It is the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere which signifies it is officially Spring! Whilst Spring is obviously associated with new vegetation, flowers and color, with nesting birds and other delights from nature, it also symbolizes change and new beginnings.
So your Week 12 Spring challenge is to try something new!
It might be as simple as taking a different route to work, or different streets to the shops and taking some different photos en-route; it could be going somewhere completely new and different! Try something new with your camera, a different technique perhaps or use a feature on it you have not used before. Think out of the box – as you raise the camera or phone to your eye – think how can I do this differently?
If you’re normally a sunset photographer, try street photography and vice-versa. If you seek crystal sharp images, try a bit of abstract or creative blur! If you take photos of other people mostly, try selfies or static objects. Because you will be trying something new, don’t worry about how good your images are – the purpose is to enjoy the challenge!
Your personal photo challenge this week is to find something new or try something new! Discover new ways to enjoy your photography!
Post your photos on social media and explain why they are new to you!
As ever, these challenges are to encourage new photography, so we ask you not to simply re-use your existing stock.
For this week’s challenge, I wanted to use the colors of subjects I found as my “paint” and use intentional camera movement as my “brush strokes”. I am very happy with how it came out! For a more detailed description, check out my blog post!
