Instagram Winners - White
/This week was a color challenge and one of the trickier ones at that focusing on white. White needs to be white, like I mentioned before exposure and your histogram is key. Otherwise, you end up with gray or blown out photos. For the most part looking through entries, you guys did great. That said there were a few entries that didn't make it due to being quite dull to the point of a gray photo, watch that histogram! White was key this week and beyond a lot of swan entries, we had varied subjects from snow to bubbles, great for a color challenge. As for next week’s challenge, we apologize in advance to the introverts out there as you’ll be trying to go for candid photography. This doesn’t mean you're stuck doing street photography, albeit that’s what most think starting out. Candid photos focus on getting your photo without a posed appearance, catching people in the act, and that’s your challenge this week. To enter post your photos on Instagram before noon next Friday with the tags #PRTV and #PRTV_candid.

Toby’s Winner:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BQCXwtHBp1r/This is a cute, cute, photo! Not super sharp, with focus just starting to hit her face but this is white! The color of the bathtub really makes it stand out.
Toby’s Honorable Mentions:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BP81bVQFybf/This is one of those shots where I was like "ooh this could be a little whiter". Still, it's one of those shots that the thumbnail really stood out to me. It could be a touch brighter and the gray in the corner could go but it's still a strong photo.https://www.instagram.com/p/BP-1BW9FBY0/This is one of those easy things to get, a toy or model. The white is a bright right, it's centered and makes for a nice photo.
Roy’s Winner:

Roy’s Honorable Mentions:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BQCXwtHBp1r/Honestly, bubbles were not one that came to mind for a white challenge but it does well to frame your daughter in the shot. It’s a fun photo with an honest expression that makes for a cute entry. https://www.instagram.com/p/BP6o26lFL19/A northern shrike in the sky is a great way to get a white photo. Not to mention from a birding standpoint they are one of the harder subjects to shoot without flying away.
A 365 day photography challenge is the perfect way to work on your photography skills while documenting more of the little moments in life. Even with the best of intentions, it’s difficult to stick to such a big commitment. As with many long-term challenges and resolutions, most people give up within the first couple weeks. The following tips will help you get the most out of your 365 day photo challenge and complete it successfully.
When Nikon announced their next entry level DSLR in November the Nikon D5600 was dropped with its specs but no details on price or when it was coming to the US. This week at CES they announced it’s coming soon, this month in fact. Coming in multiple kits, the Nikon D5600 will be released this month with the AF-P 18-55mm F3.5-5.6G lens for $799, with the AF-S 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G lens for $1199, with the 18-55 and AF-P 70-300mm F4.5-6.3G lenses for $1149, and body only for $699. Actually $100 less than the D5500 when it was announced last year.
