Weekly Photography Assignment: Birds

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 241: Birds Our theme this week We, and we’d love to see what weather-inspired nature images you can take! What is the weather like in your area? Have a think this week on how you might be able to capture it with your camera. If it’s raining, maybe you’ll have a go at long exposure techniches to capture movement. If you’re experiencing warmer weather, or even a drought, what details can you capture that might showcase these things? See how photographing at different times of day affects the kinds of images you are able to capture. Whether you’re a seasoned nature photographer, or are new to the genre, the options for weather photographs are endless, and we can’t wait to see what inspiring images you can create.

The mirrored composition is aligned beautifully with both butterflies in focus and the darkened background allows us to focus on the bright colours of the subjects in question and frames the scene.
