November photography competition - Low Light

[Peter_S.]

This month, we’re focusing on Low Light photography. Pick up your tripod, crank up your ISO settings and make the most of those challenging low light photographic opportunities. Even the most dimly lit scene has got the potential to produce a great photograph, but the trick is to experiment in order to capture that perfect low light moment.

The prize for this month is an incredible ILCE-QX1 lens style camera. So what are you waiting for? Time to leave the house and shoot that prize-winning photograph. Click the link below to enter, and good luck!
