This is not a competition rather an opportunity to learn a bit about an area of photography or try a different type of photography. The photo selected each week can be picked because it's technically excellent or equally because it's unusual, funny, creative or thought-provoking.
To enter your shots just upload from your Flickr page to the OffShoot Flickr page before 7 PM the following Friday. Please title your shot with the theme of the week + your own title.
Wishing you an enjoyable and educational 2022 from the Flickr theme pickers.
For those who may not have engaged with this yet here's how it works. Each week a theme/topic is set.
During the week you shoot or process an image in that theme. and load it on the Flickr site. One image will be selected as the "theme pic of the week" and published in the following week's newsletter.
Why bother? The theme pic gives you an opportunity to explore and try out many different styles and types of photography. It increases the variety of images on our site and is an excellent opportunity to expand your creativity and photography skills and you get your picture in the weekly newsletter!
This week's theme is The Blue Hour
The Blue Hour happens when the sun’s elevation is between -4 degrees and -6 degrees, just below the horizon line either before sunrise or just after sunset. So, this week that’s between 7:15 and 8:15 in the morning and between 5 and 6 in the evening. It gets a little earlier each morning and a little later each evening as the year progresses. It is a time of day which gives unusual light to your outdoor photographs. Give it a try and if you give an extra half hour you might get also get some good sunrise or sunset shots.
