For this Creative Challenge, you don’t need to travel far from home to feel photographically inspired. Take a walk in your local park and you’ll find a treasure trove of interesting subjects and vistas to capture. Seek out creative perspectives to capture that lone park bench, beds of vibrant flowers, waterfalls, a hungry squirrel, beautiful birds, playground equipment, fountains, architectural landmarks, and beautiful sculptures. Pay special attention to the use of depth of field to enhance the focus of your subject. For example, for a sculpture you may wish to use a low aperture setting (f/2.8 – f/5.6) to blur out the background. For a lakeside vista, a higher aperture setting (f/16 – f/32) would be more appropriate and generally make everything from near to far sharp.
Due to the July 4th holiday, the Creative Challenge submission period will be extended one day (Entries must be in by Noon (EST) Tuesday July 5th).
