Weekly Photography Challenge – The Dinner Table

Photos of food, when done well, serve to make the viewer hungry or at the very least make the food in the photo look appetizing. Often food is photographed right at the table.

Weekly Photography Challenge – The Dinner Table

Your goal for the photography challenge this week is to photograph some food. It could be your meal, or like this image of mine I shared previously, someone else’s that looked appealing.

This is actually my photo taken of someone else’s sandwich in Trinidad, Cuba. It just looked so amazing!

Interpret the theme – the dinner table – however you want. It could be even just the table and place setting, maybe a candle or two, or an entire spread of food. Include people eating and enjoying the food, or for scale and perspective. Get close up on one item, or shoot the whole plate. The choice is yours.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Time

Time – it just keeps on ticking and there’s nothing we can do about it.

Except maybe try and capture the concept of time in an image – like these images I shared earlier.

By Niko Knigge

The hands of time can be taken quite literally, as in the image above – or more figuratively such as the images below:

Weekly Photography Challenge – Time

As always we have a weekly challenge and this week it all about time. Finding time, time warp, hands of time – however you want to interpret it is up to you. Take it literally and photograph a time piece like an interesting watch or clock, or perhaps a sundial like above. Or get more out there and think about time as in long exposures, star trails, car light trails, a moment frozen in time, etc.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Warm Fuzzies
Earlier today I shared a collection of images that represent cuddly.

A good hug, a snuggly puppy or kitten, a father with his newborn son – all things that give us warm fuzzies inside.

By Wei-Hang Chua

Weekly photography challenge – warm fuzzies

So your challenge this week is, you guessed it, photograph something that either is warm and fuzzy, or gives you that feeling. So that could be many different things:
- Your bedroom slippers
- A favorite sweater
- A pet
- Parent and baby
- Kids hugging
- Someone doing a good deed
You get the idea.

- Jewelry
- The sun
Your job this week is to photograph something shiny, and make it stand out. Make sure it glistens and sparkles in your image. Lighting is key.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Big and Heavy
Previously I shared 26 solid images of heavy items done by other photographers. Things like:
- trains
- planes
- automobiles
- machines
- large animals
- things made of steel and metal
- heavy metal bands if you want to stretch the meaning
You get the idea. We know this thing is heavy! On the arms and the pocketbook!

By Nathan Rupert

Weekly Photography Challenge – Heavy

I’ve given you some ideas below but put your own spin on interpreting this one. It could even be heavy hearted, a footprint impression in the sand, you name it. Just go out with the idea of finding something to represents the them of heavy and photograph it in its best light, composition, and make it stand out.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Lightweight

Each week we try and come up with something interesting and different for the weekly photography challenge here on dPS. The images I shared earlier of: 25 Floaty Images of Lightweight Objects might give you a hint! If you haven’t already seen them, take a look.

By U.S. Army

Weekly Photography Challenge – Lightweight

You could take the term literally, like the image above of lightweight boxers, or figuratively – the choice is yours. Get creative. What things around your own home could be considered lightweight? Something soft and fluffy like a kitten, a tissue, or a feather – or perhaps something even lighter like puffy clouds on a nice day, or marshmallows.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Panoramic Photos
Panoramic or ultra wide views of scenes are popular and work well for many different subjects.

By David Yu

Weekly Photography Challenge – Panoramic Photos

If you have never done a panoramic photo now it your chance to try it. The simplest way to create one is to just crop a regular image into one that is really long and narrow. Make sure the subject fits the format and you aren’t cutting off anything important to the composition.

The other, more complex way to make a pano is to shoot a series of images and stitch them together, usually using Photoshop. We have a few articles here on dPS on how to do that if you need some tips:
- How to do Landscape Panoramic Photography
- How to Shoot Panoramic Photos
- Getting Started in Panoramic Photography (beginner)
- Step By Step How to Make Panoramic HDR Images (advanced)

Weekly Photography Challenge – Holiday Lights
By Tracy Sigler

Photography of lights at night can be fun. There are many things you do and techniques to enhance photos of lights:
- Shoot at an aperture of f/11 or smaller to make star points on the light sources
- Use long exposures to shoot light trails
- Use a zoom technique to create a unique effect
- Or just shoot them straight up at night
Weekly Photography Challenge – Holiday Lights

Your job this week is to photograph some lights. If there are no decorations near where you live try some car trails, or street lights. Just try some shooting in the dark, or a new technique you haven’t tried before.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Snow White

Check out these images of snow I rounded up earlier today.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Snow White

This week your challenge is to go photograph something snow white – so what that means is that if you do not live in a place where it snows you can still shoot based on the theme white. Try doing a white subject on a white background, something high-key.

Weekly Photography Challenge – Kids
Kids! Gotta love them. I don’t have any myself but I enjoy being around them, and taking in their energy and freedom they exhibit. They say what’s on their mind and aren’t afraid of what other people think when they dance, sing, do art, etc. We adults can learn a lot from them.

By Jessica Lucia

Weekly Photography Challenge – Kids

So how can we capture the essence of what being a kid is all about in our photographs? These recent dPS articles may help you:
- 5 Tips for Photographing Your Own Children Stress-Free
- Tried and Tested Tips for Photographing Kids
- 4 Tips for Connecting and Photographing Kids More Naturally
- 10 Tips for Taking Stunning Winter Portraits of Your Kids
Now go photograph some kids. Your own, or borrow the neighbor’s kids.

Note: be very conscious of photographing kids in a public place, especially if you are male. It could be seen as creepy and you could get in big trouble. Make sure you have a parent’s approval first if you do so.
