Long
exposure
Shoot an exposure of
any subject with a shutter
speed of at least 1 secondt can be a great
technical
challenge to
shoot using a
long exposure
time. Not only do you need to
think about how your subject
is going to look in a blurred
form, but the use of a long
exposure gives you the chance
to create something unique
and surreal. Moving water
during a long exposure timebecomes an effective silky
smooth area; people moving
during a long exposure leave
a ghostly trail; and trees
swaying in the wind
create a soft fan shape.
There are many approaches
you can take to this challenge
and to make sure you stand
out to us at the judging stage
we’ll be looking for a creative
approach. So get out the
tripods, filters and remoteshutter releases (or use the
self-timer if you don’t have
a shutter release) and get
shooting your long exposure!
Our only rule for this
photography shooting
challenge is that you must use
a shutter speed setting of one
second or longer – any entry
that does not meet this criteria
will be eliminated from the
judging. But the subject
is up to you. Good luck!I

Urban
Landscape
Challenge
winner is...
Gregor Morrison
We loved this gritty black-and-white
approach to our Urban Landscape
brief. Gregor has made excellent use of
geometric shapes in a strong composition,
and the heavy contrast in the processing
technique further adds to this aspect.
There is an element of excitement and
danger when viewing the image, like
we are not supposed to be there... Gregor^MorrisonCharlie^ MarshallHow to enter
