Winner: Une Table, Une Chair
Jeustin

Tables and Chairs Challenge finished on Monday, 02 Feb 2009 The title says it all - go out and take pictures of tables and chairs. It's a subject in abundance all around you, and equally easy to shoot indoors or outdoors and all seasons round. So look for a new perspective, or try to tell a story - use your imagination and come up with something a bit different.

Winner: Fading
AJHopp

Fruit Shoot Challenge finished on Sunday, 01 Feb 2009 This challenge is to elevate a fruit from being just another snacking option to the centerpiece of a photograph. Whether you place a single fruit or a whole bowlful is up to you. Lighting and setup should bring out the feel of a Portrait and not that of a Stock image.

Winner: Waiting for my Best Friend
MKDJr

Someone or something, somewhere, is waiting Challenge finished on Saturday, 31 Jan 2009 Waiting for the bus, waiting for inspiration, waiting to be used or just waiting for something better to come along. Who (or what) is waiting, why and what for is up to you, but your photo has to convey a clear sense that your subject is in some way incomplete. Oh, and no borders!

Winner: Blue Venice
Antonio Caggese

Shooting the Blues Challenge finished on Wednesday, 28 Jan 2009 This challenge is all about colour, more specifically one colour only. We want to see pictures in which the only strong colour is blue. Aside from that, anything goes - just try to be a bit more creative than pictures of the sky. However as with many of our recent challenges, entries must be taken during the submissions period - we want the challenge to inspire you to pick up your camera and start shooting, rather than leafing through your old shots on your computer. So get out there and start thinking about light, texture, composition and form... and blue.

Winner: tree in fog
aizoo

A cold feeling Challenge finished on Tuesday, 27 Jan 2009 With the recent blast of cold weather here in England and most of Europe, it would be interesting to go out and take photos of the weather. Show views images that invoke the cold. This might be pictures of snow or rain, or maybe just people with colds, rugged up and looking miserable.


	No entries

Self Portrait Challenge finished on Friday, 23 Jan 2009 Get creative with the one portrait subject that's always available: your own good self. To make things more interesting you must take the shot during the submission period, so no rifling through your archives on this one! Try to come up with an image that tells us something about you.

Winner: Lake Champlain NY.
aroche

Retro/Vintage Challenge finished on Thursday, 22 Jan 2009 This is a very broad one; interpret it as you want: the subject, the treatment or the style must say 'retro' or 'vintage', but that's the only rule. Any era, any subject, any camera. You can use as much post processing as you like but be aware that images may well be disqualified on the grounds of taste ;)

Winner: Watching the World Go By
yirmon

Blurry taxis Challenge finished on Wednesday, 21 Jan 2009 We don't care if it is a NYC yellow cab, a London black cab or a Havanna Coco Taxi as long as it's a taxi and there is blur in the image. Use these slow shutter speeds, create some motion blur and make this taxi look really fast.

Winner: Rolling fun
mariuss

Panning Challenge finished on Tuesday, 20 Jan 2009 No, it's not an invitation for you to critically savage one another, but some encouragement to practise your technique. As winter draws in (for some of us), and the light gets worse, panning lets you use low ISOs and still get a good picture - it should also level the playing field for compact camera owners. So get out there and shoot something fast (or make it look fast).

Winner: Pillars of lights
Earthlight

Skyscapes Challenge finished on Thursday, 15 Jan 2009 The higher level version of landscapes. This is about huge, dramatic skies, or small delicate cloud formations. You can put small strip of land or sea at the bottom of the picture, but the primary subject must be the sky. And to level the playing field for compact users, we're limiting the focal lengths allowable; nothing wider than 28mm or longer than 105mm (35mm equivalent).
