Our second Photo Weekend of the 2012 season is in the books! Instructors Tim Cooper and Tony Rizzuto took Charleston, SC by storm and from the feedback we’ve received, it sounds like everyone in attendance had a blast. Here are the results from the assignment given at the Charleston Weekend. We’d like to thank the [...]
At our first Photo Weekend of the 2012 season, we gave everyone in attendance a little parting gift. Well … that is if you consider homework a gift. We asked that anyone who was interested submit a photo inspired by a course they took during the Weekend event. So, if they loved the HDR and [...]
We can tell when we have a winner of an assignment usually by the volume of submissions we receive in response. December’s assignment, Patterns, is a great example. Since identifying and interpreting patterns in the human brain is as creative a process as taking a photograph, the result of the work submitted is a broad, [...]
Now who doesn’t love animals?! You don’t, you say? Then why not go shoot some. This may seem like an antagonistic way to introduce an assignment, but please “bear” with us. Okay, so you have a camera and you don’t hate animals. Let’s see what you can do about capturing them…live. The assignment for January [...]
For many people in the United States, the primary goal this week is to make it through a few days of work so the Thanksgiving festivities can begin.

This month’s assignment involves this bittersweet time of year when summer comes to a close and the kids head “Back to School.” This may seem like more of a documentary assignment, but not necessarily. How would you depict the activity of getting the kids prepared and ready to dive right back into their learning environments? [...]
This month’s assignment asked the photographer to depict reflections – or the act of reflecting – with their images. It seems this assignment really struck a chord with our creative readers. Since the word itself can mean many things, our readers interpreted its meaning in many interesting ways. So much so, this assignment broke a [...]
The summer is a perfect time to practice using the “Sunny 16″ method of exposure. Sunny 16 is a way to determine the exposure of a scene without a meter. Seem difficult? It’s really not. Neil Chaput de Saintonge’s recent articles on Sunny 16 are chock full of great information that simplifies this technique and [...]
Barry Grivett is a regular contributor to our monthly assignments. His images are usually accompanied by a note about the assignment and his experience through the process. My favorite notes from Barry are the ones regarding an assignment which he admits is outside his normal realm of photography, but feels invigorated by the challenge it [...]
