Weekly Assignment This week’s assignment over in the forums focused on Horizons. We saw all kinds of horizons this week, but a few stood out. In particular we were looking for shots where the horizon was the main subject. There were a number of lovely landscapes that had a horizon, but the focus was really [...]
Weekly Assignment This week we asked you to put away your usual camera (unless your cell phone is your usual camera), for our Cameraphone Shots assignment.

We had a tie this week for first place between Obijuan and cristen. Obijuan [...]

Weekly Assignment For those in the northern hemisphere, it’s mid-summer, and Leisure seems to be on everyone’s mind. So, as we bring our Leisure assignment to a close, we picked out three photos that we thought really exemplified leisure. Our winner this week was bigrobo89‘s “Tumble Dryer” a.k.a. wet dog. No matter who you are, [...]
Weekly Assignment We finished up our Cinematic Widescreen assignment this week and there were some really creative entries. But there were some really stand out entries as well. Our winner this week was debsij‘s Silence of the Lambs shot. This one really stood out because it was clear exactly what movie was being referenced. It [...]
Weekly Assignment We finished up the Independence assignment this week over in the forums. We saw a lot of different ways to interpret independence, and because of the holidays, we also saw a lot of fireworks shots this week. However, the shots that really stood out to our judges were ones that evoked a feeling [...]
