Weekly Assignment It leaves us sad to know that the Leaves assignment is over. But we were very happy with some of the lovely pictures that came out of it. Our winner this week was KodiakStar‘s Leaves You Can Eat. The vibrant, primary colours along with the different look at the subject made it really [...]
Weekly Assignment The fun and creativity was bubbling over with this week’s assignment, Bubbles. We had a lot of good entries to choose from, and a lot of different types of bubbles were shared. Our favourite was dblaveino‘s popped bubblegum shot for its colours, sense of humour and story which really made it stand out. [...]
Weekly Assignment We finished the Texture this week, and boy did we get a feel for things. dblaveino‘s shot of the red door really stood out to all of us. The vivid colours, and strong textures that seem like you could just reach out and touch them made it a clear winner this week. But [...]

We liked the creativity not only [...]

Weekly Assignment And The Eyes Have It in this week’s assignment. You got up close and personal and showed us what eyes can do for a picture. And there were a lot of really great entries to choose from this week! As a matter of fact, we wound up with a 4 way tie among [...]
Weekly Assignment This week we finished the Affirmative assignment where the goal was to show us affirmation or approval of something. Affirmation was shown in a lot of different ways, but we managed to pick our favourite three.

Weekly Assignment This week’s assignment was Auto-Mode, and the goal of the assignment was to “forget” about using manual for a few shots and show us something that you took in auto mode that still blows us away. The shots that we saw this week really did show that it’s not always mandatory to set [...]
