DAWN: Weekly Photography Challenge
Earlier today we posted 24 Beautiful Dawn Images – with the hope of giving you a little inspiration to set those alarm clocks a little earlier this week and to get out at – or before – sunrise to take some dawn images of your own.
So let’s make ‘Dawn’ the theme for this weeks photography challenge.
One morning this week – try to get out a little early and see what you can come up with!
Once you’ve selected the ‘Dawn’ image that you’d like to share – upload it to your favourite photo sharing site or blog and either share a link to it or – embed them in the comments using the our new tool to do so.
If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSDAWN to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
Also – don’t forget to check out some of the great shots posted in last weeks challenge – Abandoned challenge where there were some great shots submitted.
