#52WeekChallenge:
Please send your submissions for each week to rlduffill@gmail.com, including the week number and titles.
Filters: This is filter week. Whether it’s a coloured sweet wrapper over your lens, a big stopper or something else – use a new or borrowed filter to create an effect.
Advanced: Should be a filter you have not used or seldom use.
Atmosphere: Whatever the weather, record its drama, mood and effects this week.
Advanced: As an enthusiast, shoot your photo at dawn or dusk.
A stratled portrait! Take a portrait shot that captures an expression of alarm, surprise or concern in the subject. This challenge should bring out the Director in you.
Advanced: Include a wider-angle shot that shows the cause.
Wheels: Whatever the vehicle or subject, capture the patterns and motions. Use different shutter speeds to blur or freeze the action.
Advanced: Look for something different…
Cool Down! A glass. Ice. A drink. Create an image that will cool us down on a hot summer’s day!
Advanced: Ice, creating a splash or a drink being poured into a glass, offers such artistic scope. Explore and enjoy!
Street Photography. Show us a slice of life in a neighbourhood, village, town or city centre. The subject need not be aware that you are taking their photo!
Advanced: Candid means candid – try not to get noticed!
A Bug’s Life: Get in the garden and take a photograph of a butterfly, insect or bug. Whether you show its environment is up to you.
Advanced: Try a Macro, or a moving/flying subject.
Explosion of Colour: Your photo should assail the senses with vibrant colour. Any saturation of the colours in editing software should be avoided.
Advanced: This is really advanced… depict a really colourful scene… in black & white!
Halfway Journey: It’s Week 26, which means we’re halfway through this challenge year. Make an image with text that shows us what you feel you have learned about photography so far this year.
Make a Splash: Take a close-up of a droplet splashing into water. It’s an old favourite photography project, but there is a lot to learn every time you do it. Advanced: Use a liquid other than water.
RANDOM BIRD: Your challenge this week is to get a good picture of the first wild bird you see while out with your camera. See a wood pigeon? That’s your bird – plan, prepare and go get the shot!
Advanced: Your bird should be the first one you see in flight.
Sugar & Spice: Artistic. Interpret how you like.
Advanced: A still life.
