Challenges?

September 22nd, 2010
When I first found this site, Sarah had the Alphabet Challenge going - where each day's photo represents a letter. I only signed up a few months later, though, so my question is, anyone have any ideas for more we could try; be it for a fortnight or month or what have you?

I posted the thread for Young Me/Now Me. I think there is enough interest that we could try and make it a challenge. Not that I think we could do it every single day obviously but maybe do something like have everyone work on it and then post on the same day. I know that I really enjoy the challenges and think that the alphabet and numbers challenges really helped me grow. =)

Annie - why don't you pose one for us?
September 22nd, 2010
I like the Young Me / Now Me one :) but yeah it's pretty much a once-off deal, unless you're feeling really nostalgic :D

Erm, alright... I'll have to think about this one :)

The daily shoot has daily challenges. You could do them for a week or month, whatever. http://www.dailyshoot.com/

I follow Daily Shoot some days - I have an album on Facebook titled The Daily Shoot.

How abouuuuut numbers - maybe 12 minimum... same way the ABC worked, except without actually photographing the number in print. As in, for day one, shoot one object AND, here's the kicker, in only one take. Thus, day two - two... things in the shot... which you may photograph twice and pick the best of the two.

Or is that too complicated?

As a sideline, one of may co-worker's daughter started college classes this morning, a tradition that has being going on is the first day of school photo. With the tech that we have now, she received a first-day-of-class photo a little while ago. That would be an interest set of photos to see, if you would be willing to share, your children's first day of school photos.

What about shooting stuff that is unique to the country or area that you live in. I always like to see what objects look like in other countries. An example of this would be letterboxes, churches...
Perhaps the A-Z challenge with that in mind :)

@vanya

I LOVE that! Okay, I'm going to do that :)
I'll start tomorrow! (I would tonight but it's late :P)
September 22nd, 2010
Vanya - thats a great idea! Count me in! What do we start with?
September 22nd, 2010
A :D haha

Let's tag 'em "home-a" etc
September 22nd, 2010
Hmmmm .... good idea. It's using the alphabetic with a specific theme. So, tagged "Home-A, Home-B, Home-C, ... Home-Z" Is there a timeline?

Does it have to be one each day? Can I incorporate it into what I already do?

Black and White Wednesdays!!!

Pretty self explanitory. Ive been doing it for the last month or two.
September 23rd, 2010
@ddstates i like the idea.... =)
September 23rd, 2010
I like the idea A-Z too from our country :) count me in too! :)
September 23rd, 2010
Hoorah, I made a thread for it :D keep the ideas coming for more challenges, guys and gals :)

What about this: the first 370 words of 1984 on Flickr. More about it here

I like the idea of writing a story (or copying one) in photos =)

Fantastic idea, Mike! Should we make it a month-long thing by perhaps using a chorus from a song? There are loads of possibilities.
September 25th, 2010
That's a good idea - a year is a pretty long project. Achorus from a song is a great idea =)
September 25th, 2010
Hoorah :D I'm in, but probably only after I finish A-Z :)

I'll do something smaller to fill space once I finish, mid October, so I can start November 1st :)
September 25th, 2010
OH OH OH and in December, we should totally do a "12 Days of (our) Christmas" challenge :D
September 26th, 2010

September 26th, 2010
Your own rules! :) Go for it!
September 26th, 2010
You could do a rainbow challenge for a week--a photo of something(s) red orange yellow green blue indigo & violet.
