Looking for something slightly different than the word a day challenge? Some of us have decided to go for a week by week challenge this May. You're welcome to join us! Here's the layout:
May 1-5: Color
May 6-12: Black and white or monochrome
May 13-19: Same subject
May 20-26: Abstract or minimal
May 27-31: Focus or macro
You are allowed one wild card per week and you cannot repeat a wild card once it's been used. Wildcards can be used in any order, but remember, only once.
1) Inspired by: here's your chance to pay the highest form of flattery and copy a shot of another photographer that you admired or fav'd
2) Low light or unique use of light
3) Anything beginning with the letter M
4) SOOC
5) Street shot.

Have fun!

@olivetreeann I have really enjoyed this challenge, even though I jumped in late, and used several alternates. :) I hope you do another one, although I have zero ideas! I can't believe it's almost over!
@olivetreeann Any plans for a challenge for next month? I haven't managed to think of anything yet... I've been considering another word-book challenge - the last one was fun :) Let me know if you come up with anything - only 1 day of May left for me!
@alia_801 I was noodling around with an idea yesterday. I've liked this weekly format and was thinking about a "back to basics" week by week and had collected a bunch of ideas about composition. I was also thinking about something called "Jump into June" but hadn't come up with something other than J words. I'm hoping to be inspired today!
@olivetreeann Have also been wondering about ideas re a weekly theme and have only come up with mechanical or industrial. I have been trying to think of something that can be interpreted in many ways and not be to resticting.
The abstract week got me thinking it would be fun to do a week about seeing things in other things, dinosaurs in the clouds, kittens in the foam on a mocha, faces in the bark on a tree.
@swamppoodle Awww- look at those eyes!! @salza Great macro Sally! I love the tones of the b/w. @vposey Beautiful shot Vickie! I know the temptation with flowers is to shoot them in color but your choice of b/w here was great! @pandorasecho That is an interesting thought Dixie. I don't know if I could pull off a week of them, but it certainly would be a great wildcard. Then again, they are called "challenges"!
@salza Thanks Sally- that sounds interesting. I'm going to mull that one over, incorporate it somehow and post something either later tonight, or tomorrow. Thanks for getting the wheels turning!
Eep! I hope the new challenge appears soon! It's almost tomorrow here and I don't know what I have to point the camera at yet! :) (No pressure...) heheh!
@alia_801 I did come up with something and posted it this morning (which is tonight where you are! I think!) Any way I gave you a shout out with it, but just in case- it's called 30 days in June. I set it up with daily challenges that go from week to week. I incorporated Sally and Dixie's suggestions from above. I hope it makes sense! I wanted to post it last night, but when I went to do it, the site froze and then "went off the air" for maintenance! So I hope you've seen it because I CAN'T TAKE THE GUILT OF DISAPPOINTING YOU!!!!! lol
