Sunday Stills is a photography challenge with a weekly theme (similar to the now-defunct WPC). Each Sunday, I publish a post on the weekly theme, including images of my interpretation. Any blogger is welcome to participate and interpret the challenge with their photos, poems, stories, music, etc!
What are “Stills”? Still photography is a term used in the movie industry, creating a still shot from film for a variety of purposes.
Sunday Stills was launched in May 2018. This photo challenge operates with a weekly theme that begins each Sunday and lasts all week. While there are many wonderful photo challenges, I wanted to revive this one because of its simplicity.
Feel free to grab this image and use it on your blog’s sidebar or in the post.
Each linked post will be shared on Twitter (X) when possible to boost your blog’s exposure! If you share on social media or in WordPress, please use the hashtag #SundayStills.
Be sure to link to one of my Sunday Stills posts or the current post so I can continue sharing your lovely images!
I encourage “double-dipping” with other blog challenges if you do not want to create a separate post.
Looking for more inspiration? Visit Cee’s Photo Challenges for her complete list of challenges. There is a challenge for everyone!
Titling Your Own Blog Post
- When titling your Sunday Stills post, you do not have to use “Sunday Stills” in the title, but please use the tag Sunday Stills in your post to help other bloggers find it.
- Please refrain from titling your post with the same title as mine. Our blogs are found on Google searches using SEO, and having several blog posts with the same title can be confusing.
Challenges within the Challenge to Spark Your Creativity
- Sunday Stills Photo Challenge offers a monthly color challenge around the middle Sunday of the month.
