Week 279: Water
Our theme this week is Water, and we’d love to see how you can capture water in nature on camera. Water of course can be found in so many different forms in nature. Perhaps you will photograph a local body of water; a lake, or river or stream. You may want to try long exposure techniques to capture the movement of this water, or have a go at using reflections to enhance your water images. Water comes in more obscure forms too – for example, try looking for dew drops on the plants in your garden, or capturing raindrops, or even frozen water in the form of ice or snow if this is your current local climate. Whether you’re a seasoned nature photographer, or are new to the genre, the options for capturing new and interesting photos of nature details 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 Mammals – and our favourite image this week is:
This week’s winner is this image, captured by Flynn Thaitanunde-Lobb of a ‘fox sitting in the field in the early evening.’
This is a charming mammal portrait, and a beautiful capture of a beloved and charismatic species. The use of evening light is flattering to both the subject and its surroundings, and the depth of field allows our eye to focus on the fox and its thoughtful expression. Well done, and thank you to all who entered!
