Weekly Photography Challenge – Window Views

18 Apr

The post Weekly Photography Challenge – Window Views appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Caz Nowaczyk.

Since we are all stuck indoors, this week’s photography challenge topic is the WINDOW VIEWS!

You might want to do a full interior scene with the view as a partial element, or you may like to shoot with the window itself in the frame. Alternatively, you may just want to do a photo of your view from an open window, with no hint of the window in sight.

If you choose to do the full interior with the window view, you may need to play with bracketing your exposures and HDR in editing to get an even exposure for the interior and the view.

So, check out these pics to give you some ideas, have fun, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Check out some of the articles below that give you tips on this week’s challenge.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Living Room

11 Apr

The post Weekly Photography Challenge – Living Room appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Caz Nowaczyk.

Continuing with the indoors theme, this week’s photography challenge topic is the LIVING ROOM!

You could photograph objects in your living room. Create a still life from them, do interesting things with lamplight or reflections on your TV screen (if you have one). Photograph people sitting in your living room – your pet on your favorite couch (come on, I know many of you let your pets on the furniture!)

Do macro, wide, or do a series that includes all of them to tell a story. They can be color or black and white, moody or bright.

Try creating a series that work together too, if you like.

So, check out these pics to give you some ideas, have fun, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

The post Weekly Photography Challenge – Kitchen appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Caz Nowaczyk.

Since we are all stuck indoors, this week’s photography challenge topic is the KITCHEN!

That’s right! Get creative and take some shots of your kitchen. You can use flash or ambient light. Do close-ups of your cutlery draw, tea and coffee canisters, or food in your pantry. Take photos of food preparation and cooking. Photograph the results! Do wide-angle shots of the entire scene too. Blur them out, use intentional camera movement, or whatever you like!

Try creating a series that work together too, if you like.

So, check out these pics to give you some ideas, have fun, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
