This round, we’re turning our lenses toward landmarks! Landmarks are iconic structures, hidden gems, and breathtaking monuments that define places around the world. Whether it’s a historic building, a modern skyline, or a natural wonder, landmarks often tell a story.
Show us your best landmark shots for this round of the #POBPhotocontest!
And as you’ve come to expect from me, I’ll start with an example. Here is one of the iconic landmarks we have in The Netherlands; Windmills, as I posted in my recent blog.
The #POBPhotoContest 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 #POBPhotoContest 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.
