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 i started this challenge up in April 2020 and then again in April 2021... 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... in 2020 I picked my bedroom window (blame COVID!)... and then last year i picked a game piece i named "secret agent man"...

anyhoo, pick a subject and then think of a new and different way to take a picture of if 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-shots2022

the most important part is to have fun!

[Nada]

I'll play. I did water as the subject last year. Need to think - or really way overthink and mull over - for this year.

Thank you for taking on the organization!

[J A Byrdlip]

I'm in

[Lesley]

Ooh I like the idea of this. I’m off to put my thinking cap on.

[Annie D]

I think it was me quite a few years ago, can't remember if I carried on from someone else hahaha - was just thinking about it last night trying to remember who had been doing the last couple. I'm in - just have to find a subject :)

[Annie D]

This was my collage when I did it in March 2014 - Mace ran it that year - she hasn't been around since 2014

[summerfield]

oh, goodie! i did the toilet paper in 2020, first time i did the one subject april challenge and last year i picked, quite randomly in my desire to participate, what was in front of me at the time - the bamboo plant. wonder what i can do for this year. i have no phojo nor mojo or any 'jo' at the mo. (that rhymes although horribly, non?) but i will play.

[Liz Milne]

I'm in too, have already been thinking about what to use as my subject this year. I've already done my garden shed, my Teddy bear and last year Precious was my model. Haven't made a decision for this year yet.

[Larry L]

I enjoyed this last years, will plan to play again this year. As long as I can think of a decent subject!

Thanks for hosting!

[Kathy A]

I did this a few years ago and did flowers, I cheated a bit by posting a different flower each day but it was the best I could come yo with. If I think of something I will join in this year

[ClearDay]

Oh, this was fun last year. I'm in ... just need to think of a subject

[JackieR]

I did cutlery in 2020 and then my kitchen last year. I'll join in this year, think i have a subject , whereabouts is that lodger cat??!

[Sharon Lee]

I think I have an idea...

[Renee Salamon]

I’m very new to this but think I might have a go

[Petespost]

Yes it sounds a great, count me in. Just have to put my thinking cap on

[Lin]

This was great fun the year I participated. I'm in.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I did this back in March 2017 and used my tree in the backyard. It was fun but challenging. I think the original one was started by Mace and the one I did in 2017 was started by Annie D. I'm not sure I'll do it this year but I'll have to think about it. https://365project.org/mittens/365/2017-04-01

[mittens (Marilyn)]

@northy Is the subject allowed to be moveable or does it have to be a fixed object. When I first did it, the rules said it had to be an object that can't be moved around.

[☠northy]

@mittens your project…. Your rules! 🙂…. If you want the extra challenge of an immovable object - go for it! But I didn’t bother with that restriction…. And really - it’s only for bragging rights so “you do you”!

[JackieR]

@mittens Marilyn I did my kitchen last year, objects from, in and around. Year before - items of cutlery 🍴!! No idea yet what to do this year!!

[amyK]

Last year I used a large jar of caramel creams….pretty sure my cardiologist (& my dentist for that matter) would prefer I made a better choice this year! Will see what I can come up with; it is definitely challenging.

[Susan Wakely]

Where did that year go. I got to know my grandfather clock very well last year.

[Yao RL]

This is my year to do it!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

@northy @30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you for clarifying it and good to know.

[Kim]

I'm in but only 4 days to decide on a subject . . . !!

[JackieR]

@wakelys that was a great subject!

[Petespost]

@northy I'd like to use the subject. the stuff in my shed

[Di]

Question: is the subject supposed to be one thing or item in particular like someone said a teddy bear or a particular plant which would be the same everyday or is it a general subject like cars, which could be different cars each day? Thanks

[Daisy Miller]

I think I will choose "Spring" as my subject, as I need some Spring photos.

[Dixie Goode]

In again. Last year I was doing PinkApril too so I did a pink poodle beanie baby. Need to think of a subject I’ll have fun with this year.

[Christina]

I have never joined in any themes or competitions but I think it's time. I will do my dog as it's school holidays mid-April and I need something I can shot while on holiday. I hope this is ok?

[☠northy]

@christinav absolutely fine! Your project, your rules! The only important thing is that you have fun!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

I will play but in a theme way not a single subject, I'm going to do birds

[Maggiej]

Think I’m going to try it. I need this to get my brain into gear every morning. Thanks

[Jason]

Count me in, really enjoyed previous years thank you

[Juan B.]

I’ll try. I’m not sure of all days but almost all month

[Phil Sandford]

I did our Magnolia tree last year, which was decimated by the frosts we had.

[Stephomy]

The chickadees just moved into my birdhouse, so maybe I can document my new neighbors.

[Larry L]

Well, I missed yesterday, but I have an idea, and a start. I'll plan to backfill something for yesterday.

[Larry L]

I posted today's photo on instagram, and decided to tag it #30shots2022. If anybody else is on Instagram... and posts their photos... and wants to tag 'em... join me!

[Wylie]

I've enjoyed B&W Feb, and rainbow march. A bit late but I think I'll give this one a go to! thx @northy

[Antonio-S]

I chose the theme "Shadows" for this interesting challenge in April.

[Ray C]

I'm in, "trains" will be the theme for me this month. I've missed the first two days but will start today.

[Marloes]

@northy Oh boy, I totally forgot about this challenge that I've enjoyed for three years :) Last years subject was a facemask, the year before a vacuum cleaner and the first one was a black chair! All great fun and challenging indeed. Hmmm, bit late now...

[Wylie]

I've not done this before, but it looks like fun so I'll jump in. My obvious subject is the cat. I always take loads of pics of him, but now suddenly, he looks boring....:(

[KoalaGardens🐨]

what a month, it flew by
