1. The picture must be taken between 12:01 PM today and 11 AM next Monday. This isn’t a curate your photos project. This is a get your butt off the couch and take pictures challenge!
2. There is a limit of 2 submissions per person per theme. If you send me more than 2, I will use the first 2 that you submit. If you submit 2 pictures, make sure they are of different subjects.
3. Deadline to submit your submission is 11 AM Central Time the following Monday. But that is a deadline. Pictures can be submitted as soon as you take them.
4. To be considered the photographer of an image, you have to be the one that clicks the shutter. If you hand your camera over to somebody else to take a picture of you, you are NOT the photographer of that image.
5. No screen captures. This is a photography challenge. Not a “look at what I found on the internet” challenge.
6. Please include the location of where the picture was taken with your submission.
There are still 2 ways to submit:
1. Email your submission to bennett@photography139.com.
2. Text your submission to my Google Pixel 8 Pro.

There were no major milestones reached this week. But there were some streaks snapped. Michelle couldn’t build on last week’s submission. Her streak is over before it began. Becky’s streak also fell after 3 weeks. The humanity!
Enough dwelling on the past! Time to look to the future. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future! This week’s theme:
FOOD (Suggested by Angie DeWaard)
FOOD! What a great theme for Year 12 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE!
I look forward to seeing your interpretation!
PHOTOGRAPHY TIP OF THE WEEK
Last week we discussed how ISO is the rating of how sensitive your camera sensor (or film) is too light. I said there was a second thing to know about ISO. That is that the lower the number ISO you choose the less sensitive to light your camera sensor (or film) is to light. So the lower the number the more light needs to hit your sensor to get a properly exposed picture. One more thing to know about ISO is that while the higher number ISO you choose might be more sensitive to light, but it also comes with increased grain or digital noise. If you go too high (depending on your camera) images will become so noisy that they are practically unusable. What that number is, depends on you camera, but frequently image quality degrades above 1600.
That is all I got, so if the good Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise, we will see your idea of FOOD in this place that talks about food way too much next Monday.
