Powerlines are everywhere (well at least here in Australia they are!). Capture them close up or as part of a wider scene. Capture them against a fabulous sunrise or sunset, as a silhouette, or whatever you like. You get the idea!
Play with post-processing too, if you like.
The choice is yours! I look forward to seeing what you share

This week’s weekly photography challenge – BOATS!
Boats on Merimbula Lake at sunset by Caz Nowaczyk
It can be boats, kayaks, or stand-up paddleboards. Capture them on lakes or out at sea, at sunrise or sunset or in the middle of the day. They can be close-ups of things on a boat, or the boats can be part of a large vista. They can be color or black and white. They can be taken with your good camera or your smartphone (as mine are).
Play with post-processing too, if you like.

If you are still stuck indoors, photograph from your windows, or step out into the garden (if you are lucky enough to have one). Alternatively, go back through your archives and do some brand new edits on your photos, like false-color infrared or black and white.
Use backlight, sunsets, sunrises, intentional camera movement or close-ups of foliage.

Window light is the way that the sunlight comes through a window or glass door and creates interesting light-play on walls, floors and other surfaces. It creates shadows, it can sometimes create colors. Anyway, get your cameras out and capture the way the light falls through your windows.
You can also play with them in post-processing if you like – make them black and white, or boost contrast. The possibilities are endless.

The post Weekly Photography Challenge – ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Caz Nowaczyk.
Since many of us are still limited to where we can go, this week’s photography challenge topic is the ICM (intentional camera movement)!
I focused the camera then as I pressed the shutter button, moved the camera following the direction of the grass blades. f/16, ISO 100, 1/15th sec.
This is a fun exercise you can try inside your home or out in your yard (if you are lucky enough to have one). If you live in an apartment in the city, you may want to try capturing the night city lights with ICM instead.
You’ll want to use a relatively slow shutter speed – something slower than around 1/15th of a sec. Then you will want to physically move the camera in the direction you want as soon as you hit the shutter button.
Check out some of the articles below that give you tips on this week’s challenge.
