October Rainbow Challenge

September 25th, 2012
I enjoy participating in the challenges that are posted each month and thought it was time I came up with an idea for October.

Thanks to the wonderful ideas from @stuckinoz and @alia_801 and @olivetreeann and @psychographer who collectively have created some great challenges include the Same September challenge and self imposed rainbow challenges, I have decided to dedicate October to the colours of the rainbow. Hopefully you will like this challenge and decide to join in.

The challenge is to take the same colour inspired photo on the same day of the week:

Monday - Red
Tuesday - Orange
Wednesday - Yellow
Thursday - Green
Friday - Blue
Saturday - Pink
Sunday - Purple

At the end of the challenge the thumbnail columns will align. With the exception of taking the same colour photo on the days indicated above there are no set rules to this challenge. Have fun and be as creative as you like.

If you would like to participate tag your photos 'october-rainbow' so that everyone can see how creative you are all being.

Good luck.

ah sounds really cool, i'll definitely try and give this a go! i might need a reminder nearer the time though! :)
September 25th, 2012
I will do it! I need a challenge as I have been lagging behind lately. Red and Orange should be easy around here in October...lol.
September 25th, 2012
Fantastic idea! I've really enjoyed the challenges I've participated in this month and may give the rainbow a go! I wish I had time to do all the challenges that come along!
September 25th, 2012
Yes, yes count me in! Ever since I've seen Janelle's @stuckinoz amazing rainbow week I decided I wanted to do the same for whole month, just to get the pretty thumbnails. I was thinking of suggesting it also. I have some fantastic yellow up the road, hoping all the flowers haven't dropped by the time next wednesday comes!

I've been thinking a rainbow challenge would be fun to do. I"m in.
September 25th, 2012
I did something like this in August and it was really fun, but I need something different this month. I just wanted to say, it was one of the coolest projects I've done here so I hope you have as much fun.

@tulipgirl thanks
September 25th, 2012
Ooh might try - but I'm bound to forget - remind us all on Sunday!
September 26th, 2012
too bad Halloween isn't on a Tuesday!
September 26th, 2012
Now that I've finally got around to having multiple albums I might do this as well as the October opposites challenge :)
September 26th, 2012
Oh cool idea. The column alignment would look fantastic, I can never keep up with these themes though. I don't have the commitment! I will definitely try and give it a go though.
September 29th, 2012
I was looking for an October challenge - thanks!!
September 29th, 2012
I think I will give this a try as my first ever challenge. Wish me luck!
September 29th, 2012
I like it! This will be my very first challenge...wish me luck!
September 29th, 2012
omg, I just saw the comment before mine...I swear I didn't read it before I posted mine!! hehe...
September 30th, 2012
Wow, Ive just completed a roygbiv month - see below. I wonder if I should give it another go? I thoroughly enjoyed doing it and it was made easy by only having to look for colours.
September 30th, 2012
@aurorajane That looks amazing, well done
September 30th, 2012
Im really liking what i see @aurorajane @pandorasecho I think i may give this one a try also!
September 30th, 2012
this sounds like cool thing to do. Seeing the example aurorajane put in made it really click as an idea. I may not succeed but I am going to give this a try.
September 30th, 2012
@giusi Haha! Great minds think alike, no? Good luck to you, then! :)
September 30th, 2012
@nicolecampbell Thanks so much for the reminder!
September 30th, 2012
Thanks for the reminder, I had actually forgotten!
September 30th, 2012
Thanks for the reminder - will def. give this a go.

I've been thinking I might even set myself an extra challenge on the challenge and try and take pics in a given category for each week: Week 1 - Natural World (eg plants, fruit, veg, sky, landscape); Week 2 - Manmade World (eg architecture, street furniture, plastic stuff, technology); Week 3 - Transport (eg cars, buses, trains, bikes); Week 4 - People (and their stuff - clothes, bags, accessories etc); Week 5 (the short week) - Anything goes .... I'm probably being over-ambitious .....

I am going to TRY and take part in this challenge in October. I've been slightly off focus the past couple of months, but I'm gonna try to do this one.....after all, who doesn't LOVE rainbows!
October 1st, 2012

October 1st, 2012
Ready to do both if i can keep up!! @nicolecampbell thanks for the reminder ! I am probably going to do this challenge in my second album..havent decided yet ...i am also going to try the Opposite- october one also! We will see if somehow i can combine the colors with the pic's! Wish me luck
October 1st, 2012
@ellimae I'm trying for the combo too! Will be fun to try to get the colours together - I just hope there isn't an orange in one challenge and a blue in the other on the same day!
October 1st, 2012
I'm in! This will be my first challenge!
October 1st, 2012
@becky_b - how exciting, I can't wait to see your photos.
October 1st, 2012
@ellimae - good luck :)
October 1st, 2012
@sticksandstones - glad you are going to participate.
October 1st, 2012
I am not sure if I am tagging right, can someone advise??

October 1st, 2012
This is so interesting! I'll try & give it a go! ;)
October 1st, 2012
@nicolecampbell thanks for the reminder nicole! day 1 - done! :)
October 1st, 2012
@giusi yep, you've tagged it right! xx
October 2nd, 2012
@nicolecampbell i am going to do this challenge.....and i'm into my 2nd year, but......i cannot figure out how to FIND other photos that have been tagged "october-rainbow". When i search in the search box, it brings up a web search with those words.........HELP! i want to see what others are doing with regards to this challenge
October 3rd, 2012
@sticksandstones - when you do the web search on the left hand side there is a list of headings and one of them is photos. If you click on photos it will bring them all up. Let me know if I need to explain that better for you.
October 3rd, 2012
@nicolecampbell YES......thank you so much.....i got it now!
October 5th, 2012
@nicolecampbell I am also having trouble finding the other October-rainbow photos. I don't see a heading "photos". When I search by tag, all I see is a all the tag words.
October 5th, 2012
@becky_b - Hi Becky, type the words october-rainbow in the search box at the top of this page on the right hand side. When the search appears look on the left hand side of the page and at the top of the column is three or sub headings and the top one is photos. Good luck finding it.
October 9th, 2012
@nicolecampbell hi! i was wondering if you could help me with a problem - really stupid question but i tried a double post yesterday with a photo and it is showing up in the other album but not in this one. how do i get it to show up in this one, too? i don't want there to be a gap in my calendar view. i did tag it for this challenge.
October 10th, 2012
@catsmeowb - hello, I am not quite sure I can help. I think you need to open your photo, click the edit button and choose a different album for the photo. If you took both photos on the same day then you will need to change the date for one of the entries. Hopefully this will help you.
