Street Photography Now Challenge - Week 1

May 7th, 2012
Right guys n gal's, here is the first challenge.

"If you can smell the street by looking at the photo, it's a street photograph" originally set be Bruce Gilden

It is up to yourselves on how you interpret the instruction.

Only 1 photo per person and tag it SPN-1, entries must be taken between now and this coming Sunday (13th)

Next Monday I will choose 5 of my fav's so we can have a vote. The winner of this week will then select his/ her fav's for week 2 and so on.

Also you can follow @spn_challenge so the weekly instructions show in your news feed



All the best, and have fun

Sounds great!
However, it might not smell like that. ^_^
May 7th, 2012
Oooh, that sounds fun - must take a wander with my camera later today....
May 7th, 2012
this should be interesting...let's see if I can find/bump into something this week ;-)

@topazgirltg500 The tag's are shown to the right of your photo when you view it. Its need to be SPN-1, so if you view your photo, then click edit and amend the tags accordingly you should be good.

Jase, ok, I see that is has been tagged. So dumb question...am I posting it to this thread?
May 7th, 2012
@topazgirltg500 Just has a look and the tag is still not quite right, it currently has spn and 1, its needs to be SPN-1 that way we can easily search on all the entries. No need to post it here, well unless you want to :)
May 7th, 2012
Where do we go to post a picture?
May 7th, 2012
@aurorajane You don't, it's just like any other theme or challenge on here and done by tags :)
May 7th, 2012
So, just for the 'newbie' here, I just load onto my calendar as usual and I make sure I use the SPN-1 in the tag section and your able to select the images for the competition from that? wow. Thanks so much.
May 7th, 2012
@aurorajane Yep, you can click on the tag and see all the photo's that way

Jase-thanks! Can u please take gander @ my entry? Is this acceptable? I typed the tag in caps & when I saved it, it converted to lower-case....
May 8th, 2012
It it ok that the picture isn't made this week? 'cause I have made a street picture but that was half a year ago..
May 8th, 2012
@topazgirltg500 Hey, yep the tag is fine. Tags always get converted to lower case, I just did it upper case to make it easier to read. :)
May 8th, 2012
@pien27 No, the idea is to take a shot during the week of the challenge

@38mm - so you say we can submit only one of our pics? If I tag one spn-1 and then within the period find a better one, can I switch it out?
May 9th, 2012
@michaelelliott Yep or course, it will be whatever is tagged when I look on Monday morning

Stumbled upon this Hot Rod show and everyone thought I was a press photographer and my only interest was shots of people :) really proud of this last minute opportunity

To be considered street photography does it actually have to be on the street. For example if a "street performer" were wandering the beaches and performing for tips there would that count?
May 11th, 2012
@38mm -FYI I gave your challenge a shout out on my pic today. I thought there'd be more entries by now? Great idea.
May 11th, 2012
@geocacheking Well if you can make that fit the brief then I don't see why not.
May 11th, 2012
@michaelelliott Cheers dude, cracking shot as wellfella. To be honest there are more then I was expecting, as you often hear on 365 that people don't have the confidence to do street. So I'm hoping that I have inspired a few people to give it a go :)
May 13th, 2012
Some people have put more than one photo - is it just one photo per person? Thanks. Megsy x
May 13th, 2012
@megsy Yeah I saw that as well. It is 1 shot per person, I will need to put a reminder on the new challenge I post tomorrow.
May 13th, 2012
Does the challenge go through tonight, or did it expire at 12:00 a.m. Sunday morning?
May 13th, 2012
@rockinrobyn Nope midnight tonight.
