one subject April...

[☠northy]

some years ago someone started a theme for the month of April of photographing the same thing every day... i can't recall who that was, but as no one else was leading the charge last year i started a thread and quite a few of you decided to join me... We're coming up on April again, and i'm set to play - anyone else?

the deets:

pick a subject, any subject, so long as it is something you will have access to every day during the month of April (last year I picked my bedroom window - blame COVID!)...

think of a new and different way to take a picture of that subject every day...

that's it... there are no other rules! 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-shots2021

the most important part is to have fun!

[Laura]

I was wondering about a pack of picture cards or a gift box you are decorating. Would they be allowed?

[☠northy]

@la_photographic your project, your rules... go with whatever inspires you! 🙂

[Liz Milne]

I've been thinking I'd make my cat Precious my subject this year. I take enough photos of her :)

[katy]

I might give it a go! It was fun last year!

[Lisa Poland]

I need to start thinking about my one subject.

[Sally Ings]

This challenge help keep my phojo alive last year when we were in hard lockdown. Think I will do it again this year. Might choose a portable object as we have a tad more freedom this year.

[JackieR]

Last year I did cutlery! It was such fun.

This year I'll do " In or From my Kitchen" !

There's someone I follow called northy who I might nick ideas from!

[Annie D]

It was me who started it...or continued it when someone left...one or the other hahahahaha...I forgot a couple of years ago and you and maybe someone else in between picked it up.....glad you did :)

[Lesley]

Ooh I’ve never done this before. Thinking....🤔

[Annie-Sue]

I did my desk - but I also did a month of walls - I'll have a little think! :-) I like @salza's idea of a portable thing - but I do that anyway, so I'd have to double up

[Annie-Sue]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I was momentarily thinking of skies/clouds from my windows - or from outside my house

[Marloes]

@annied Haha, yes, I know. When you hosted (2019) I picked a black chair and that triggered me to think out of the box, for sure ;) It was great fun!

[Marloes]

@northy Great! Last year I joined this challenge, hosted by you, with Mr. Jones, my one and only vacuum cleaner ;) It was such fun and sometimes Mr . Jones brought me in compromising situations (that one time when he sucked up my T-shirt that I was wearing). Thanks for hosting and bringing this challenge up again, Northy!

[Marloes]

@northy So, I'm in :))) Thinking, thinking about a new challenging subject....

[JackieR]

@stimuloog I remember Mr Jones' month!!!!

[Marloes]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond 😜

[Nada]

This sounds simultaneously scary, daunting, full of possibility, and exciting. I need to think if I am up for the commitment.

[Susan Wakely]

Contemplating, cogitating and considering 🤔. My brain is currently discombobulated thinking of ideas. Could be fun.

[☠northy]

@njmom3 hey - no need to angst about commitment... pick a subject and do one day... and then decide if you'll do a second day... and decide again about a third day... if you do it, you do it... if you don't, you don't! no harm, no foul 🙂

[Ann H. LeFevre]

My grandson Isaac just asked me how the "Lego Photo Club" was doing. I see a fun combo happening here!

[Nada]

@northy But I do angst so well!

[☠northy]

@njmom3 oh... well then... far be it from me to interfere with your angst-fest 🤣

[Nada]

@northy 😂😂😂

[J A Byrdlip]

Many moons ago, I wish someone had had this thread as I started about 45 days (maybe more) before I retired and took a picture of the sky every time I left the office. It was interesting.

[Wendy]

I almost got this done a couple of years ago when I walked to our old driveshed in the back. Will try it again with my garden(s) ... they should provide enough interest!

[Richard Sayer]

@northy I'm in again but, as yet, I have no ideas for a subject!

[Jacqueline]

@northy I’m in, still thinking of a subject though.

[judith deacon]

Sounds fun, first think of a subject - Mmmm!

[Kim]

I chose my deck in 2017, my Bradford pear tree in 2019, and did a partial month with an umbrella last year. I'm contemplating ideas for this year.

[Jason]

I’ll give it some serious thought, I did my shutters a couple of years ago.

[Gerasimos Georg.]

Sounds interesting!
I don't think i can do it for the whole month but maybe for a few days

[Dixie Goode]

This sounds interesting. I am thinking of either a box I can set up scenes in, or along the deck of cards idea, maybe the “one” thing would be old photographs shot as part of the same location they were originally from. Not sure I have that kind of energy.

[Jennie B.]

Last year was the first for me and I did my blue KitchenAid mixer, it was so much fun!
Trying to think of a good subject for this year.........

[Ivo]

OK, I will join it. Hopefully my ideas take more than a few days.

[Phil Sandford]

Could I play please?

[☠northy]

@phil_sandford of course! Anyone can play!

[Annie D]

picked my subject

[Hazel]

I've started PinkApril21 and most of my ideas are indoor objects so I might stretch a point and also tag them for this challenge under 'pink at home'?!

[Hope D Jennings]

I think I will try photographing my cat Harry in a variety of ways at least for a week.

[m.taylor]

This will be fun. I chose my hiking boots as my subject. I hope I'm up to this challenge. Something totally different for me. Good luck, everyone. How do you post a photo in the forums?

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@mtaylor nice starting photo! when you view your photo beside the photo count is a share button - cope the share code and paste it into a reply here and your photo will display 😊
welcome to 365 I hope you love it here

[KoalaGardens🐨]

I'm in again - I realised last year I used a toy koala I named JordanT (for Jordan toy). we had all just gone into lockdown and I had ordered a box full and markets were shut down. It ended up with koalas being flown all around the world and a lot of unexpected fun.
So I'm going to feature another one of these koalas this month. It is so outside my comfort zone to photograph these kinds of things that it just might do me a lot of good!

[Francoise]

I'm in again too. This year, I'm going to do my vegetable garden rather than a single object.
