I circled back to the rosemary, couldn’t resist. The bee’s anchored against soft lilac and green, the focus just shallow enough to make the scene feel fragile. Feels like a small, earned calm.

A raptor riding the wind at Point Peron. No idea what it is, if anyone has an ideas!?
Verhalen van het afgelopen halfjaar gaan over de tafel. Wijnglazen worden gevuld. Dus ik zeg tegen mijn familie: „Trouwens, ik heb ook nieuwtje.” Allemaal in één draai naar mij…

De fotoredactie van NRC selecteert elke week de indrukwekkendste, mooiste en beste nieuwsfoto’s die binnenkomen op de redactie. In de week dat Suriname vijftig jaar onafhankelijkheid vierde, kostte een brand in de Wang Fuk Court-woontorens in Hongkong aan minstens 65 mensen het leven, won PSV van Liverpool en verleende de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump gratie aan de twee kalkoenen Gobble en Waddle.

Welcome back to another Weekly Photo Challenge at Digital Photography School!
This week you get to choose from five creative photography prompts — all designed to help you notice your world a little differently and strengthen your visual storytelling.
Whether you prefer landscapes, street photography, portraits, or still life, each prompt below offers a unique way to push your creativity and explore new techniques.
Your Five Prompts This Week
1. Leading Lines
Lines are everywhere — roads, railings, tree branches, stairways, shadows. Use them to guide the viewer’s eye toward your subject or deeper into the frame.
2. Motion Blur
Instead of freezing action, try showing motion. Slow your shutter and capture the beauty of movement: cyclists, waterfalls, passing cars, or walking crowds. Tripod optional, experimentation encouraged.
3. Negative Space
Minimalism often speaks loudly. Try placing your subject within a large, uncluttered area. It could be sky, wall, floor, ocean, or a blurred field. Let the emptiness elevate your subject.
4. Close-Up Details
The world is full of fascinating textures and details we rarely see. Focus on something small — a droplet, a fabric weave, an insect wing, cracked paint, a watch dial, a flower petal. Get closer than you usually do.
5. Golden Hour Magic (What’s Golden Hour?)
Ah, the warm glow of the sun as it rises or sets. This hour transforms even ordinary scenes into something cinematic. Try silhouettes, portraits, landscapes, street shots, or architecture bathed in soft light.
How to Join the Challenge
- Pick one prompt that sparks your interest.
- Spend the week exploring, experimenting, and shooting.
- Share your final image at the end of the week using #dPSWeeklyChallenge.

These challenges are all about practice, play, and exploring your vision. Can’t wait to see what you create!

Australia warned it's in danger of missing its 2035 climate targets without deeper pollution cuts, which in turn threatens the nation's ambitions to reach net zero by mid-century. From a report: Emissions are set to fall 48% by 2035 from 2005 levels based on current projections [non-paywalled source], the government said in a report on Thursday. That's short of an official pledge to cut greenhouse gases between 62% and 70%. The forecast doesn't take into account new action planned under the nation's Net Zero Plan. Still, the targets remain achievable and officials plan to take additional measures to meet them, Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen said in a speech to parliament.
