Another week, another challenge!

Last week, we explored “Doors”. This week’s theme: Embrace the Grain.

This one is about accepting (or exaggerating) what many try to avoid: grain/noise, texture, imperfection.

From film days to digital sensors, grain has always been part of photography: sometimes seen as a flaw, sometimes as character. In this challenge, we want you to lean into it: push your ISO, use different film simulations, use the grain option, shoot in low light, or simply choose scenes where the grain adds mood, emotion, or texture to the image.

It doesn’t have to be technically perfect. It can be a high-ISO night shot, a moody street scene, a portrait with visible grain, or a quiet moment where texture makes the photo feel more raw and real. What matters is that the grain contributes to the feeling of the image, not just appears by accident.

❗How to participate & some rules:

• Make a post with your photo in which the title has the following information:
  • #9: Embrace the Grain - (Your Photo Title);
  • Choose the Weekly Challenge flair;
• Any film simulation is allowed;
• You can use the Grain Effect or just High ISO: it's up to you how to add noise, but the noise must be created SOOC and not in post editing;
• Any style is welcome (street, landscape, documentary, portrait, etc.);
• Feel free to add a short caption or context about your photo (location, story, idea, etc.).

Ready? Show us your take on Doors. Have a great week everyone!

Hello everyone! 👋

It's over another week and it's with a lot of participations. Thank you.

This week's theme was apparently simple, but it always fascinates me how each of us interprets the same challenge.

Ready for another challenge? How was this one?
Shall we go to the next one? 📷

Welcome back to another weekly challenge for this community!

Last week, we explored different countries. This week’s theme: Doors.

A door can be many things: an entrance, an exit, a frame, a detail, a sign of age, a splash of color, or just a small part of everyday life that caught your attention. This challenge is about noticing those moments and showing us how you see them through your X Half.

It doesn’t need to be famous or dramatic, just something that feels interesting, personal, or visually strong.

❗How to participate & some rules:

• Make a post with your photo in which the title has the following information:
  • #8: Doors - (Your Photo Title);
  • Choose the Weekly Challenge flair;
• Any film simulation is allowed;
• Any style is welcome (street, landscape, documentary, portrait, etc.);
• Feel free to add a short caption or context about your photo (location, story, idea, etc.).

Ready? Show us your take on Doors. Have a great week everyone!

Hello everyone! 👋

It's over another week and it's with a lot of participations. Thank you.

The theme showed not only incredible photos but how diverse this community is. I was very curious about many of the shared places.

Ready for another challenge? How was this one? Difficult? Easy? Do you think it made you pay attention to the color red?

Shall we go to the next one? 📷

Welcome back to another weekly challenge for this community!

Last week, we explored “The Color Red”. This week’s theme: My Country
This one is a bit more personal.

Photography is often about where we are: the places we walk through every day, the details we stop noticing, the light that feels familiar. This challenge is about capturing a piece of your country through your own eyes.

It doesn’t have to be something famous or postcard-perfect. It can be a quiet street, a local café, a landscape you grew up with, or a small moment that feels like home. What matters is that it says something about where you’re from.

❗How to participate & some rules:

• Make a post with your photo in which the title has the following information:
  • #7: My Country - (Your Photo Title);
  • Choose the Weekly Challenge flair;
• You can only use photos taken this week (and you can post more than 1 photo);
• Any film simulation is allowed;
• Any style is welcome (street, landscape, documentary, portrait, etc.);
• Feel free to add a short caption or context about your photo (location, story, idea, etc.) and tell us why it represents your country - we would love to know!

Ready? Show us where you’re from. Have a great week everyone!

Hello everyone! 👋

Another week that ends and a challenge that comes to an end. This week showed us a lot of participations, from a lot of new people. Welcome!

I also see the community more active than ever: participation of everyone, those who arrive and those who were already here, always positive. Excellent, thank you all, really!

Ready for another challenge? How was this one? Difficult? Easy? Do you think it made you pay attention to the color red?

Shall we go to the next one? 📷

Do you have any page that you use to publish the pictures you are making with your Fujifilm X Half? If so, share it!

I start: I created a tumblr to post what I’m recording. I created it as a kind of diary, I write the day, the place and a short summary.

Welcome back to another weekly challenge 👋

Last week, we explored “Found Geometry with Acros”. This week’s theme: The Color Red

Red is a powerful and expressive color. It can symbolize energy, passion, danger, warmth, or attention. This challenge is all about spotting and capturing red in your environment, whether it dominates the frame or appears as a subtle accent.

Think bold compositions, striking contrasts, or quiet details that stand out through color. The goal is to make red the visual anchor of your image.

❗How to participate & some rules:

• Make a post with your photo in which the title has the following information:
  • #6: The Color Red - (Your Photo Title);
  • Choose the Weekly Challenge flair;
• You only can use a photo taken this week;
• Use any film simulation (any variation is welcome) or effects;
• Any style is welcome!;
• Feel free to add a short caption or context about your photo (where it is, settings, etc.)

Ready? Let's go! Have a good week everyone!
