January Challenge
Posted by: ozlady in January Challenge, Challenge, Techniques, PhotographyI have been following Brian on Epic Edits and Trevor on TrevorCarpenter.com as they have pursued the December Challenge of taking a portrait photograph a day. There have been some great results.
I have been inspired to challenge my own photography, so for January I am going to take a photo a day of Urban Landscapes.
For information on what defines an urban landscape, I think that the urban landscape photography site has it pretty well summed up, and as seems to be appropriate, some bookmarks on taking better urban landscape photos include:
Just some other options that I think I can explore as part of this project:
- Taking photos in black and white or sepia
- Looking for abstract architecture
- Looking to tell a story behind the landscape
If anyone knows some good links, or wish to provide their own suggestions about how best to explore this through photography, then please post in the comments.

Oooh, urban! Sounds like fun! After the portrait challenge, I think I’m going to focus on street photography for a while. Not as a formal challenge, but I’m going to try doing more of it.

I’m so glad to have contributed to your creative motivation. It’s quite exciting to find a fun way to grow and learn. I know I’ve learned a ton about my own photography and have been proud of my portrait work.
Way to go starting your own personal challenge. Many of us photographers can’t afford to go to a traditional photography school. Nor can we even afford the time to attend a workshop here and there. So, making commitments to be disciplined in our shooting is one of way to help us grow. Opening up for outside critique is yet another way to expand on that work.
Good job.
