Let the fun begin!

Find your 4 weekly challenges below, including the weekly Flash Challenge with a chance to win a $200 UberEats voucher!

We want to make sure you capture the fun in the best possible way, to help, we’ve created a few simple photography tips you can find at the bottom of this page.

Challenge One

Head to a nature reserve, woodland or forest and play our Scavenger Hunt with the kids! You can read them straight from your phone, or you may want to print them off before you head out.

Challenge Two

Wait till it’s wet outside, put your raincoats on and go dancing in the rain! As a family, perform and film a dance move or a comedy routine together! 

Challenge Three

Feeling creative? Let’s make a family stop motion movie! First, Download the Stop Motion Studio app (download from the App Store or Google Play Store). Then, get the kids to search for all the figurine toys they can find around the house, if you don’t have figurines you could create your characters using play-dough or print and mount your favourite movie characters on cardboard. 

Next, create a background with household objects or get the kids to draw one! Follow the tips and tricks on the app and together create a 15-30 second stop motion movie!

Though this Weekly Prize has now passed, you still need to complete it to be in the running for the Grand Prize!

It’s time for an adventure! Wrap up in clothes you don’t mind getting a bit dirty and seek out a steep hill! Take turns rolling down it and capture your best photo to include in your ‘1 Second Everyday’ video collage.

Week one done!

Don’t forget to share the magical moments you’ve captured from this week’s challenges, especially the fun rolling down the hill!

Want some advice on how to take the best photo?
Give these ideas a try. 

• Unless you are capturing a backdrop or large piece - try getting in close. Fill the frame with your subject to avoid too much wasted space!

• Be aware of backgrounds - don’t let things like garbage bins or a passerby ruin your shot if you don’t want to intentionally include them in it! Change your angle or wait until people have passed by. It will be worth it!

• See The Light! Take note of where the light is coming from - does it cast interesting shadows on your subject that you may want to capture or does it just hide the detail you need? Move around to find the best lit angle.

• Using the flash isn’t just for night time - sometimes a bright day may create harsh shadows that you don’t like, so using the flash may allow a more even exposure.

• Laugh, don’t smile...a well-timed joke will often lead to a more natural looking shot of your subject rather than a forced ‘cheese’

• Try framing - is there something you could use to frame your focal point - e.g by shooting through a window or archway?

• Keep it simple - try not to pack too much into your shot. Try focusing on one or two points of interest per shot.
