DOGWOOD: one photo a week. Reminder and invitation.

April 14th, 2016

Dear 365-ers!

Now, it has been a couple of weeks since we last did an update on the ongoing 52-week “Dogwood” challenge, so maybe it’s time to do it again.

If you have not heard about it before, you are very much invited to look at it and get aboard – just jump into the current week. There is one prompt a week, designed to challenge photographers to expand the variety of their techniques and subjects. You look at the week’s topic, make one or more attempts and, if you want, tag the resulting photo so that others can see it and comment (see main challenge link below for the list of tags for each week). It is not a competition, not a contest, just a nice way to challenge yourself once a week to try something you might have not tried before.

As of this point, there is a small-ish, but determined group of 365-ers who are following the challenge, and I wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone who manages to stick with it week after week.

Just for orientation where we are now, here is the list of topics, dates and tags for the upcoming weeks till the end of April:

WEEK 15: April 11th Tag 52wc-2016-w15
Artistic: Metal
Cold, hard steel. Shiny Aluminum. Or even rusted and broken down. Find your inspiration in metal this week.

WEEK 16: April 18th Tag 52wc-2016-w16
Portrait: Movement
Most portraits are stationary, so this week explore adding some movement. Dancing, twirling, or even hair flips.

WEEK 17: April 25th Tag 52wc-2016-w17
Landscape: Urbanscape
Most Landscapes are wide open spaces of natural beauty... this week find the beauty of the urbanscape/cityscape.


And here are some links that you can use to explore and see more:

@difof105 Great to hear it! Just add an appropriate tag in the "tag" field for your photo and it will show up at the next week's entries. No pressures - if you skip a week for some reason, you can always join again for the next week. Glad we will have more people on board - it is fun to see others' take on the week's topic.

@dmlangdon329 Great! Just save the original link for you somewhere so that you have a quick and easy access to the list of topics and tags, and whenever you have a photo for a particular week, put the according tag into the "tag" field when you upload the photo. It will then show up among other entries. :)
