Pics in the Parks: Winter Challenge 2 - Contrast

Our weekly photography clinic has weekly challenges to help you hone and improve your photography skills.

Theme:

Contrast

Goals:

Your goal this week is to take a picture where something stands out.

Tips:

  • Look for bright colors or humor - things that stick out and call for your attention. Snowy landscapes can be singular in color, gray, and lifeless.

    • Use color - search for animals that catch your eye. Or use a dark colored object in relation to the snow.

      • Pay attention to shadows - shadows on a sunny day snow will seem to be the opposite color of direct sunlight.

      Challenge:

      This week’s challenge is to show contrast in your photos and make something pop

      Submit your photo to be included in our digital photo gallery by emailing Parks@Boston.Gov. Submissions may be used for future Boston Parks and Recreation Department marketing purposes.
