one subject; 30 shots

March 31st, 2020
April is almost here and most of us are dealing with various forms of restrictions on our activities and excursions into the outside world... so here's something to help get the creative juices flowing... pick a subject, any subject, so long as it is something you will have access to every day during the month of April... and every day, think of a new and different way to take a picture of that subject...

there's no rules here... you can try different photography techniques, different perspectives, different cameras, camera settings and lenses, different processing styles.... the world's your oyster!

this is an exercise in creativity and stick-to-it-iveness...

play along for a couple of days, a week, or the complete month...

tag your photos 30-shots2020

have fun (and remember to wash your hands!)

:) will have a think
March 31st, 2020
Am on it, I think I have my subject nailed down!
March 31st, 2020
Hmmm, count me in for a few days.
March 31st, 2020
Thanks for hosting. I have an idea . . .
March 31st, 2020
Will definitely give this some thought.
@ukandie1 Finn?
March 31st, 2020
@taffy Surprisingly no, though I did think of doing a month of more Finn, but I am going with the rather broad reaching subject of the kitchen, and narrowing each week to a certain subject, raw food, utensils, pots and pans, cutlery, plates, baking, veg etc etc, plenty to pick from. Not very original, but most of all I am looking forward to starting a project that encourages me to pick up my camera and not lean on my phone!

thanks @northy for bringing this back...hoping to make it all 30 days!
March 31st, 2020
I think I have my subject chosen :)
March 31st, 2020
Thanks for taking this on - with organising home preschool work and being there for those who turn up my brain is a bit frazzled haha - I will definitely join in - hmm now to think of the subject
March 31st, 2020
Thanks for reminder, I'm going for a theme- cutlery
March 31st, 2020
Great, that you’re going to host this challenge! I’m thinking and thinking and thinking of a suitable subject. Last year I did a whole month about our black dinner table chairs. Pfew ;) Now I’m contemplating about my closet or the vacuum cleaner. Mmmmm...
March 31st, 2020
that's a hard one, as I won't do a koala, I better get cracking with ideas!
March 31st, 2020
@taffy I’m thinking that this may be the time I photograph my home library. I can’t believe in all these years I’ve never photographed it.
March 31st, 2020
Would like to have a try but feel it needs to be a narrow subject for purpose - but how to choose that subject?!
March 31st, 2020
I think I might give this a go, what with lockdown and all.
March 31st, 2020
I'm going to go a little wide with "techniques", and I'll get to play with photos I've already taken and review techniques I've learned in the past and since forgotten the details. This will be a fun month! Thank you for organizing.
March 31st, 2020
I'll give it a go! THANKS!
March 31st, 2020
I've picked a room and the sub theme of the alphabet- although I'm not sure I'll stick to that. First time in a long time I'll be doing something like this! Thanks for starting it up.
March 31st, 2020
@jyokota Brilliant idea, and you could do wide angle up to macros with the range of objects in there. You could even break it into weekly themes since you've got architecture, books, 'toys' (or even further you could break those into puppets, stuffies, figurines, etc.). I think you would have a good month or more to keep you going, and it also could end up as a coffee table book or Flickr album at least or something that would archive that amazing space.

@taffy -- thx for the tips!
April 1st, 2020
Perfect, I have 25 pictures from my den...if the sun shines again in April, I can take 5 more :) Thanks for hosting.
April 1st, 2020
Stick-to-it-iveness is my problem but I think it is a lovely idea. I will enjoy the pictures I will be seeing.
April 1st, 2020
Thanks for the challenge. I'm happy to participate, but will expand the topic a little for me. I want to make my life easier and not more complicated. I choose the object cellulose (paper - cardboard) in the broadest sense. So for me, the subject could range from toilet paper (yes, we still have some), over folded brochures to an easter molded pulp egg carton. However, I will try to implement this with different techniques, lenses and cameras, so that it asks for creativity and remains a challenge for me.

@mona65 your project... your rules! Go for it!
April 1st, 2020
This a something at first I thought might be difficult, but as I look around I see it can be lots of fun. Found my item! Will be posting it this morning!
April 1st, 2020
Thanks northy! I have never done this challenge as it happens during National Poetry Month, but I think I can manage this year. As we are quarantined for another month, I think I will focus on my kitchen counter.
April 1st, 2020
@northy Sounds like fun. I'm in! :)
April 1st, 2020
A great topic for isolation. I take the challenge.
April 1st, 2020
Looking forward to participating! Thanks for organizing @northy!
April 2nd, 2020
Thanks so much. This will be a great opportunity for me to jump back in.
April 2nd, 2020
@jyokota I did this challenge a few years ago with my stereo cabinet* and found it endlessly fun. I'm looking forward to seeing your library!

April 2nd, 2020
I'm up for this! And my subject will be ........ eggs! 🥚
April 2nd, 2020
@northy, Please put me on the list. I will try to do this because I need to come back to my photo routine, and practice more. I am not quite sure yet what to pick as an object...
April 2nd, 2020
I've posted 2, so count me in.
April 3rd, 2020
Hi northy, can I join on day 3??
April 3rd, 2020
This is a great excuse to shoot more of the Stormtroopers or the Mandalorians hmm...
April 3rd, 2020

Please add me to the list, if not too late?
