Weekly Photography Assignment: Summer Nature

Home » Announcements » Assignments » Weekly Photography Assignment: Summer Nature

Each week we’ll be giving you a theme that you can submit a photo for, and we’ll choose our favourite to be featured on the Nature TTL website. Participating in these assignments will be a great way for you to encourage yourself to push the boundaries of your photography and improve together as a community on the website.

Week 235: Summer Nature

Our theme this week is Summer Nature, and we’d love to see what creative images you can take of nature inspired by the summer season! Summer is a wonderful time of year for nature photography. The birds are singing, insects are out, and mammals can be seen at all times of day and night. But even if it’s not the summer season in your neck of the woods, this week we’d like you to create images inspired by summer. Perhaps there is a certain species or landscape that reminds you of the warmer months. Try to tell a story in your images! Whether you’re a seasoned nature photographer, or are new to the genre, the options for awesome summer nature photographs are endless, and we can’t wait to see what inspiring images you can create.

Last week’s winner

Last week’s theme was Bird Behaviour – and our favourite image this week is:

This week’s winner is this image, captured by Olena Pfister: This is a brilliant capture of bird behaviour in a photograph. A story is being told here, and the use of soft lighting highlights the scene and adds a gentleness to the mood of the image. The depth of field allows us to focus on the main characters in this moment too, and the framing, with the blue water behind, sets the location beautifully. Well done, and thank you to all who entered!
