Monthly Photo Challenges and Live Feedback

Photo creative challenges are projects for you to practise your photography, creative skills and gain experience. The Photo Creative Facebook group has a lively, supportive community of over 4,000 photographers of all skill levels. 

Current Challenge: The Elements

Here are some ideas ...

• Air: Capture the movement of wind through trees or the delicate flight of birds against the sky.
• Water: Photograph cascading waterfalls, clouds reflected in calm waters or crashing ocean waves.
• Fire: A crackling bonfire - or the vibrant glow of molten lava (if you have a volcano handy...)
• Light: Showcase the interplay of sunlight and shadows, creating dramatic contrasts and enhancing depth.
• Geology: Capture the intricate patterns of rock formations, ancient cliffs, or the raw beauty of geological landscapes.

Use light, composition and camera skills to make your chosen element the stand out subject. For example, this approaching storm on a Lanzarote workshop utilises composition to capture the elemental aspect. The storm is the dominant feature, not the landscape. 

Have fun ...
