  • Kitchens: Weekly Photography Challenge

    Easter BreakfastKitchens – we all have one (or at least should have access to something resembling one) – so lets make our kitchens the focus of this weekends photography challenge.

    The task is simple – take the best possible shot that you can in your kitchen.

    Let your imagination run wild – you might snap a food image of something in your kitchen, you might take a shot out of your kitchen window, you may choose to sit a portrait subject in your kitchen, you could set up a still life shot on your kitchen table, you might try your hand at a self portrait in the kitchen….. anything goes.

    Feel free to take a humorous approach, a serious one, or to be as creative as you’d like.

    I can’t wait to see what you cook up (sorry)!

    Note: We’re looking for ‘new’ shots – this is a challenge rather than a look through your archives for a shot!

    Here are a few shots to get your imagination flowing:

  • Seasonal: Weekly Photography Challenge

    Under "That" TreeThis week your photographic challenge is to take and share an image based on the theme of ‘Seasonal’.

    Recently we published a post on how to improve your photography of Flowers which may serve as inspiration for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere for this weeks challenge but for those of us down south it could be time to look for some more Autumnal shots (I notice the leaves on the trees in our street this week are turning red).

    So whatever the season where you are – grab your camera, head outside and try to capture the essence of what’s happening in Mother Nature in your part of the world right now.

    Once you’ve taken your ‘seasonal’ image and have upload it to your favourite photo sharing site either share a link to it or – embed it in the comments using the our new tool to do so.

  • Window Light Portraits: Weekly Photography Challenge

    During the week we posted a simple exercise here on dPS to practice working with Natural Light (from a window) when taking portraits.

    Today we thought it might be fun to make the exercise this weeks photographic challenge as it’s both simple to do and something that has the potential to teach you a lot (and all you really need to do it is a camera and a window (or even a door would do).

    16-05-10 Last Of The Summer (Wine)In the last week on dPS we’ve posted a couple of tutorials that focus upon the ‘Sun’ in different ways with our posts Using the Sun as a Compositional Element and How to Use Sunset Light to Light Portraits.

    So – today I’m issuing you with a challenge that could allow you to practice those techniques (and a followup to last weeks Silhouette challenge). Your challenge is to take and share a photo that fits into the theme of ‘sunlight’.

    Feel free to take the theme in any direction – it is intentionally broad. You may choose to take a portrait by sunlight, take advantage of the Golden Hour, shoot a sunset or sunrise, shoot in the midday sun or even experiment with capturing some artistic lens flare.

    It is totally up to you.

  • Lines: Weekly Photography Challenge

    Vertigo - a building covered in buildingsThis week your photographic challenge is to shoot and share an image or two on the theme of ‘lines’.

    ‘Lines’ are all around us – they’re in architecture, they’re in landscapes, they’re in many of the things we use on a day to day basis.

    In photography spotting lines and working with them can really help with composition and have a dynamic impact on an image – they’re also really helpful in leading the eye of people through an image. We’ve talked about using lines in composition numerous times in the past – check out these articles before you go shooting:

    • Using Horizontal Lines in Photography
    • Using Vertical Lines in Photography
    • Using Diagonal Lines in Photography
    • How to Use Converging Lines to Enhance Your Photography

    Once you’ve taken your ‘Lines’ image upload it to your favourite photo sharing site and either share a link to it or – embed it in the comments using the our new tool to do so.

    If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSLINES to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.

  • 2013 GPP Shootout Challenge: Photograph Greg Heisler

    The Gulf Photo Plus 2013 Shootout just concluded, and boy was it a doozy.

    The challenge: make a portrait of Greg Freakin’ Heisler, soup to nuts, in front of 350 people in 20 mins flat. No pressure there.

    Major props to John Keatley, who managed to not crack under the pressure and actually make a portrait of Heisler that was consistent with the slightly off-center Keatley style.

    Completely seriously, I want a 16×20 of this for the Strobist Cave.

    And here’s the thing: Keatley didn’t even win it. This year’s winner was Zack Arias, who suffice to say has a brass pair for what he did. You’ll definitely want to watch the video when it comes out.

    Whatever you have to do to get to Dubai for GPP, make it happen.

  • Nature: Weekly Photography Challenge

    ? The Drongo Love ? Happy Valentine's Day ?

    Earlier today we published the first of two posts in a series on Wildlife photography so thought this week we might give you an opportunity to practice the tips in it by making our challenge on the topic of ‘Nature’.

    It is a little broader than ‘wildlife’ because not every dPS reader is in a position to photograph animals in the coming week but if you’re able to we’d love to see what you can do.

    Feel free to photograph any aspect of nature you like. It could be some macro photography of flowers or insects in your back yard, you might want to get out to the beach and do some seascapes or shoot a sunset, you might find yourself drawn to the countryside for some landscapes or you might head to the zoo for some zoo photography!

    It is totally up to you.

    Once you’ve created your Nature upload it to your favourite photo sharing site and either share a link to it or – embed it in the comments using the our new tool to do so.

    If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSNATURE to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
