We're not all doing all of them. I'd like to improve my portrait skills this year so going to try the ideas out. Week 1 self portrait.....SOOOOOOO not my strength. Week 52 is also a self portrait, apparently I will have improved by then. Phew you won't have to see my face for another year!
You look contemplative!
Oh how weird, I have just been looking at the same challenge. I have also decided to do some of the weeks, but I haven't decided if I'll do this first week yet! I shall be following your group to see what you come up with, should be fun!
@dibzgreasley i think the plan for our group is to do the artistic ones as a group. Im planning on pushing myself to do the portraits. I suck so completely at landscspes that i might just get disheartened!! Ill be keeping an eye out for your images. Im looking at my camera screen! The others i took are horrendous!!
@newbank
You are good at portraits, especially of your boys. I'm not so great at them, so am thinking definitely about the artistic ones and maybe some of the landscapes to push myself there. In my opinion, taking a selfie is always horrendous - I hate it, but try is occasionally when I'm feeling good about how I look!
Good to see you, Ruth! I like the gentle b&w and your look of concentration. I agree with Debs @dibzgreasley about your portraits of your boys, and I think that you find such interesting angles and points of view when you're shooting them, which is surely harder with a candid shot than a set-up one? And many thanks for the link - I think I'm going to have a go :)
@pistache eldest will pose but only just gets concept of stillness. 99.9 % of my shots of my boys are candid and as life is. 1% of what i shoot is worth using! Loads and loads of duds! Look forward to seeing your journey through the year too.
Thanks for the link to the 52 week project... I may try some ideas within it, too. I dislike my own selfies, so good for you to have a go! This is very muted and discreet. Very nice.
Nice selfie Ruth. You've been very clever here in hiding part of your face, using B&W, not looking at the camera and using shadows to your advantage. Well done you!
Wow, you are so good at jumping into the hard challenges first. Well done on taking a selfie. I'd love to say I'm going to follow suit, but I don't think so!
I think this is a great selfie. I don't want to wait a year to see not her great selfie! I suppose I shall have to benefit from 'delayed gratification!'
I think this turned out great - love how the bottom of your face is obscured and how you're not looking at the camera. It really adds to the overall feeling of the shot.
Your boy portraits are so god so you shouldn't be nervous. I think we are so critical of our own selfie, no one ever happy with how they look! I like this one!
From what I can see f it, this looks like a very nice face. But I feel as you do about selfies. Whenever anyone (family, friends) says that they never see pictures of me, I tell them that I am in every shot I ever made, just on the other side of the camera.
Just a reminder - if you want your entries to show up among the ones submitted by other 365-ers who want to attempt the 52-week challenge, tag this week's one as 52wc-2016-w1. The landscape will be 52wc-2016-w2 for week 2. Just a reminder :)
