This week’s theme gave Challengers a chance to just get out and shoot and to worry less about the theme as the prompt for Week 20 was Random. Some choose random things, others random moments which was what Beth Pack chose to do in her image below. I love this image because even though it’s a seemingly random shot of her son and husband, it tells the viewer so much about life at this particular moment in time.
Camera settings:
Lens used: 28mm
Shutter Speed: 1/60
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 400

This week’s photo is an image submitted by Denise Asbury for week 13’s theme: Delicate
Image Stats: ISO 125
Shutter Speed: 1/4000
Aperture f/4.5
I decided to feature this image this week as I think it demonstrates how we don’t necessarily need to be surrounded by complete beauty to take a beautiful photo.

For this week’s theme I thought we were about to be inundated with sports shots and although this week’s image is absolutely of a sport I consider this more of an abstract shot.
Shutter Speed: 1/10
Aperture: f/3.5
ISO: 80

This week’s theme was Unlucky and I had a hard time picking an image to critique as there were so many awesome ones in the group.
Shutter Speed: 1/125
Aperture: f/4
ISO: 400
I love this particular shot of Wendy Dunne’s as it reminds me of my childhood and the game we used to play when walking home from school – trying to avoid stepping on the cracks in the footpath.

This week’s theme was a nice easy one! Angles are everywhere – as soon as you start to look for them.
Shutter Speed: 1/125
Aperture: f/4.0
ISO: 100
I chose the above picture to critique by Julio Rivera as I felt he did a great job capturing angles and used editing to his advantage to do so by changing his image to black and white.
