This challenge is a simple exercise to motivate members to pick up your camera and share your experiences with other members. It’s an activity to challenge yourself; it’s not a competition.

If you stick to this challenge through the end, you will undoubtedly be a far better photographer than when you started. Are you ready to become a better photographer? Let’s get started!

The practice of botanical photography can take many forms. Whether captured out in the field in broad daylight or in a studio under artificial light, the aim is to provide a realistic representation of the plant in its truest form, to best highlight its unique and identifying characteristics.

In botanical photography, you rarely want to have a lot of empty space in your frame. More empty space means more opportunities for distraction, for confusion, and for loss of impact. So instead of leaving space around the plant, move in closer to fill the frame as much as you can. Have fun with this week's topic and share 3 or 4 images here.

We will have a review session on Tuesday December 10th - be sure to join us to share your results. At this review, we would like to hear why you captured an image, the story being told, what you were trying to show, whether you succeeded, etc.

Consider joining the "photo discussions" group for a full critique, which includes honest and helpful comments of your images by more experienced members.

Thank you for your kind participation and support.
