Hi,
I am relatively new here, but am loving it. It is my birthday next month and would like to spend the month on a particular theme/project rather than the random photos I have been taking so far. Anyone got any ideas that would challenge (but not too much!) a 'learner?'
Thanks.
In June many of us did a gratitude challenge. It was a great challenge and really uplifting. It might be especially appropriate if you are in the U.S. (Thanksgiving)
Many people here have done an A-Z challenge. You photograph something with the letters of the alphabet. I did it from July 28 - August 22. It was good for inspiration when I was struggling, but not especially meaningful.
Some people have done self portrait challenges. They take some type of self portrait each day or a month. I recently saw someone do this for his birthday month though I can't remember specifically who to give you a link.
Just some suggestions. I'm sure others can suggest lots more. There are always new challenges here at 365.
This was done back in June, but could be perfect for a birthday month of November in America. You can do a month of gratitude or thanks. Take a photo of something you are thankful or grateful for each day. That way the photo subject makes you happy, you will feel positive about each photo and have a theme that has a bit of flexibility.
Other themes done here
-A photo for each letter of the Alphabet (A-Apple, B-Boredom, C-Caring etc.)
-Colors (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, Purple) assign each day, and then your month calendar will be a rainbow
-Black and white
Hi and welcome to 365!
You could also do Black & White pictures for the month. Or take an object and have it in your pic each day, for example a toy or a small rock etc. The A-Z challenge as Hope ( @herussell ) suggested, is a good one, I'd like to try that myself sometime! Street shots of strangers/buildings are always great to see too. Have fun choosing!
In August, I did a abstract challenge. I uploaded an abstract photo for every day of the month and I had so much fun and learned so much about editing. I use Picnik for editing. It is free...check it out.
