Weekly Photography Challenge – Speed

By Chester Lam

Your job this week is to find and photograph a subject that is fast. Try and capture speed in whichever way you want – freeze it or blur it. Remember shutter speed controls motion in your image.

Share your images below:

Simply upload your shot into the comment field (look for the little camera icon in the Disqus comments section) and they’ll get embedded for us all to see or if you’d prefer upload them to your favourite photo sharing site and leave the link to them. Show me your best images in this week’s challenge. Sometimes it takes a while for an image to appear so be patient and try not to post the same image twice.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Nature

16 Jul

This week we are doing a series of articles to help you do better nature photography. See previous articles here:

  • 3 Habits Every Outdoor Photographer Should Develop to Avoid Missing Shots
  • 5 Tips for Better Nature Photography
  • 27 Serene Images of the Natural World
Rodney Campbell

By Rodney Campbell

Weekly Photography Challenge – Nature

This one is pretty straight forward. Go find some nature and take photos of it. It could be as exotic as an iceberg in Antarctica or an elephant on a safari in Kenya – or as everyday as the squirrell or little bird in your backyard, or a walk in your local park with your dog.

Remember, more nature articles every day this week – so keep reading!

Weekly Photography Challenge – Laughter

09 Jul

Real, natural emotions captured with a camera can be challenging like getting photos of real laughter.

How to approach people photography is up to you. There are two basic approaches:

  1. The sneak attack with a long lens where the subject is unaware of being photographed
  2. The direct approach where the subject is engaged with you and the camera
Meena Kadri

Weekly Photography Challenge – Laughter

How you decide to approach it is up to you. Do you prefer to be inconspicuous and wait for the right moment, observing people from afar. Or do you like to be part of the action, maybe even take part in or help cause the laughter.

Do you find, like I do, that children are quicker to laugh than adults? Perhaps because they have less inhibitions? Or maybe they’re just sillier?

Either way – go take some photos of people laughing, and have some fun yourself!

Weekly Photography Challenge – Bridges

25 Jun

Bridge the gap – see how these photographers photographed some pretty unique bridges.

Peter McConnochie

By Peter McConnochie

Weekly Photography Challenge – Bridges

There are two most obvious ways to photograph a bridge – from the side, or on it – as you can see by the two different angles of the Tower Bridge in London below. That’s a couple ideas for you. They both also use some long exposure photography, and have photographed the bridge at night or blue hour.

How about getting under the bridge like this examples – never know what you’ll find under there, maybe a troll?!

Photograph a local bridge, or an iconic one if you have one in your area. Just go find a bridge and shoot something in your style.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Glass

11 Jun

How do you photograph something that is transparent or see through, like glass? See how these photographers did it with 28 images of glass subjects, then see if that gives you some ideas for this week’s challenge.

Designmilk

By designmilk

Weekly Photography Challenge – Glass

This should be easy enough to find subjects for this week’s challenge – glass – the tricky part is how to photograph it. Glass reflects everything including the light source and even yourself. So how you approach this will be up to you. Shoot a crystal glass in the studio, photograph an old weathered window pane, work with the reflections and go with them for effect, or shoot through glass. Get creative.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Minimalism

04 Jun

It is often said in photography that less is more, but what does that mean? Going minimalist, putting less “stuff” in your images can often help to make them more powerful. The subject becomes more obvious to the viewer, the image is less cluttered and clean, and it has more visual appeal.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Minimalism

This week it’s your challenge to photograph less!

Find a subject that you can photograph simply. Make it as clean as possible so focus is on the subject and nothing else. If you have more than one thing in your photo it’s too many – get closer, or find another subject and practice shooting with minimalism.
