Whether it’s spring where you live or fall, it’s always a good time for a picnic! And what better way to cap it off than by taking some photos as well for this week’s photography challenge.

Think of all the things you could photograph at a picnic like:

The food (get some tips on that here)
People enjoying themselves
The table and surrounding scenery
Ants if they show up to the party (get out your macro lens!)
Patterns
Abstracts

The sky is the limit – oh wait, you could photograph that too!

It must be nice enough in your area to get out shooting again – so this week’s photography challenge is to go and photograph spring. What does it mean to you?

Spring is a good time to try a new technique or practice something you want to perfect or improve. Here are a few spring photography ideas to get you started:

Tips for Taking Better Flower Photos

Intentional Blur- How to Create it and Why it’s Awesome
Tips for Better Forest Photography

Weekly Photography Challenge – Panning

21 Apr

Panning is a great way to add a feeling of motion and movement to your images. It works well with street photography to isolate your subject and add a little drama.

Need more help? Read these dPS articles:

Showing Speed: Using Panning When Shooting Action
How to Have Fun with Shutter Speed and Added Motion Blur

Weekly Photography Challenge – Panning

Here the subject and background were both frozen using a faster shutter speed.

In this image, a slower shutter speed like 1/30th was used to blur the background, while keeping the car sharp. This is called panning. You use a slower shutter speed and move your camera to match the speed of the subject to achieve this kind of image.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Birds

24 Mar

Our fine feathered friends, the birds, make great photography subjects. They can be challenging to photograph though, hence why this week’s photography challenge is – you guessed it – birds!

If you struggle to capture images of the fast ones in mid-air, try to find a bird closer to the ground like this peacock I found at the Auckland zoo strutting his stuff. Chickens, emus, and penguins are all a bit slower and easier to photograph – although you may not have any penguins in your area.
