Week 266: Details

Our theme this week is Details, and we’d love to see how you can photograph the smaller details found in nature. You can use a macro lens if you chose, or simply tune your eye in to looking for the tiny things in nature that catch your eye. Perhaps you will photograph the veins in a leaf, or the bark of a tree. Maybe you will find dewdrops on a flower, or look for tiny insects hidden in your garden. Perhaps you will focus in on the specific details of your favrouite wildlife, and photograph a single feather, or an eye, or a foot. Whether you’re a seasoned nature photographer, or are new to the genre, the options for capturing new and interesting photos of details in nature are endless, and we can’t wait to see what inspiring shots you can create.

Here are some tutorials to help you:

Last week’s winner

Last week’s theme was Trees – and our favourite image this week is:

This week’s winner is this image, captured by Flynn Thaitanunde-Lobb: ‘I tried practicing taking trees from the ground angle up into the sky. The tree was leafless and knarly, which gave it a “spooky” feeling, with tree trunks branching out like fingers.’

This is fascinating and engaging image, taken from a new perspective of a familiar subject. It has showcased the brief in a new and exciting way! The leading lines draw our eye across the frame, and the depth of field gives us plenty to focus on throughout the frame. Well done, and thank you to all who entered!
