31 Shots for March

[Annie D]

A couple of years ago I completed a 31 shots challenge - the idea of this challenge is to take a month’s worth of shots of the same thing. I chose a flowering plant in my garden - and am going to choose a flowering gum for this challenge. People chose a range of different things last time.

The original post is here - http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/21288/31-shots-march-challenge

The photos from last time are here - https://365project.org/tags/31-shots?page=5

I am going to tag my shots 31-shots2017

I would love people to join in!


Thank you to those who are joining in - fabulous ideas and fun photos!

a collage of my shots from March 2014

@annied This sounds quite interesting; I believe that it would definitely help me to look at mundane objects in a different light if I can just decide what would make a good subject! Thanks for posting the links to see what has been done in previous years.

To participate, do we just tag our pics throughout the month of March, or do we post in this thread?

[Annie D]

@dsp2 I thought we could use the tag 31-shots2017

[Annie D]

@dsp2 we can post here too of course

[Debs Stott]

@annied Sounds really challenging Annie, so may give it a go. I will put my thinking cap on today and tomorrow to see if I can find an object that doesn't move.

[Dinah Pinkston]

@annied Thanks! Using the tag sounds good; it will make it easy to see everyone's pics at a glance.

[Annie D]

@dibzgreasley last time I think some went as broad as an alley/space...I remember enjoying it ☺

[Newbank Lass]

Ooohhhh I like it.

[Jorlam]

@annied Thanks Annie, i'll give it a go.. this will be really challenging for me..

[Hazel]

I'm just about to breathe a sigh of relief after flashofred2017 (I have enjoyed it, too) so I'll have a think about this. Sounds interesting - if I can hack it!

[Mel]

@annied That's an amazing array of shots from just one subject! I don't know if I'd be able to squeeze as much variety out of a single subject, but very interested in the idea of extending it to a space as you mentioned above :)

[Martina]

It sound interesting and challenging. I would really love to do it once. I am not sure I am ready for that, and I have decided to do the rainbow in march this year, but I will follow this challenge posts because I really, really love the idea.

[JackieR]

Sounds interesting, Annie, but think going to do Rainbow theme in March along with March words and get pushes!!! Shall follow your March with interest.

[Annie D]

@dsp2 @dibzgreasley @newbank @jorlam @quietpurplehaze @m2016 @cherrymartina
thanks for the interest guys.... I will be choosing different photo techniques and settings but will also use processing to add interest - I look forward to seeing pics from those who join in

[Clare Gadsby]

i do like the sound of this. have to settle on a subject though ?!!!?????

[Annie D]

@pistache you can be liberal with your choice I think :)

[Clare Gadsby]

just checked out your collage, annie - what an amazing collection of shots :)

[Debs Stott]

Annie, I've finally chosen a subject that I think might work, after a couple of failed ideas. So I am in! First shot posted...

[Debs Stott]

1st shot, setting the scene

[Annie D]

@dibzgreasley excellent ☺

[Diane]

really cool idea!

[Annie D]

@bellasmom fabulous - have fun

[Dina Rich]

@annied I forgot it needed to be same thing photographed. Mine will be different mailboxes, so won't fit the theme.

[Annie D]

@bellasmom join anyway....I am not fussy......last time someone chose an alley which is pretty broad anyway....☺

[Annie D]

I am photographing my flowering gum :)

[jackie edwards]

giving it a try with my cross ring...thanks for starting the challenge Annie! @annied

[Annie D]

@jackies365 oooh that will be interesting Jackie - I look forward to seeing your images :)

[Annie D]

this gum has beautiful pink flowers

[Jorlam]

@annied 'Pink' just doesn't seem to describe the vibrant colour seen here, beautiful against that deep blue of the sky..

[Jorlam]

@dibzgreasley this looks like it may be mighty interesting, look forward to the unfolding month as we see more..

[Jorlam]

Here is my first shot - not a fixed/static object but one i'm happy to use and just hope i manage 31 shots of it..

[Annie D]

@jorlam true...they are much more than pink

[Mel]

I'm jumping on board, my subject will be my kitchen sink lol
Day 1


Day 2

[Annie D]

@m2016 ha ha yay! how interesting :)

[Kathryn]

I'll play. Since I've already taken lots of pictures of my stove, I'm going to see what I can do with the "Audio Center" (really a hand-me-down dresser that's great for holding CDs)...not that we're good at putting them away.

[Annie D]

@houser934 fabulous!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I am doing the Silver Maple tree in my back yard. This is day 18.

[Annie D]

@mittens so glad you joined in...will check it out today

[Jorlam]

@tskipper many thanks Tami for your lovely comments, so much appreciated. :-) apologies for the late acknowledgement..

[Annie D]

@gigiflower @catsmeowb @dibzgreasley @genealogygenie
@dsp2 @jackies365 @jorlam @cruiser @m2016 @houser934
@barneyone @lynnz @mittens @skipt07 @bizziebeeme

[Sam]

@annied YAY!!!!!!!

[Annie D]

@gigiflower hahahahahahaha

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I think I'm going to make it. At least I hope so. :)

[Dinah Pinkston]

@annied This has been more challenging than I expected, but I have enjoyed it and am hopeful that I will finish the 31 days! Thank you, annied for letting us know about this fun challenge!

[Annie D]

@mittens I am sure you will :)

[Annie D]

@dsp2 I am pleased you've enjoyed it :)

[Jorlam]

@annied This has been quite an intense exercise. emotions rising with elation when something worked straight off, to frustration when it didn't.. learning work- arounds becomes second nature when practised enough..
i will be on the look-out for a suitable substitute for the statue, for next time...
Annie this has been brilliant, thank you for organising it and for being there with your encouragement.

[Annie D]

@jorlam you're most welcome - I am thrilled you have enjoyed the challenge and have thoroughly enjoyed your images

[Kathryn]

@annied So now that we are almost done...do we have suggestions on how to feature all this hard work? I'd really like to go back and look at what others have done with the challenge. Posting a calendar shot? Linking our favorite of the month? Is there a traditional way to celebrate and share?

[Annie D]

@houser934 I am going to start a thread tomorrow - I did a collage kast rime...the one at the top of this thread...will tag everyone when I get the new thread going ☺
