This week’s challenge is nighttime photography. The exact choice of subject is up to you, as long as it was taken at night.
There are lots of fun, creative options for nighttime photographs: Stars, buildings, lights, or city skylines are always great options. Or, if you’re feeling more adventuresome, you can try taking a long exposure shot. This allows for several fun, creative options, such as light painting, moving car lights, star trails, or making nighttime look like day (as with the pier example, below).
As always, creative or out of the box ideas are welcomed and encouraged 🙂
The Challenge
- Take a nighttime photograph. The choice of subject is completely up to you.
- Post your photo during the week of Sunday, June 9 and Saturday, June 15.
- Please remember to comment on at least FIVE photo submissions this week by answering the question “why?” in your comments. In other words, “why do I like (or not like) this photo?” or “why did this photo catch my eye?” Thank you!
The friendly community guidelines are pretty simple:
- Take a new photo for the current weekly theme, not something from your back catalog or someone else’s image.
- Post your photo each week to our active communities on Facebook or Flickr (or both). Tag the photo: #2019photochallenge #photochallenge #tempusaura
- Don’t leave home without your camera. Participating in the 2019 Trevor Carpenter Photo Challenge is fun and easy.
Really enjoyed this challenge. I have only been in the group for a couple of weeks on Facebook. There doesn’t seem to be any winners picked. Is that right or am I just missing them? It is cool if not as that is probably why people are so supportive and chatty in the group. It’s less like a competition where people might not want to like competing photos.
Sorry for the delay in responding. You understand correctly – we do not pick winners. This is a challenge, not a competition, and we want to encourage and inspire participants to get out with their cameras and try new things. It is hard to take creative risks when one is worried about being judged. 🙂
Thanks for explaining. I wasn’t interested this week in the Harris Shutter Effect but when I tried it, it was fun. Looking forward to the next challenge.
