Today’s challenge: Triumph usually denotes drama, no matter whether it’s big or small. Playing with contrast is a great way to enhance a photo for a more dramatic effect. Pump up the contrast in today’s snapshot.
Today’s challenge: show us your double take!
What I found after developing the photo ….
Today, show us an edge — a straight line, a narrow ridge, a precipice. Holland at its best!
ISO 100, 50 mm, f/8,0, 1/250 sec.
Today’s challenge: Experimenting with glass can create multi-layered and unpredictable shots. Incorporate a form of glass — a window, a mirror, a wine glass, sunglasses, or something else — in today’s image.

The small building was first constructed as a garage for a big American car, owned by the first inhabitant of the penthouse on the top (fifth) floor of the Nirwana apartment building, constructed between 1926 and 1929. It then became a gas station and now it is a beauty salon.
Today, take a picture of a landscape. Focus on the gestalt — the entire setting as a whole, rather than a specific subject or focal point within the scene. The setting itself is the star.
Think about the fleeting moments you experience each day — from a moment with your child to a commute through the subway among strangers. What moment will you share with us?
Today’s Tip: Movement is a great way to convey time and fleetingness. Play with motion and achieve varied results by turning your flash off. Or using a tripod to keep your camera steady. Or panning your camera across your scene while following a moving subject.

Today’s challenge message:
Capture the natural world: snap a moment outside, big or small. From a close-up of a leaf in your backyard to a panorama from your morning hike, we invite you to document this wondrous world around us.
Tip: While shooting outdoors, look for natural lines that lead your eyes to different parts of the frame. Study the bend of a stream, or the curve of a petal. How can you use these lines in your composition?
ISO 200, 27 mm, f/14, 1/170 sec
Today, play with scale: use anything and everything — from your Chihuahua to your Mini Cooper — to convey size in your image.
ISO 200, 27 mm, f/14, 1/180 sec
Today, share an image that creates a sense of mystery. A lone mitten on the sidewalk. A trail leading off into the distance. A creaky door, left open. Intrigue us.

Having signed up for this WordPress challenge, I was sent the instruction:
For your first shooting challenge, capture an image of warmth, using the sun as your source. If the sun is nowhere to be found today, not to worry — interpret warmth in your own way.
A little bit of sunlight was caught on these sunflowers, during an otherwise rainy day.
