The beauty of this area would not be what it is without those beautiful snow capped peaks around us.
Therefore this week we are challenging you all to get out there and shoot us a photo with mountains in it. We don’t care which mountains or if there’s another focus or subject within the frame with the mountains (although we are fans of mountain photos that have something else in it besides just mountains, that’s just a heads up when the “judging” comes around) just get out there this week and capture an image depicting mountains.
Remember we ENCOURAGE you to shoot the challenge in the week that it is posted, being as the whole reason for these challenges is to get people out there with their cameras having fun with photography. But we understand that not everyone has the luxury of getting paid to wander around with a camera all day (Larry, Derek and I never take that for granted I assure you) so we will accept previously shot photos…though it is still frowned upon. 😉
Choose your best or favorite photo and upload it to our site and a recap of the challenge rules and instructions will be at the bottom of this post.
You’ll have until until June 17th. to show your images.
Here are a few photos from our archives to get you thinking:

***To recap: Every week we will post a new photography “challenge” to help build on all of our current photography skills and to encourage everyone to get out and get shooting (cameras not guns). While we encourage you to shoot the challenge in the week that it is assigned, we will however accept entries taken prior to the challenge assignment date.
When you’ve got your favorite shot, login to the Kitsap Sun Your
Media Site (if you don’t already have a login, you can quickly
set it one up) and upload your image to the Kitsap
Frames Photo Challenge Channel (the channels run along the left
hand side of the page, again if you can’t seem to get it into the
channel just upload it normally and send me an email and we’ll move
it).
