Current Challenge: See It Differently

This challenge is all about breaking habits. We all tend to photograph things the way we usually see them - but this time, I want you to step away from that and look again.

Find a fresh way to capture something familiar by changing your angle, composition, or use of light. Shoot from high above or ground level, get in close or step far back, use reflections, shadows, silhouettes, or even shoot through objects. Try unusual focal lengths, embrace negative space, or deliberately simplify the scene.

The aim isn’t just to fulfil the brief, it’s to create an image you’re genuinely proud of, something that shows thought care and technical skills to the best of your ability.

Tips:

• Change Your Position: Don’t just stand and shoot - move. Crouch, climb, step sideways. A small shift in position can completely transform a scene.
• Look for the Unseen: Details, reflections, textures, and shadows often go unnoticed. Train your eye to spot what others might miss.
• Take Your Time: Explore the scene, try variations, refine your composition. The extra few minutes often make the difference between a good shot and a great one.
• Use appropriate light. This will have the biggest impact on how eye catching your image will be. See the light on the London Eye image opposite which is only a small part of the whole. It highlights the subject and subtly tells the viewer where to look despite there being only one subject in the image.
