MCP Photography and Editing Challenge: Highlights from this Week

This week’s photography challenge pays tribute to the succulent days of summer; the perfect time to enjoy may of life’s guilty pleasures. This week we invited you to snap a photo of your guilty little pleasure.

Join us for the biweekly photography challenges. It is the perfect way to grow as a photographer, as you can take creative license to  try new things as you shoot these topics for yourself.   You will have the support of a large group of photographers who can help you by providing feedback as you work on specific themes and skills.

We loved seeing your take on this theme. There were many guilty pleasures to choose from! Here are a few we wanted to feature, but make sure to check the album on the group page for more.

The team would like to thank everyone who submitted a photo for the challenge. You have one more week on this theme, so come join our Facebook Group and participate now.

The editing challenge gives you a chance to edit other photographer’s images, share them for critique, and enjoy others’ edit of the same photographs.  Participating allows you to practice editing, learn how to give constructive criticism, and see what steps or Photoshop actions and Lightroom presets are used in various edits.  Join us to edit the bi-weekly photos.

The editing challenge continued this week with more creative edits of Amanda Johnson’s summer sweetie pie. Here are two additional edits using MCP actions that we would like to highlight.

Edited by Julia Hall Altork using:

Hand edits,

Paint on Red Baby Fix, Touch of Light, Sugar-n-Spice at 48%, and Hush the Gray from NewbornNecessities

Summer Vignette and a Lens Flare from the Summer Solstice

Edited by Aimee Costello using Summer Solistice

If you have an idea on how you’d edit the image below, or want to see and learn what others did, JOIN US HERE.

Thank you again to Amanda Johnson for allowing us to use this photo.  The current challenges are linked at the top of the group. Remember, you can also ask for critique on your edit.

We will have a new edit challenge starting Monday, so come back to see what image you can edit then.
