Cutlery, typically metallic and therefore reflective, is not the easiest subject to light, however despite the challenge there were some great results from members!

Photography Challenge – Week 10 – Self Portrait

Some members may have found this challenge the most difficult yet, since as photographers usually we are more comfortable behind the camera, rather than in front. Nevertheless, this challenge provided an important learning experience!

Photography Challenge – Week 11 – Kids / Family

The test for members in this weekly challenge was more than photographic, since working with restless children and impatient family members can come with its own challenges. Nevertheless this week we received some brilliant entries!

Photography Challenge – Week 12 – Light Painting

Key to this week’s challenge was an understanding of flash duration and the ability to apply this technique to any subject of your choice, whether it be architecture at night, models in the studio or even product photography.

Photography Challenge – Week 13 – Cosmetics

Depth of field, backgrounds and composition were among the key factors photographers had to consider to execute their images of close up cosmetics for this week's challenge.

Photography Challenge – Week 14 – Motion Blur

This week's challenge will test your understanding of shutter speed, as well as the relationship between shutter speed, aperture and flash. These are key concepts to understand, and this challenge is the perfect way to test your knowledge!
