Bridges

Bridges are one of the classic features of architecture, they can be found everywhere around the world and come in many variations. From wooden planks crossing a small rivulet, to highly artful constructions and wonders of construction methods over time. While we already have some great images from some (famous) bridges, there are always more bridges out there to be documented or shown at their best.

Darkness

Light is the basic resource for photography. Scarcity is always one source of creativity. Capturing the darkness is a challenge worth taking.

Needlework

While we already have a sizeable collection of pictures of some techniques of needlework, we are missing a lot of others. In addition many pictures are not high quality. --Kritzolina (talk) 12:18, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

As the curves and spiral topic is running for the second time with a huge participation, I thought a variation might also be a good idea. Angles and squares are usually not found in nature, but they are a basic feature of most architecture and can be found all around us. It could be a fun challenge that works indoor and outdoor.

Light tent (Lightbox photography)

Lightbox photography is a useful photographic technique that can be done indoors by anyone. There aren't a great many examples of it on Commons, now could be a good time to improve the collection. (WikiHow shows an easy DIY.) – Shillings1005 (talk) 01:45, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Playgrounds are another of these things that exist almost everywhere around the world, yet they are often overlooked and a lot of the pictures we have are low quality. But they are fun! Let us document more of the different kinds of fun that those special places hold.

Surprisingly, we've had fewer autumn-related themes than any of the other three seasons, despite autumn being perhaps the most photogenic season. This should be run in either October or November, with a slight preference to November as the median peak foliage in the Northern Hemisphere is probably late October to early November, and we want to give people ample time to process and upload their photos.

Voor (in the atuli, say november / december

Mining equipment

A variation of Commons:Photo challenge/2017 - August - Caves, Mines and Sinkholes. There is some slight self-interest in this from my side, as I work in mining but mining equipment, especially large ones, are very photogenic. One doesn't have to have access to a mine either to participate, Mining Museums provide ample opportunity, too.

Reading the reports of anti-Chinese responses to the coronavirus outbreak, has encouraged me to reflect on how Chinese culture and art has influenced fashion and design in other countries and how there are people of every nationality I can think of that have a Chinese ancestry and cultural heritage. In a current political climate of populism and nationalism, it would be good to see Commons run a challenge to illustrate multiculturalism to show how intertwined our cultures are.

I don’t know whether this proposal has already been discussed…Pipe organs can be found in churches, chapels and synagoges, in theatres and concert halls all over the world. The new photos can perfectly be used for illustration of Wikipedia articles. What do you think about this? --Maimaid (talk) 12:56, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

  •  Comment good people should turn Commons to religious institution. We don't know there we might not be able to avoid been biased to the religion not all the religion of the world is been declared why choosing this topic

Sorry, but I don't understand what you want to say. Do you speak French? Best regards --Maimaid (talk) 20:31, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I just traduct, but I agree to the basic idea of @Tbiw : Pipe organs don't exist in all countries, and thats very restrictive to numberous users. No, wait ? Sorry ? We should turn Commons to a religious institution ???

I just don't understand why you can say that. I suppose a writing error. Traduction : Les gens biens devraient transformer ommons en une institution religieuse. Nous ne savons pas que nous pourrions ne pas être en mesure d'éviter d'être biaisés pour la religion, toutes les religions du monde ne sont pas déclarées[concernées], pourquoi choisir ce sujet ? --'''''<span style="color:green, text-shadow:0.1em 0.1em 0.1em gray">--[[Utilisateur:Nicolas de Bourgoing|Nicolas de Bourgoing]] <sup>([[Discussion utilisateur:Nicolas de Bourgoing|&#128172;]])</sup> </span>''''' (talk) 15:53, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

There are never enough good high quality pictures of everyday items around the world. And as the heavy baking and cooking season before christmas is coming up, at least in part of the world, this could be a good time to capture some of the utensils usually buried in the back of cupboards and drawers. Indoor challenge.
