Assignment #295: The Summer Scene
The summer solstice fell on June 21 this year, and while for many the official kickoff of summer means vacations, downtime and fun in the sun, for photographers it means a sun that’s higher in the sky for most of the day, hazy skies and less color contrast. But that’s when a photographer’s training and experience kicks in. For this week’s assignment, show us how you’ve used challenging midday light with your best landscape, nature and wildlife summer scenes. Deadline is July 12.—Kristan Ashworth, Managing Editor
