Weekly Assignment
We took a look at a lighting topic this week with Natural Light Portraits. This assignment may have been difficult for some, but much easier for others since no artificial light was allowed, not even for fill light. We had some really outstanding entries this week, but we were able to pick a few [...]

This week we finished the Shallow Depth of Field assignment. There were a huge number of entries to go through this week, but there were a few that really stood out. Everyone agreed that withlime’s Sandy Hand was a clear winner this week. The narrow depth of field captured enough detail, including the frozen [...]

We have quite a few bright photographers who participated in the Vivid assignment. There were some really excellent photos that captured the essence of colour and vividness. The bright paper curls by duna. This shot had lots of bright colours, lovely curves, and it kept your eye moving around the image while the shallow [...]

This week we finished the Portrait of a Person Assignment. Once again we had an incredibly difficult time picking our favourites, and the comment was even made: “how about a really boring subject sometime soon, just to give us a break” because when we have an assignment where there are so many really high [...]
Before we get in to this week’s forum update, first, let me extend a huge congrats to one of our mods, JiminyClickit who was the first person in the forums to reach a huge 10,000 posts! Thanks for everything JiminyClickit!

Our winner was Chip’s “Running in Step” shot because we could almost feel the rhythm of the shot. Steph’s shot of sculpture in a [...]

This week we balanced out our basic assignments with our Balance assignment. There were a lot of different ways that our forum members showed us balance, and there were a lot of good entries to choose from. This week’s winner was earthmamaphotography’s picture of two boys in a window. Not only did the boys [...]

Last week we started our “Back to Basics” theme with an assignment on the Rule of Thirds. This is a compositional rule which suggests that photos are more effective if the subjects are placed on one of the lines which would divide the frame into 9 equal parts. Well, we had some great pictures [...]
Weekly Assignment
Baby it’s Cold outside… well, for some of our forum members it is at least. And in case you couldn’t tell, we finished the Cold assignment this week too. Let’s put it this way, there was no second guessing that our winners were indeed cold! Our winner this week was canadajan for her picture [...]
Weekly Assignment
Would you believe that the Negative Space in a photo can be just as powerful (and sometimes more so) than the subject? Well, last week that’s exactly what our goal was. While sometimes silence can speak volumes, negative space can show volumes. We had a very clear winner this week too. Nathan deGargoyle gave [...]
