This week, in the Photofocus Community We welcomed several more new members. The weekly challenge got us to celebrate the holidays and we had some great submissions to our genre-based groups.

Welcome new members

I just wanted to share a few of the images that were posted by new members. The more members who join, the wider variety of images, genres and styles of photography we are able to experience. Thanks to Aldis Putelis, Garfield Milne and Kris Weyers for sharing!

Weekly challenge: Colors of Christmas

Photofocus author Julie Powell challenged our members to create and share the colors of Christmas. The holidays always offer up some bright and fun photo opportunities that we don’t have for the rest of the year. It’s fun to get out our cameras, lenses and play.

Seeing these quite different takes on the colors of the holidays just goes to show you there are endless options for ideas around the holidays.

This week in different groups

The Photofocus Community is organized by using genre or topic-specific groups. Look through the groups there are and join those that reflect your areas of interest. This week I’m sharing a few images from the Wildlife group, the Street Photography group and the Mobile Photography group.
