This month’s topic is “Wet”. Our judge is Oscar O. Hofmann.
The topic is "Wet." -- water, lakes, rivers, rain, the feeling of water on your face, use your imagination!
Oscar Hoffman is the judge for WET on August 15th on Zoom:
Sup, hype squad! Oscar here, straight outta the chaos of Mexico City, the visualist story teller maestro crafting killer art work. From pics to vids, it's about aesthetics, depictions, and evoking feels. I spice up projects with quick, on-the-fly solutions because, you know, that's my jam. But here's the kicker—I'm steering this ship straight into the future where AI and Art Direction throw the ultimate party. Bringing you the next-gen vibes in art direction of innovative, stylish, and fluent in the AI visual language. I'm not about slapping "AI" on everything – I'm all about the sneak attack, making big data and graphics dance like nobody's watching. Forget the flashy, let's dive into the sublime. Join me in the realm where visuals meet voodoo, and let's whip up a masterpiece that's as effortlessly rad as it is straight fire. Stay tuned, 'cause we're about to set the AI art world on fire. Ready to slay sick sorcery? No cap, do it for the plot. Time to crush it!
*Disclaimer: This Bio is a lovechild with ChatGPT. Riffing with it with 1:1, a sprinkle of tweaks here and there, and sure, a good dose of caffeine and with a spike or two (who's keeping track?).

Water photography encompasses various subjects and techniques:
Waterfalls: Best captured after rain, using polarizer filters to reduce glare and enhance colors[2].
Waves: Long exposures create streaking lines, adding visual interest to coastal scenes[2].
Splashing water: Fast shutter speeds freeze water droplets in action, ideal for capturing crashing waves or animals moving through water[2].
Rain photography offers unique artistic possibilities:
Reflections in puddles or wet surfaces can create symmetrical compositions[5].
Water droplets on various surfaces provide intriguing macro photography opportunities[5].
Umbrellas serve as captivating props, adding shape and color to rainy scenes[5].
Shooting through rain-covered windows can produce abstract cityscapes[5].
Wet landscapes: Photographing nature after rain can enhance colors and create a moody atmosphere[2][5].
To capture these wet subjects effectively, consider using waterproof camera gear, adjusting exposure settings, and experimenting with composition techniques to convey the desired mood and visual impact.
