Weekly Photography Challenge – Laughter

09 Jul

Real, natural emotions captured with a camera can be challenging like getting photos of real laughter.

How to approach people photography is up to you. There are two basic approaches:

  1. The sneak attack with a long lens where the subject is unaware of being photographed
  2. The direct approach where the subject is engaged with you and the camera

Weekly Photography Challenge – Laughter

How you decide to approach it is up to you. Do you prefer to be inconspicuous and wait for the right moment, observing people from afar. Or do you like to be part of the action, maybe even take part in or help cause the laughter.

Do you find, like I do, that children are quicker to laugh than adults? Perhaps because they have less inhibitions? Or maybe they’re just sillier?

Either way – go take some photos of people laughing, and have some fun yourself!

Weekly Photography Challenge – Bridges

25 Jun

Bridge the gap – see how these photographers photographed some pretty unique bridges.

Peter McConnochie

By Peter McConnochie

Weekly Photography Challenge – Bridges

There are two most obvious ways to photograph a bridge – from the side, or on it – as you can see by the two different angles of the Tower Bridge in London below. That’s a couple ideas for you. They both also use some long exposure photography, and have photographed the bridge at night or blue hour.

How about getting under the bridge like this examples – never know what you’ll find under there, maybe a troll?!

Weekly Photography Challenge – Glass

11 Jun

How do you photograph something that is transparent or see through, like glass? See how these photographers did it with 28 images of glass subjects, then see if that gives you some ideas for this week’s challenge.

Designmilk

By designmilk

Weekly Photography Challenge – Glass

This should be easy enough to find subjects for this week’s challenge – glass – the tricky part is how to photograph it. Glass reflects everything including the light source and even yourself. So how you approach this will be up to you. Shoot a crystal glass in the studio, photograph an old weathered window pane, work with the reflections and go with them for effect, or shoot through glass. Get creative.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Minimalism

04 Jun

It is often said in photography that less is more, but what does that mean? Going minimalist, putting less “stuff” in your images can often help to make them more powerful. The subject becomes more obvious to the viewer, the image is less cluttered and clean, and it has more visual appeal.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Minimalism

This week it’s your challenge to photograph less!

Find a subject that you can photograph simply. Make it as clean as possible so focus is on the subject and nothing else. If you have more than one thing in your photo it’s too many – get closer, or find another subject and practice shooting with minimalism.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Spiral Staircases

In this week’s challenge we’re going to concentrate on the latter, specifically spiral staircases.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Reflections

Reflections can be made by anything that is smooth and glasslike: water, glass, windows, a puddle, plastic, etc. Look for unlikely sources and different camera angles, make your own puddles – get creative. Wander around your area and look for things that reflect.

But – remember to still keep in mind all the things that make a good photo:

  • Good composition
  • Good light
  • A clear subject
