A photo challenge for Niagara Photographers who are interested in the opportunity to see through the lens of fellow photographers as a source of inspiration. ● This year we have 6 locations spread across Niagara !
Download the location map here.
- Visit each of the 6 locations below and take photos.
- You can do them all in one day or different days, time etc. Please stay as close to the designated spot or area as possible when taking your shots or it will defeat the purpose. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your photos. Remember this is the “what do you see” photo challenge, so make us “see what you see”.
- When you have shot all the locations, pick your one best photo from each location and process the 6 images to your liking, anything goes.
- Resize your 6 images to maximum 1920 pixels wide x 1080 pixels high in JPG format.
- Rename each jpg image file starting with the number of the location and then your name. As an example an image from location 3 will be called “3 Joe Smith” .
- Email them to me dropdcreighton@gmail.com to complete your submission. (please note your images should go directly to Darren, there will not be link to our Dropbox for this event)
- The deadline for submissions is October 14th 2026.
Here’s the best part;
Your images will be assembled into a slideshow with the other participants and shown in the order of locations. That way all of us can draw on the inspiration in seeing what other photographers see with different interpretations of the same locations. It is a great way to expand what you see and photograph, as well as a great excuse to go out and shoot!
The slideshow will premiere at a Welland Photography Club meeting on October 28rd 2026. After that evening it will be uploaded to YouTube for all of us to enjoy.
