This week I got inspired by the weather over here in the Netherlands. Not because it is warm, it's actually the contrary; It's becoming quite cold. But this weather does make us look for WARMTH. We've taken our winter coats from the attic as well as the scarves and mittens.
We're getting out chimney cleaned, so we can light the fireplace again. And I'm looking forward to drink some hot coffee or chocolate milk.
How would you capture warmth in a photo? Show me in your entry for this round of the Friendlymoose Photo Contest!
Rules in short!
- Create a blog post featuring a photo that fits this week’s theme or post your photo in a reply to this post if you're not able to create a good quality post from just your entry.
- Be sure to add the following tag to your post: #FPC
- Leave a comment on at least one other entry!
- While archived photos are allowed, I recommend sharing a recent shot.
- Add details about your photo: What do we see? Where was it taken? What inspired you to capture it? Which techniques or equipment did you use?
- You may include additional photos in your post, but only the first image will be considered for the contest.
- Optional: Add a link to your post and the photo itself in a comment on this announcement post.
About the Friendlymoose Photocontest
The Friendlymoose Photocontest (#FPC) is a weekly photography competition featuring a new theme each week. It runs from Sunday to the following Sunday, closing at 8:00 PM CEST.
This contest is open to everyone—whether you're an experienced photographer with professional gear or a beginner capturing shots on your phone. All are welcome to join!
Each week, you can participate by creating a blog post featuring at least one photo that aligns with the current theme. Make sure to place your themed photo as the first image in the post. While you can submit an archived photo, it’s more engaging to head out and capture something new!
Your photo should tell a story on its own, but add context in your post. Share background details about the subject, location, techniques you used, and your inspiration for selecting this photo. Don’t forget to tag your post with #FPC so I can find your entry!
You’re also welcome to leave a comment on this post with your photo and a link to your blog entry.
The contest ends next Sunday at 8:00 PM CEST, after which I’ll review the entries and select three winners. Judging will be based on both photo quality and originality, as well as the accompanying background information in your post.
Winners will receive Hive tokens and Ecency points.
| Place | Hive tokens | Ecency points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | 100 |
| 2 | 2 | 50 |
| 3 | 1 | 25 |
The Hive is donated by my and the Ecency points are generously donated by
