street lines – photographer: alexander h. schulz

Our new Photo Challenge sets a focus on any kind of lines, single or multiple in a photo, vertical or horizontal, curvy or straight.

Sometimes we meet such situations by chance or we look for them intentionally: the straight horizon over the sea, the curvy, hilly landscapes of Tuscany, buildings or any other structures offer great opportunities to create an eye-catching photo.

Grab your camera and watch for lines around you!

Send in your picture of any lines captured.

Our new Photo Challenge sets a focus on reflections.

Sometimes we meet situations by chance or we look for them intentionally: reflections.

Objects might be reflected in the still water of a lake, a puddle or by windows.

Reflections can add a special, eye-catching effect to the photo, making it more unique.

Revive your creativity and add some reflections to your next photos!

Send in your picture of any reflection captured.

a candle for the ones that have left us – photographer: Roger Hallman

Our new Photo Challenge sets a focus on moments determined by special light.

“May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.” 

(J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring)

“How far that little candle throws his beams!”

(Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice)

Light is always important to us. It brightens our mood, it helps plants to grow and it colors our world. Just imagine a world without light, a world determined by darkness! Its scary, isn`t it?

Our eyes catch the light as well as our camera lenses.

Let us focus on everything that has to do with these special moments of lights. It may be a sunrise, sunset or stars in the sky, a candle in a room, an object in spotlight or a bonfire that gives warmth. Grab your camera and catch your special moment of light!

Send in your picture of any moment that depicts light.
