A moody photo is one where the light and composition combine with the subject to create an image that has an air of melancholy or mystery and generates an emotional response from the viewer.

Taking moody photos involves:

1 – Capturing the right look & feel in camera

2 – Enhancing that mood with editing

There have been some terrific moody Black and White photos posted recently in our Cluster gallery.

Of course, the moody image does not need to be in black and white. Norm has created a wonderful series of gangster images that he has entered into our bi-monthy competition such as this one:

‘Gangster Street Chase’ by Norm Stimson

Thanks to the Will for this suggestion.

How to upload your image

You have until next Tuesday to upload your image to Cluster. Members have all been sent an invitation to join and most have done so already. If you have any trouble feel free to email Esther. We also encourage you to leave encouraging comments for other members.

We’d love your suggestions/requests for future challenges. Please leave them as a comment under the challenge notification in Cluster or Facebook.

We will also post this competition on our “Friends of BCC” Facebook group so our friends can still participate by sharing their images on Facebook.
