Liquids

Liquids are, of course, everywhere: flowing, ebbing, glittering, elemental. It holds endless possibilities for the photographer, weather you enjoy portraits,landscapes, food or reportage there's plenty of scope for creativity with such an universal subject.

Liquids are unpredictable so what can you capture that no-one else has?

Water's a good starting point, but as always explore the subject, alcohol, milk, water, gravy, all have different properties. The trick is to play around with how a camera captures liquid in motion. The shutter speed section in techniques may give you some ideas.

Liquids also have social and cultural meaning. Can you show this in your picture? Perhaps people enjoying water activities or maybe the impact of drinking on a family. Perhaps we'll even get a images celebrating the institution of a nice cup of tea.

From the bath to the ocean Happy Shooting!

Thanks again to MindStudio for this task

    Seagulls: water birds - insisted on reminding me that with the onslaught of bird flu perhaps there will be no seagulls one day!

    Is this a pointless treadmill? What is everyone getting out of this exercise? Or are we all waiting to be judged by the mighty judges?

    Me personally I am really enjoying these set of challenges and just think its inspiring to share ideas and learn from others. I am a total photography freak and study A Level photography in the day then trawl this place at night :-) One of my images was judged by Martin and Joy and featured on last week's show and for me that was dead exciting and especially so as I love Martin Parr and Joy's work. I just wish I had known about the picturethis stuff ages ago, only found out about the show by accident.

    When people submit to the gallery for judging if you posted yours beginning of the week it goes right to the back, sometimes it seems like only ones judged are pages 1-5! Seems a bit unfair on those who posted earlier.

    Apologies! Have now worked out how to insert relevant pics - one at a time only because slowly, slowly catches the monkey. Will stop talking to myself henceforth and perhaps the editors can delete all my whimsical comments...
