Weekly Photography Challenge – Water
If you haven’t participated in the weekly themed challenge before, using the excuse, “I don’t live near that” – you can’t use that reason this time. You can literally find some water anywhere you live. Turn on the tap, find a river or stream, or even a fountain in the middle of your city will work. But do take on this challenge and go photography some water. Here are some ideas:
- Ocean
- Lake
- Pond
- Swimming pool
- Puddle
- Tap water
- Dew on a flower or spider web
- A glass of water
- Running water like a river or stream
- A waterfall
- Even ice is water
- A fountain
- A splash
- Water drops in mid-air
Get creative!

What’s missing? Ming Thein on the state of mirrorless
Commercial Photographer and camera blogger Ming Thein has shot with almost as many mirrorless cameras as we have, and has put together a list of all the things they get wrong or, at least, all the things he thinks they should all do. It’s a fairly comprehensive list that we very much agree with. Thein echoes a lot of our own concerns about camera handling, behavior and operation, as he works through camera design point-by-point.

Drawing with Wire: Scribbled Sculptures Make Sketches 3D
[ By Steph in Art & Sculpture & Craft. ]
Scribbled sketches seem to leap off the page and hover in mid-air, filling out in three dimensions, in this impressive series of sculptures made from bent wire. Artist David Oliveira captures the essence of his subjects, whether they’re people or mountain lions, by studying their anatomy and translating their sense of vitality and movement into minimalist life-sized forms.
Oliveira sees his works as existing on some other plane, like an abstracted echo of the physical bodies that exist in our reality. Twisting, looping and curving black wires, he sketches in air, and the resulting sculptures look as if they’ve been peeled off a piece of paper, enlarged and skewed like skeletons that were hidden inside each subject all along.
As viewers, we look at these gestural impressions of living creatures and our minds fill in the blanks, suggesting to us what the real-life subjects must have looked like, how they must have moved. The sculptures are particularly effective when they’re hung from the ceiling in transparent thread, seeming to float.
