Points of View Photo Project #28
Happy Friday everyone! You know what that means, it’s time for the 28th installment of the Points of View Photo Project!
As I mentioned last week, this week’s source image comes all the way from Antarctica courtesy of my brother, Chris.
For those of you who might be new to this photo project of ours, each week I post a source image (either my own or user-submitted) that is straight out of the camera without any post-processing whatsoever. Anyone is free to download it, edit it however they like, and return it to me with an explanation of their processing so I can post it with the other submissions.
But why keeping trying to explain it when you can see how it all works for yourself with this week’s source image. Enjoy!
Points of View Photo Project #27
Welcome to the 27th week of the Points of View Photo Project!
This week we are fortunate to have a source image from Friend-of-the-Blog Marc Benton of the Columbus Skyline. Thank you Marc!
We have 6 versions for your enjoyment this week! I am excited for the continued growth of the project and I encourage you all to give it a shot for next week. We have a special image at the end of the post that comes from my brother, Chris, from his recent trip to Antarctica.
So have a look at what we all did to process this initial photo and, who knows, you might learn a little something too!
Points of View Photo Project #26
Welcome to the 26th edition of the Points of View Photo Project here at Jason D. Moore Photography!
This week’s source image came from regular contributor, Henrik Demey from Belgium. About the photo, he writes:
“This picture was taken during a city trip to Prague, Czechia. It shows the central interior of the Saint Nicholas Church, on the Old Town Square. This baroque church dates from 1735.”
Thanks for sharing your shot with us, Hendrik! If any of you would like to share one of your shots with us to use as our source image in an upcoming week, please send it to me at pov@jasondmoore.com and you may see it in the next few weeks.
And now, onto this week’s contributions!
Points of View Photo Project #25
Hey Everyone! Welcome to the 25th installment of the Points of View Photo Project!
Today’s source image was taken on my honeymoon back in the fall of 2007. We went back to the park where the ceremony was held and we noticed all along the riverbed, someone had gone and stacked rocks into hundreds and hundreds of these things. Very strange, but very cool!
Click “more” to see how Hendrick Demey and I processed this photo. Then, scroll to the bottom of this post to grab the source image for next week (generously provided by Hendrik).
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.
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!
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.
The Ethics of Digital Photography: Part 3
Today’s edition of our miniseries looking into questions of what is and what is not “ok” when it comes to our work as creative professionals steers us towards the more conceptual side of the discussion. What are the limits of using the creative ideas of others in your own work?
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.
Points of View Photo Project: #12
Welcome to the 12th 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.
Thank you to everyone who contributed this week!
Here’s the image for week #13:
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 September 23rd 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 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!

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!

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!

So head on over and grab the source image for week #4 of the project and return it to me by tomorrow night to be included.
It’s a really cool exercise where different readers from all over the world get the same starting image and interpret it in anyway they wish so that we can share the many perspectives that can be achieved from a common beginning.
After you’ve done that, be sure to signup to participate in – or lead – a photowalk as part of Scott Kelby’s 2nd Annual Worldwide Photowalk. I’m hosting the Cazenovia, NY Photowalk so if you’re in or around CNY register for the Cazenovia Photowalk today!
