Lens Artists Challenge #365 – Longing
This week’s Lens Artists Challenge comes to us from Egidio, who sets the challenge theme: Longing. Egidio suggests a Portuguese word as a kind of synonym for “longing”: saudade.

Lens Artists Challenge #364 – Quiet Moments
Ritva’s challenge this week is “Quiet Moments.” We all need moments of quiet reflection, meditation. For me, this always means nature. As in the above featured image.

Lens Artists Challenge #362 – Sports and Sporting Events
This week’s Lens Artists Challenge comes from Beth at Wandering Dawgs. It’s a good one, but alas, for me, a double or triple challenge – I have no sporting events to show. This surprised me, since I’m a huge sports fan, but after trolling through all my libraries I could find little. Then I hit…

Lens Artists Challenge #354 – Reflections
Anne, at Slow Shutter Speed, has provided us with a nice challenge this week, full of possibilities: Reflections. I love reflections. I like playing with reflections, in photography and life. Reflecting surfaces like mirrors can reflect reality back to us, but they can also distort reality, warping our sense of what we see, what is…

Lens Artists Challenge #348 – Serenity
This week’s Lens Artists Challenge from Egidio asks us to find serenity in our pictures. Serenity can help us cope with life’s challenges and enhance our overall quality of life.

Lens Artists Challenge #347 – Break the Rules!
This is Ritva’s week to set the Lens Artists challenge, and it’s a tough one. I’ve been tempted to sit this one out. I try to think about the “rules” – particularly regarding composition – everytime I shoot. If I get an image with something I like but not quite “right,” I try fix it.…

Lens-Artists Challenge #346 – Cinematic
This week’s Lens Artists Challenge is presented by Sofia, and it’s a fantastic one: Cinematic. As a passionate film buff, I frequently find myself thinking about my images in cinematic terms. Since I rarely include people in my photographs, I concentrate heavily on lighting, composition, and the feelings the image elicits to produce photographs that…
