Current Challenge: Fleeting Moments

Life is full of moments that pass in the blink of an eye - light filtering through leaves, a candid glance, or a bird just about to take flight. For this challenge, try to capture something temporary, fragile, or in transition. What does impermanence look like through your lens?

Focus on emotion, timing, and the beauty of the brief. Whether it's movement such as waves crashing, light flickering through leaves, or mood - show us a moment that almost got away.

• Qualities of Light are THE thing with will make or break an image more than anything else. I demonstrated using appropriate qualities of light combined with careful composition at the start of the Timeworn live stream.
• Be Patient, stay still and observe in places likely to provide fleeting moments
• Anticipate, Don’t Just React. Train yourself to see it before it happens. Whether it’s a bird about to take flight or a shift in someone’s expression, developing an instinct for timing allows you to press the shutter just before the moment peaks - not after.
• Pre-focus and Pre-compose. If you expect action in a particular spot - like a person walking into a beam of light, focus there and compose your frame in advance. This lets you capture the moment cleanly, with no delay from auto focus hunting or frantic framing.
• Use Burst Mode Thoughtfully. While spray-and-pray shooting isn’t always ideal, a short burst at just the right moment can make all the difference.

Have fun with this one. It's an excellent workout for your observational skills and concentration.
