Weekly Assignment The middle of the day is usually considered one of the worst times of the day to try to take pictures because of the light. Which is why this week’s challenge was to take some Mid-Day Portraits. Let me say, seeing some of the entries in this assignment, the people who say you [...]
Weekly Assignment We wanted you to look at things a little differently, and to do that, our assignment was on Low Angles. Getting down close to the ground can give a different perspective to your photo. It might make the subject look more powerful or even more whimsical. Overall, changing your perspective from the usual [...]
Weekly Assignment This week was we finished up the first of a series of more composition-based assignments with our Dutch Angle Assignment. Dutch angles, also called “Batman Angles” by some, are where the horizon is set at an angle, usually to create a sense of tension or dizziness. Our winner this week really captured that [...]
Weekly Assignment This week we took the time to photograph the memorials of those that have gone before us in our Cemeteries assignment. Cemeteries can be peaceful, creepy, and even famous. They may be famous for the people buried within them or for things that have taken place there. But the interesting thing is that [...]
Weekly Assignment We spiced things up around the forums with our latest assignment, Spice. There were many different ways that spices were used and there were a lot of very creative entries.

Weekly Assignment Things slowed down a little this week with our Still Life Assignment. We wanted you to create a scene and photograph it. The goal was to think of every little detail that you wanted in or out of the shot and focus more on making the shot before taking it. Our winners this [...]
Weekly Assignment It was all fun and games over in the forum this week when we worked on the Toys assignment. We wanted you to show us your toys, whether they were new or old, in a scene you designed, or being played with by kids. We had quite the mix of shots this week, [...]
Weekly Assignment As the month of April finished, we also finished our series of black and white assignments with Film Noir. Film noir is typically associated with movies like The Maltese Falcon, or more recently, Sin City, and tends to feature low key black and white. This was one of our more difficult assignments, but [...]
