomorrow I thought I would wait to have a fresh source image until after the walk.
Once you have worked with the image as much as you feel it needs, simply email it back to me at pov@jasondmoore.com by Wednesday July 29th for inclusion in the project. Please be sure to include your name, location, and website/blog URL so I may properly credit you.
If you would like to send in a photo – unprocessed, straight out of the camera – for us to use as our starting image for a future week, please send me an email to the same address listed above.
