This week's contest's theme is GRAIN.
Interpret that any way you'd like. Whether it's a field of wheat or a macro photo of a granule of sand or the patterns in natural wood or a scanned negative in which the film grain is an intrinsic part of the image, or something else entirely, your...
Well it didn't take long. The new theme is: Right here, right now.
I would like to see images showing things around you right now in this very moment when you're reading this, but try to come up with something different/interesting/artistic not just a snap of your desktop/room/outside. If you...
The topic this week is Perfect Timing!
I would love to see your nominations for photos where you have captured a moment or a scene at precisely the right time. Below is one of mine. I do not do any kind of social media like Facebook, Twitter (or 'X' or whatever it is now) or Instagram etc and...
It has always been important for people to chase away the darkness of long nights at this time of year, so many of our winter holidays are associated with displays of light. For this week's contest, any lights that are related to the winter holidays will work.
You can shoot a lit-up Christmas...
It's the last week before what we call "the holidays" here in the U.S., before people travel for family get-togethers at Thanksgiving, then there are Black Friday sales, crowded shopping malls, homes that are decorated for get-togethers, office parties, lights are strung, menorahs are lit...
Having ruminated on this for the better part of the morning and afternoon I now have a theme for the next round, finally. MORE, I want MORE from you all. Show me your MORE and then some! Before you start thinking to yourselves "what the heck has he been smoking?", let me explain.
Of late I have...
Good morning to all photographers and photographers wannabe like me!
So, being the winner of last week's contest it's up to me to pick a theme for this week's one what should I put you through? Thinking of sending you to grab a landscape from the top of a mountain not less than 20 miles away...
Okay folks, I have to bang this out in a few minutes, so I'll be straight to the point with it.
Show me what you learnt photographically, or mastered, or finally achieved, (or however you want to put that,) during 2018.
For me, it was finally getting long exposures to be able to incorporate...
I can't believe that they haven't been done for over a year and a half now as a theme for this, so we're well overdue for a feast of extravagant, playful, cute, magnificent, bizarre and otherwise pets.
I would dearly love to see some unusual pets or pets doing the unusual in this round...
Okay, I've given this some thought throughout the day and here's what I've come up with for you all as the next weekly challenge...
Show me what photography is for you. In a photograph. That is all. :D
Okay, to make this a bit easier, maybe give me a sentence accompanying your image, so I can...
The number three!
So it could be three people or three of something. Or even the number three on a front door! Or perhaps you can be even more creative! Bonus points if your photo makes me smile!
The rules are as usual:
· The photographs must be your own work.
· Be creative and have fun.
·...
For this weeks theme I'd love to see your best wide shots, not wide-angle lenses, but wide in regards to screen real-estate. It's a theme that has been done before, but not for a couple of years now, so I'm gonna resurrect it.
Panorama's are it for this week. Show me your best and most creative...
For this weeks round, I'm going with 'Cultural Diversity in your home town.' Express it however you feel like doing that in a photographic fashion. Good luck all!
The rules are as per normal:
· The photographs must be your own work.
· Be creative and have fun.
· You may only submit one photo...
Something I love to play with is using a razor thin depth of focus to really highlight good separation from the background, a detail of something, or to show off a different POV creatively. Go at it and show me how you do it too. Don't worry if you don't have a lens that gets down to f/1.2, just...
I'm a sucker for a good macro image and just to make it a little more interesting I thought it would be a bit more of a challenge in B&W. Hopefully this will make you all focus on shapes, forms and light a little bit more than just shoving a lens really close to something! ;)
Go forth and be...
Since Spring has sprung for you folks up North, I thought it would be nice to see some gorgeous imagery that shows or represents Spring springing to life again.
The photographs must be your own work.
Be creative and have fun.
You may only submit one photo per contest.
Please do not comment...
For something different this week I'd love to see your best imagery taken with a phone or tablet camera, no mirrorless, no DSLR's, no compacts, just images taken with your mobile or tablet. Show me your best, whether it be a panorama, some macro, a bit of street imagery or maybe a landscape or...
Where would life be without them? Those faithful companions that ask so little of us, well maybe the odd walk or a visit to the doggy park to play with their friends, or perhaps just a lap to sleep upon.
This week I'd love to see your pets (or other peoples), whether they be in action or at...
Welcome to this weeks photo contest, where the theme is Movement.
So many of our images are made up of static things that are perfectly in focus, this week I'd love it if you all mixed it up and expressed movement in some way through your imagery. It doesn't necessarily take a tripod to achieve...
