Week 283: 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.

Last week’s winner

Last week’s theme was Signs of Summer– and our favourite image this week is:

This week’s winner is this image, captured by Flynn Thaitanunde-Lobb: ‘A bunch of buttercup reaching for the sunlight.’

This wonderful image captures the true magic and essence of the summer season. Featuring a summery subject that although common, is framed, composed and lit beautifully to allow a new appreciation of it. The warm tones throughout the scene help to draw us straight into the warmth of the season. Well done, and thank you to all who entered!
