Snow Photo Challenge

By

Last week, we issued a D.C. area Snow Photo Challenge and you delivered. There were many great photos tagged with #snowexposed in our Flickr pool, but there can only be one winner. Congratulations to Victoria Pickering for her winning photograph, Snow in the Capital. Pickering will be taking home a pair of tickets to the opening of our Exposed DC Photography Show on March 19 at Long View Gallery. Thanks to everyone who entered!

It’s a popular adage that “bad weather makes great photos,” and we could not agree more. This snow day is the perfect time to launch a D.C. area Snow Photo Challenge. Submit your best snow photograph to our Flickr pool with the tag #snowexposed by Monday and you could win a free pair of tickets to our Exposed DC Photography Show opening on March 19 at Long View Gallery. We’ll pick one photo as our winner and feature a few more of our favorite photos here on the blog. Snow photos can be from this storm, or any other snowfall through last winter.

So break out your cold weather gear and line up your friend to stage some Olympic events or capture a snow man coming to life. Whatever your ideas, get out there, capture it and share them in the Flickr pool. We can’t wait to see the results!

Winners will be announced on Tuesday.

*Current Exposed photo show winners can participate to win a pair of tickets to give to your friends.

Challenge Accepted: America

By

Despite the admittedly short notice, you did a bang-up job in our first Photo Challenge, to sum up what America means to you in a single image. Our staff debated last night and picked our favorites, posted below. You can check out all the submissions right here.

Do you think we left out a top notch image? Maybe you have an idea for a future challenge to exercise your skills? Let us know in the comments.

Alright Exposed DC Photographers. We’d like to issue a challenge and have you exercise a little creative muscle. Given the upcoming holiday we thought we’d ask you to show us what America means to you. In a single photo.
