A big congrats to Joanne G. for winning the April Drag the shutter Photo Challenge raffle and a $50 gift card! Just a slow enough shutter speed to add interest and a dynamic feeling to this fun photo.
The May Photo Challenge is "patterns."
What our members think of the Photo Challenges
The challenges inspire me to get my camera out and actually use it! I love the feedback from the community and seeing what others come up with.

By being challenged to produce every month a photograph with a different task for each month I am pushed to get creative, especially because you can not dig into your archive but have to go out for ideas and images. By completing these tasks my creative process really did become more effective.

John's monthly photo challenges have done more to improve my photography than anything I have ever tried before. I believe that the photo challenges are so useful because they focus on only one specific skill or technique. Then John requires you to actually take a photo using that particular technique for feedback by not only himself but other photographers as well - always insightful! Can't wait for the next challenge!
