Photo Connect Murfreesboro, a group that aims to bring together and inspire Murfreesboro-area photography enthusiasts, has begun issuing a monthly photo challenge to all who would like to participate.

Recently, the group announced a challenge of “freezing motion.”

Photographers captured a variety of action, impressively “pausing” dancing, animals, various athletic and racing events, lots of water action, and other activities and topics.

Previous challenges have included macro photography, self-portraits, wildlife, street photography, leading lines, tight-crop, and marketing and product shots.

Photo Connect Murfreesboro also holds meetings the second Thursday of each month in the Linebaugh Public Library board room, on the second floor.

All photographers and photo enthusiasts are welcome to participate in Photo Connect Murfreesboro challenges and meetings, whether professionals or hobbyists. This group is a tool to connect, teach, learn, exchange resources and, most importantly, promote photography in Murfreesboro, according to organizers.
