Weekly Photography Challenge – Frozen

29 Jan

The first thing I want you to do to get ready this week is to have a look at these 24 Frozen Images to get you ready for a spine-chilling challenge!

Weekly Photography Challenge – Frozen

If you live in a northern part of the globe this should be easy for you. Find something frozen, just look around for:

  • Icicles
  • Snow
  • Frost
  • Snowflakes if you want to go ultra macro!

By wiredforlego

By LASZLO ILYES

By Susanne Nilsson

Even if you do not live in the northern parts of the world you can participate in this challenge. Think outside the box what else is frozen? How about:

  • Ice cubes
  • Popsicles
  • Ice skating rink
  • Ice cream!

You could even freeze something inside an ice cube and photograph that! How about a flower or slice of cucumber? Get inventive.

Weekly Photography Challenge – New Beginning

11 Jan

As the first photography challenge of 2017, I thought it would be fitting if we go with a theme for new beginnings. Like these 19 images show – there are many ways to interpret that theme.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Fishing

24 Dec

Fishing and fishermen can be a fascinating subject for photographers. You can see that for yourself in these images we shared earlier. Here are a few more of my images of the fishing village in Nicaragua:

fishermen-darlene-nicaragua-05

The combination of the fish tails, pineapple, and a bottle of Coke caught my eye. With a bustle of activity on the beach behind it.

fishermen-darlene-nicaragua-04

These ladies were negotiating, a serious business.

fishermen-darlene-nicaragua-03

Happy with her purchase. Dinner tonight.

fishermen-darlene-nicaragua-02

This lady was a stern business woman. The men were not messing with her. It was all “yes maam, yes maam”

fishermen-darlene-nicaragua-01

A young helper. The family members come to help bring the haul in and get a few fish in exchange for their labor.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Fishing

This week we want to see images of fishing. Either people or animals in the act of actually catching fish or the equipment that we humans use such as nets, poles, boats, etc. to catch them.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Minimalism

06 Dec

Viewing some images that are good examples for minimalism is the first step. Then it’s your turn.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Minimalism

This one should be fairly simple (pun intended). Find something and shoot it in the most minimalistic way possible. Put less into your image. Get closer and crop tight. Another way to think about it is to simplify. Like these:

Kim Seng

A_Peach

Andy Smith

Put on a long lens, use a wide aperture, maybe even try a close-up or macro lens. Watch the edges of your image. Remove anything that doesn’t add to the photo. Keep it simple.

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 favorite photo-sharing site and leave the link to them.
