USE A TRIPOD

The photographic theme "Use a Tripod" challenges you to create an image that clearly couldn’t have been captured without one. Think long exposures that blur motion, ultra-sharp details in low light, or perfectly aligned composites—images where the tripod is essential. But beyond the technique, the final image must also hold artistic merit. Composition, mood, and intention should come together to create a photograph that’s not only technically reliant on a tripod, but also visually compelling and meaningful.

Remember, a theme is merely a tool for storytelling in your image—it should enhance the narrative, not be the sole focus. The theme itself is never the final goal; rather, it serves as a guide to help convey meaning and emotion.
