Hello photography lovers!
Welcome to a new round of the Friendlymoose photocontest! I hope you're just as excited about it as I am. For this week I have chosen the subject: PLAYING WITH LIGHT
As is so often the case, the topic can be interpreted in many different ways.
I always enjoy playing with light while taking photos, for example by creating a lens flare when shooting against the light (like in the photo from my archive down below).
But there are many other ways to play with light. You could for instance use a long shutter speed and draw figures in the air with a light. This so-called lightpainting is a popular subject in photography. There is even a community dedicated to lightpainters. Check out that community to see what cool effects you can create: https://peakd.com/c/hive-108913/created
And maybe you have some other ideas to play with light. Surprise me! And if you're not that creative, ask ChatGPT to come up with some ideas and work them out.
I'm curious what you all come up with again this week!
Have fun!
The Friendlymoose Photocontest (#FPC) is a weekly photography competition featuring a new theme each week. It runs from Sunday to the following Sunday, closing at 8:00 PM CEST.
This contest is open to everyone—whether you're an experienced photographer with professional gear or a beginner capturing shots on your phone. All are welcome to join!
Each week, you can participate by creating a blog post featuring at least one photo that aligns with the current theme. Make sure to place your themed photo as the first image in the post. While you can submit an archived photo, it’s more engaging to head out and capture something new!
Your photo should tell a story on its own, but add context in your post. Share background details about the subject, location, techniques you used, and your inspiration for selecting this photo. Don’t forget to tag your post with #FPC so I can find your entry!
You’re also welcome to leave a comment on this post with your photo and a link to your blog entry.
The contest ends next Sunday at 8:00 PM CEST, after which I’ll review the entries and select three winners. Judging will be based on both photo quality and originality, as well as the accompanying background information in your post.
Winners will receive Hive tokens and Ecency points.
Place | Hive tokens | Ecency points |
---|---|---|
1 | 3 | 100 |
2 | 2 | 50 |
3 | 1 | 25 |
The Hive is donated by my and the Ecency points are generously donated by @good-karma They can be used in the @ecency front end to promote your posts or receive delegations.
If you have any questions about the contest or any questions about photography in general, you can find me in the Hive Photographers Discord Server.
Ecency is a social network on Hive that rewards content creators with Hive and points. Ecency points can be used to promote or boost your content, and can even be transferred or gifted to another user.
Please let me know if you would like to get a mention when a new round of the Friendlymoose Photocontest starts so I can add you to the list.

@friendlymoose, i got a question.
is it possible to change an entry to the contest? how to do that? i just took a picture today and i loved it more. 🙏
Just edit your post and add in the new photo.
Or if you create a new post, remove the #fpc tag from the 1st one and add the tag to the second post.
oh. neat! thanks a lot. i'm posting a new one tomorrow.
Let's wow the light, our photograph this week will be extremely unique because of light presence
Above all, you have organized this wonderful photography through your great experience. It is truly a great job to take these beautiful pictures. Some messages about the skill of taking pictures and these wonderful pictures will always inspire us all. Of course, everyone's participation will be great.
Best regards @mdakash62

Archives are also allowed, but going out to shoot new footage is always nicer of course.
