Congratulations to member bfryxell on winning the Landmark Interiors: People’s Choice Photo of the Day! Your photo will be featured on the homepage tomorrow!
Make sure to get your entries in for the next Creative Challenge: Glass! You have until next Monday, January 16th to get in your submissions!
Photo walks, a popular activity among photo-sharing communities, let us all be a part of something no matter where we are in the world. By taking a walk this weekend and sharing the pictures with us, you’re contributing to a global mural of life.
So put on your walking shoes, grab your camera and go for a walk. You’ll be surprised at the photographic opportunities that present themselves. We’d love to see all of your photos as you can submit as many as you like!
Please tag your photos with Weekend Photo Walk 215 and then post your links in the comment section. Your entries won’t be judged—this is just for the fun of it!
Glass is a fascinating and beautiful material to photograph for the many ways that the material can be formed and how light can accentuate its beauty. There’s no limit to creativity for this challenge. Beauty can be found in household paperweights, vases, bottles, light bulbs, drinking glasses as well as stained glass and sculptures (like the one above from Dale Chihuly). We encourage you to photograph the glass in a manner that doesn’t simply document the item, but to explore a different vantage point and compositions of the subject to make your photo unique. Perhaps try macro settings and play with the sense of scale. Have fun with different light sources to illuminate your subject.
Don’t forget to vote your choice for the people’s choice POTD for the landmark interiors challenge. Voting ends on January 9th at 9:00 am (EST)
