FCCP Weekly Photo Assignment 130: Journalistic

FCCP events are designed to encourage members to take photos more frequently. Assignment topics are chosen to encourage members to photograph subjects they may not normally photograph. Members may have to use techniques that they don't normally use and in return, they'll gain new insights and skills in photography.

With Assignments, it's OK to start taking photos as soon as the event is posted. However, if you find yourself unable to take a photo during any week, it's OK to upload one from your archive, but please include a caption stating that it's "From My Archive."

Here are a few "Journalistic" photos to get you thinking. https://tinyurl.com/yaxqyej5

Once you have completed the Assignment go to the RSVP page and upload your photos to the event. Please limit the size of your photos to a long edge of approx 2,000 pixel and don't start uploading photos to Meetup before 5:00 PM, Thursday 7/6/2023. You may want to consider also posting your photos to our Facebook Group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/FLCCP/

Please group all your Facebook photos for any one Assignment together, so as not to overwhelm the feed.

All group members are encouraged to enjoy the photos that are posted by the participants of this Assignment and add comments of encouragement and appreciation.

Good luck and good shooting.
