    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

    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

    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

    Dennis Brekke

    By Dennis Brekke

    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!

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

    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.

  • Weekly Photography Challenge – Glass

    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

    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.
