Your Favorite Subject: Weekend Photography Challenge
This week your photographic challenge is to photograph your ‘favorite subject’ and share the image with us.
Most photographers that I talk to have a subject that they just keep coming back to – whether it be a person, a landscape location, pet or some other kind of subject matter (I have one friend who just loves to photograph shoes and another who likes taking photos of himself jumping on beds…. yep…. beds).
So this weekend you’re invited to go back to that subject that you just can’t stop taking photos of and take one more!
Once you’ve taken your best “Favorite Subject” image, upload it to your favourite photo sharing site and either share a link to it below or embed it in the comments using the our new tool to do so. Please note it sometimes takes us a while to approve comments with images as there’s a moderation queue – particularly over the weekend.
If you tag your photo on Flickr, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag it as #DPSFAVORITE to help others find it. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
PS: don’t forget to check out some of the great photos shared last week in the ‘Imperfection’ challenge.

Justice and yumminess together

got down on my belly, pointed my point & shoot (canon powershot), and fired away.
pretty sure it was in aperture priority, but not positive. tossed the pic into aperture, did some very mild tweaking (increased contrast, mild sharpening) and decided it liked it better in black and white (even though she’s a chocolate lab)
exif: 200, 5mm, f/4

I love the moon. I’m hoping to gather pictures of it during every % phase possible. I create a collage of several pictures I took. I started about 2 months ago when I got a lens that can capture the detail in the moon.
@Ted, I love your picture. Your dog is adorable, and that is a great shot.

This is definitely my favorite place to photograph. It´s a small town near where I live and it´s now “World Heritage”. It´s the fourth oldest city in Brazil and its buildings and churches are just spectacular.
You may find more images at my flickr page.

I’ve been shooting the same two deep purple calla lilies all week that a friend gave me. So after I read the challenge, I took them out one more time to see if I could find a different way to look at them.

Mine is definitely my older son, he loves being photographed and will even follow instructions for posing (sometimes!). The younger one is at that stage where he is constantly moving and virtually impossible to get a photo of, at least not without some food of some sort to keep him still for more than a millisecond!

As a knitting designer, that is one of my favorite subjects to photograph. It can present quite the challenge sometimes. While I need to shoot to show off the whole design, I like the arty shots that highlight one aspect of the design. Thankfully, they make great “teaser” shots to pique people’s interest before the pattern is released. These are a couple of my favs from a recent shoot. The first one I’ve done with my 50 mm prime lens.
