Week 312: Sky

This week, we want to you take photographs of the sky! Let’s take a look at how you can capture this expansive element of nature with your camera. Perhaps you will photograph a sunset or sunrise, or look to capture the drama of an encroaching storm. Maybe you will use a long lens to focus on a fraction of the sky, or take a wide angle view to capture a wider scene. You might even decide to photograph the sky at night, and use long exposure techniques to capture the movement of the stars! Whether you’re a seasoned nature photographer, or are new to the genre, the options for capturing new and interesting photos of the sky are endless, and we can’t wait to see what inspiring shots you can create.

Here are some tutorials to help you:

Last week’s winner

Last week’s theme was Back and White – and our favourite image this week is:

This week’s winner is this image, captured by Zoltan Dobany: ‘There are many old, fallen tree trunks in the Salt Lake Forest. Countless fungi live on the rotting trunks. In winter, these are the most spectacular fungi.’

This stunning black and white image features a striking use of contrast, and considerate use of light and shadow to best show off the fascinating subject at hand. Well done, and thank you to all who entered!
