Website links

On the right hand side of this website, there are a number of links to various people’s personal websites, blogs and photo galleries. The list is a bit out of date. People come and go – some people have links there who no longer take part, and other people who are now active participants [...]

Leap!

You can interpret it any way you want – either relating to leap years, leaping in the air or something else entirely. Surprise us!

If you like, send in a few words to go with your [...]

Running away from the camera

Thanks to Paul for suggesting this week’s Challenge.

We’ve done this one before (I think back when Stu was running it), but it was a lot of fun and might be worth revisiting.

There are no restrictions on what you can shoot, so long as it contains water in some form – including liquid water, steam, and ice.

I’m hoping to see a torrent of entries this week – please send yours in by noon on Tuesday [...]

What does it mean to be a photographer? – Results

This week I’ve continued using the new gallery layout, after an overwhelming majority in favour of the new format. If only all decisions were that easy!

As the photographs were quite conceptual this week, I think a few words of explanation are helpful. Most people included a note with their email or comment, so [...]

What does it mean to be a photographer?

This week, your Challenge is somewhat more conceptual. The word “photographer” means different things to different people.

To other people, “photographer” simply means a person who is using a camera of any [...]

Pink – Results

Well done to everyone who sent in a pink photo. I think we’ve got some really unusual and interesting pictures this week.

This week I’ve tried something a little different with the layout of the results. Rather than having medium-sized pictures in a column, we’ve got smaller pictures in a grid. As before, [...]
