About

challenge.camera

Features

Read full description

I have a couple of friends that are also into photography, we try to meet up on a regular basis and take pictures. We soon realised that we need themes, and we did not find an easy solution to the problem. So I sat down one weekend and created challenge.camera. The site has been up since mid-2019, and has seen some traffic. To make it even easier, I decided to make an app that links to the webpage, and here it is! All example images are copyrighted be me fredrikmolnar.se or from unsplash.com. If you have any suggestions, send an email to suggestions@challenge.camera Enjoy!
