Let the fun begin!

Find your 4 weekly challenges below, including the weekly Flash Challenge! This week's Flash Challenge prize is a meal for two on us - in the form of an Uber Eats voucher! YUM

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

Challenge One

When was the last time you spent quality time snuggled up together underneath the stars?  

Even though it’s chilly outside, we want to celebrate with a starry night to remember. Download the Skyview app (iPhone or Android) on your phone and on a clear night, throw on your warmest gear (ski thermals will do!), grab your blankets and pillows and head onto your balcony, into the garden or out to the park. We also recommend bringing your favourite hot drink or a bottle of red wine ;) 

Once you’ve created your cosy snug, look up at the stars together and use the Skyview app to view the incredible constellations and nearby planets. 

If you're looking for a mood setting soundtrack, give our playlist a whirl.

Challenge Two

TEXT ALERT!  

Your first solo challenges will arrive via text message at surprise times during the week.

These are individual challenges so keep them secret from one another!

(Sshhh don’t post these online as there are others playing too!)

Challenge Three

For your first head to head competition we’re challenging you to an

At-home decathlon! 

The fun starts with creating your 10 activities! Choose five each and make an event of it - take photos, award prizes along the way, even ask your friends or family members to bet on the winner.

If you’re stuck on activity ideas, we’ve put together some of our favourites - which you can download here - you can print this out to use as a scoreboard too!

Those who know of other Couple Questers in their friendship group, how about creating a decathlon competition for each other and sharing your photos and successes together?!

Remember to take some great pictures or videos that capture your best moments!

It’s time for your first Flash Challenge! Keep an eye out for a text from us this Saturday morning, when all be revealed!

Hint
You can leave your winter hat on.

Week one done!

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

Get up close and personal

Unless you’re 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 rubbish bins or a sink full of dishes ruin your shot if you don’t want to intentionally include them.

Flash Lightening

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

Laugh, don’t smile…

A well-timed joke may lead to a more natural-looking shot rather than a cheesy ‘forced smile’.

Keep it simple

Try not to pack too much into your shot. Focus on one or two points of interest per shot.

Try framing

is there something you could use to frame your focal point, for example by shooting through a window or archway?
