How about a weekly photo.

[foulshot]

I've seen some of the photography sites that have a weekly type photo essay. I thought it would be kinda cool to get us all to look for something in common and share pics.

What does everybody else think?

 

[Ironwood]

Foulshot... I'm not sure there would be enough response to make it worthwhile, but I'm game if others are also.

What's this weeks topic?

 

[Pasco]

Sounds interesting...I think a topic will get me to take more pics...What is it this week?

 

[leod]

Not sure what all is required, but sounds good to me

I'm in. Basically it's an assigment like take pics in black & white of trees or color pics of landscapes etc. Then we can critique our work to help get better pics.

Homework in other words.

Somebody please pick a subject.

I am in also.

How about this for this weeks subject - Insects.

 

[Ironwood]

Insect sounds good to me. Let's go for it.

Wow! When I saw the topic for this week might be instects I went out back looking for some bugs. I'm sure glad I did too. I discovered a hive of bees in a hollow tree near my house. Since we have the African Killer Bees in this area I called the Police and they are sending a man out. More to follow I'm sure...

 

[Pasco]

All right, bugs it is. Happy hunting!

 

[foulshot]

Bugs sounds great to me. Sorry I didn't get back in quicker, but it's been very busy around the household this past few days.

How bout a deadline of June 30, that gives everybody the weekend to find some critters. Happy Hunting!

That's not fair . . . I just sprayed around the house this weekend. Oh well, I'll just have to try that much harder.

 

[BuckSnort]

Good idea foulshot!

I think this will be pretty cool.

I'm in

Insects eh? I looked all day and only saw one thing that came close, my division boss. He kinda looks like a preying mantiss when he's in a bad mood and he was hopping today.

To the hunt

I visit a photography msg. board that does something similar on a larger scale. They actually call it a "challenge" and you will have about 2 wks to get a certain type of photo (B&W landscape, a portrait, etc) and then everyone votes on their favorite and you can't vote for your own. Anyway, I know that this forum isn't big enough for that and voting is probably unnecessary.

Anyway, it sounds good to me. I'm in.

 

[leod]

Any guidelines on how and when to post these pic,s??

Individual threads or just one and all post to it???

what do you think

[wvhunter]

I don't visit this forum very often but I will give it a shot also.

 

[TxCowboy]

Leod, I'll throw in my 2 cents.....

I think the easiest way to do it would be to have one thread with all the photos in it. Each person could post their own photo in the thread to make it easy.

One thing I've seen in other places that do this, is to not allow chit-chat, comments, or critiques in the photo thread. That way the actual photo thread stays "clutter free" and it's easier to view the photos etc. Make sense? Just a thought on what I've seen before.

 

[Ironwood]

Let's not make this to complicated. Just keep it simple and we can all learn something. Post a photo on the subject and let everyone discuss it. Good points, bad points, and what each of us would do to improve the photo.

 

[Eric Mayer]

I will go ahead and post the weekly challenge a week before it starts, then start a new thread for that challenge.

So, it looks like insects for this week, any ideas for next week? It can be a theme as well.

Let me know.
