Some of you might have been able to capture some great photos while staying at home. And many of you will probably choose to stay home during the break even as social distancing measures are being relaxed.
For our next competition, we are looking for the best photos that you can take while at home! Get creative as this encompasses endless possibilities like macro, pet, food and still-life.

Some Tips and Hints from Our Judges
1. A good and strong photograph usually does not need a title or caption to ‘tell’ us what’s going on. Think about what you want to convey – take into consideration the composition and framing of your photo.
2. Think about the various techniques you can use, such as playing with lighting or textures.
3. Think outside of the box. This month’s theme allows you to be creative and push the boundaries.
Only have a phone? No Problem!
We don’t care what device you use. Know its limitations and work within the confines.
