Photo challenge :: Get Close
Our first photo challenge of the weekend comes from the very image in the background of the crop logo — these pebbles at Brighton Beach!
Your challenge is to take and post a close up photograph! Easy enough, right? The entire shot can be a close up, or like the beach, it can be part of the framing of the full image.
 |
You can photograph whatever you would like, but the image needs to be snapped between now and Monday — this weekend’s challenges are not for older images already in your photo library.
Post your image on Flickr, on your blog or in another online photo gallery. Leave a link to it in the comments on this post to be entered. One winner will be randomly chosen to win Picture Perfect a photography e-book from Ella Publishing. It’s a great resource for taking great photos of your family and friends. Please see this post for all the deadlines and details about this weekend. Now go grab your camera! |
