The theme for our October 2020 photo quest is “Spooky“. Just like in September, there will be no example photo and no hints on how to potentially interpret the theme – we do not want to prime or influence anyone’s creative mind and vision but… come on, “spooky?” How hard can it be to come up with a photo for that theme, in October?! 😅 We’re expecting lots of submissions, people!
The theme for our September 2020 Photo Quest was “Glass” and in this gallery you can see our member’s submissions and how they interpreted the theme. Thanks to everyone who took part in this month’s quest!

The theme for our September 2020 photo quest is “Glass“. Unlike previous quests, we’re skipping the example photo and any hints on how to potentially interpret the theme – we do not want to prime or influence anyone’s creative mind and vision. Think about “glass”, and how to represent it, photographically, creatively, artistically, with the camera – and then go out and make photos!
The theme for our August 2020 photo quest was “Freeze!” and below, you find the gallery with submissions from our members. The idea was to make a photo that freezes motion visibly and/or capture a fleeting moment that we wouldn’t be able to see without the aid of the camera, thus allowing us to appreciate details in a way that wouldn’t be possible without “freezing” that moment. Thanks to everyone who took part and interpreted the theme creatively!
