The theme for June is now closed
The theme for July is ‘Shadows’
The last few Monthly Themes may not have been challenging enough for our members so this month’s theme of ‘Shadows’ gives you the opportunity to be more creative and let your imagination run riot. Photography is often defined as painting with light, but it’s the shadows that are so important. The give the object its form and depth. They create texture and contrast. They can be the main subject themselves. If you can’t get out you can also create your own shadows in a still life setup at home. If you use your own lights you’ll have full control over the length and shape of the shadows. This theme will help you look and find images more making you more observant. Shadows can also make excellent lead-in lines for a photograph or frame the main subject.
I’ve found some excellent examples at iphotography to inspire you here.
The ‘My Modern Met’ website give some excellent advice here.
To make it easier just resize your photograph as you would for a PDI competition. That is size it to fit in a 1600x1200px frame them it will neatly fit into the post. You have to type in some text first or the picture will fail to upload. Then click on the BROWSE button below to search your device for the picture. You can upload up to 4 images at a time. When you’ve finished uploading and adding your text press the SUBMIT button. See the illustration below for advice.
There’s no restriction on when the photograph was taken so search though your archives show us what you can produce. If you would like to suggest any topics for the monthly theme please let me know. Thank you to everyone who contributed to last months’ theme.
