Three is a magic number!

Your next 4 weekly challenges are below, including this week’s Flash Challenge - a chance to win $200 worth of amazing board games!

Don’t forget those photography tips down below to help you capture the magic in the most wonderful of ways.

Challenge One

We love creatures great and small!

Take a funny photo of each family member with a different animal in the background - the more variety of animals the better!

Challenge Two

Burn off some energy to stay warm!

Create an obstacle course in your backyard or at a local park.

Prop ideas include hoola hoops, pool noodles, flower pots, balloons, rope, egg and spoons - you could even just use chalk like in the example below!

If you love this, why not expand on the idea and host a Family Winter Olympics?

Challenge Three

Make kindness rocks. When they're finished, head to a park and place them carefully near the path so people on their daily walks can see them. Spread the love!

Alternatively you can make pet rocks and place them in a flower pot in your garden!

It’s hide and seek time so dress up in camouflage colours and head on outside. Take a family photo of everyone in hiding - for example you could be peeking through the flower beds, over a fence or from behind a tree! Be creative - the best photo wins!

Remember to share this one to Instagram using #MyFamilyFunChallenge and tagging us at @AmazingCo.me (or @AmazingCo on Facebook). Entries close Monday night!

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.
