Monthly Challenges

Yup, it’s that time of the month again; time to vote for your favourite image submitted for the Monthly Flickr Photography Challenge held in association with Tyson Robichaud! (Time really does fly!) The theme for the month of December was GADGETS, as chosen by last month’s winner Angga Santoso.

Of all the themes this year, I feel that this was one of the most challenging. Gadgets play such an intricate part in our day to day lives that it is often difficult to imagine them as the star player in an artistic composition. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by many of the submissions!

Have you ever set yourself a specific project or challenge to improve your photography? If not, let me tell you that not only is it an excellent way of developing a specific skill, but it also encourages you to learn about a genre in which you may have had very little interest.

Since we as artists all enjoy exercising our creative abilities and sharing our imagery with a wider audience, Mathieu and I at Mirrorlessons in association with Tyson Robichaud Photography Blog have decided to embark on a monthly Flickr photography challenge, and we invite all of you to join us for the ride!

Yup, it’s that time of the month again; time to vote for your favourite image submitted for the Monthly Flickr Photography Challenge held in association with Tyson Robichaud! (Time really does fly!) The theme for the month of November was MINIMALISM, as chosen by last month’s winner Sami Paju.

I was incredibly pleased to see that this theme, challenging as it may be, received over 40 submissions, with people who have never participated taking part. Many of the images dealt with nature, whereas others played with architecture, irregular forms, and solitary objects.

Yup, it’s that time of the month again; time to vote for your favourite image submitted for the Monthly Flickr Photography Challenge held in association with Tyson Robichaud! (Time really does fly!) The theme for the month of October was STREET PHOTOGRAPHY, as chosen by last month’s winner Giovanni Tabbò.

As we imagined, this theme was very popular amongst our readers with over 50 submissions. This is because street photography is a genre anyone can become involved in–all you have to do is step out your front door and search for interesting scenes, people, shadows and light. However, while street photography is very accessible, it is far from easy. It takes years of practice, confidence with people and a discerning eye to master the art.
