Challenge: Glass

This week’s challenge is called glass. Your photo should involve some glass in one sense or another.

Glass is an interesting subject, because it is reflective and transparent, and can it also be coloured or curved. All of these properties can be used to create unusual effects with light.

For some inspiration, here are [...]

I will publish new Challenges on it, so if you are a Twitter user, feel free to follow the Photo Challenge for updates that way.

Challenge: A thousand words

Thanks to Stu for providing this week’s Challenge.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Are yours? Think how much story can be told in a thousand words, and then try to convey that story in a single photo. Of course, you don’t have to explicitly state your story – you can leave the [...]

Entries in by noon on Tuesday 19th [...]

Banner images

Some came with the website template, and I added a few of my own. It seems only right that everyone’s pictures should be used on a collaborative photography website, and the New Year is an ideal time for new [...]

Challenge: Watch This Space

It’s a guest Challenge this week – thanks to Nigel for suggesting this one. Here’s what he wrote:

I thought this could be interpreted as a desolate landscape, an indication of something missing, living space or even outer space: stars etc.

Of course, you are welcome (and encouraged!) to come up [...]

Results: Your Christmas

Welcome back to the Photo Challenge after a break for Christmas and New Year.

The last Challenge set in December was to take a picture that represents what you did in your Christmas break. There was a good turnout this week, with eight nine entries. Here’s what we received:
