We’re happy to announce the winner of November’s competition, “The Power Of Scale.” Tersha posted a photo that is a partial silhouette and one that is a great example of scale in photography. The image has a unique type of visual weight where the person is facing the right part of the frame, but feels balanced by the structure. Also, one can notice the feeling of “alone” in the photo and the composition emphasizes the emotion.
Have you ever noticed that folks who are talented at photography can generally get a great shot with almost any piece of gear? The truth about how to take better photos with any camera is that it is actually very rarely, if ever, about the gear you are carrying. It has a lot more to do with your personal skills as a photographer.
We have put together a selection of photography tips, ideas, and tactics that will lead you towards better outcomes for your own photography.
For October’s contest, participants came up with their creative interpretation of the theme where a lot of natural subjects were photographed in an abstract way, while some members also used camera techniques or unusual perspectives to capture abstract photos. Each photo was unique and stood out in its own way, portraying interesting abstract realities.
Jean T has wonderfully captured the beauty of the Autumn leaves over the tree’s roots. Congratulations Jean T on the win!
Participants of September’s contest cleverly submitted their interpretations of the theme that included moments from nature, moments in public and private places, their own candid moments and so on. The photos were all meaningful, portraying an interesting story.
When choosing the winning photos, we wanted to make sure that the decision process was based on a good interpretation of the theme, followed by other factors like light, composition, story, details, creative vision, etc.
