Portrait of Two People: Weekly Photography Challenge
This week your photographic challenge is to take and share a portrait of two people.
This is a followup to our recent post – how to take creative couples portraits – although you’re more than welcome to share two people that are not a ‘couple’ as such if you wish.
It could be a couple but it could also be two siblings, a parent and child, two workmates, two strangers… whatever you like.
You’re welcome to take a posed portrait or something less formal or even a candid one. Really it’s up to you!
Once you’ve taken and selected the ‘ZOOM’ 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 our embed tool to do so.
If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSCOUPLE 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 – Zoom challenge where there were some great shots submitted.

This is one of my favorites from a Marine’s homecoming. The look on his wife’s face is priceless! (For the safety of the family, his name has been removed from his uniform.)

This is from last month’s trip to Sri Lanka. A brother and sister who were waiting for their
parents to come out of the lake.
This is also from the trip.
This one is of two schoolboys having fun after school this past week.
First submissions. I hope they get up OK.

I shot this photo using my EF 70-300 Canon lens, using my Canon EOS 30D. I converted it to black and white to bring out more detail in the photo and make it stand out better. I shot this of an impromptu proposal at the Botanica Gardens here in Wichita, KS. It is actually my favorite photo I have taken so far. Thank you all for looking!

I took these 3 photo’s at The Botanical Gardens here in Wichita, KS. I was hired last minute to do an impromptu proposal. I took these from pretty far away, I used my canon EOS 30D Camera, with my EF 70-300 lens. By far, being an amatuer, these are my favorite photographs I have taken so far. I am really proud of how they came out. I did change the tone to sepia in photoshop because it really made the images look great, and was so much better than in color, it gives it more meaning and passion in my opinion. I hope you enjoy! I couldn’t pick the best of the 3 images, so I posted all 3 links to them here. Would love to have some feedback if anyone get’s a chance!

This one was taken long, long time ago, and with my first digital camera; not only poor quality but I also see a LOT of the things I didn’t know about the photography then – but it is by far one of my personal favourite photographs of the two of them:
