Ten feet

Thanks to Jay for suggesting this week’s challenge: Ten Feet.

You must take a picture encompassing precisely ten feet. The entire width or height (or both) of your image must in some way encompass exactly ten feet. You may not crop your image, so be prepared to accept the aspect ratio your camera gives [...]

The past – results

A warm welcome to Alex this week. We hope you’ll continue to contribute to the Photo Challenge!

Well done to everyone who sent a photo in. There weren’t many entries but the standard is excellent once again.

Keep it up!

The past

Your Challenge this week is to capture the past.

Take a photo that has a connection with the past. It could be something that reawakens a memory for you, or invites you to reminisce. It could be an old item, or an ancient place. Perhaps a person.

The past is all around us is [...]

Whose hand? – Results

Despite the potentially misleading title, this Challenge wasn’t a mystery guessing game. Well done to Andy for “guessing” that it was my hand depicted on my blog earlier this week!

However, for those interested in not-quite-photography-related banter, how many of the hands pictured here belong to people who are right or left handed?

Some figures

It’s now been near enough 7 months since I took over the reins of the Challenge from Stu. In this time, 28 Challenges have been set (and 27 have been completed – still time to get your entry in for Whose Hand?).

So how have we been doing? According to the magic graph, we’ve [...]

Whose hand?

It’s simple – just take a picture of your hand.

See how interesting you can make it. Think about light and shadow, the shape, and what your hand might be doing.

Imaginary bonus points for interesting pictures!

Please send [...]

Product shot

Your Challenge this week, as suggested by both Stu and Paul in the past, is to take a product shot.

Imagine you are taking a photo that could be used on packaging, on a large poster or a sample on a website. Pick a product from around your home (or buy something!) and take [...]

Documentary journalism - Results

Your Challenge this week was to be a journalist – to record something that was happening around you. Let’s see how you all did!

My moment of history is annoyingly blurred, but still, you get the picture (pun actually not intended). We had our final final on Thursday, and [...]

Documentary journalism

The title of this Challenge may sound a little scary, but don’t worry. You can interpret it as recording things that are happening.

Photographs are a relatively recent invention that have allowed people to record history in a different way, compared with the available technology in centuries past. At the touch of a button, [...]
