Hello!
We spent a pretty fun day over in Devonport looking at investment properties with my friend Rachel.
Again – nothing new on the home front 🙂
Still, nice to drag a few vegetables out of both the garden and freezer to make up dinner & watch a movie or two in the evening – and generally catch up with a good friend!
Just thought I would mention that I am running a new photo challenge via facebook late November. The group has been created now with a new list of subjects to photograph – its a closed group, but anyone interested in joining in, please let me know in the comments below and I will send you out an email with a link. You would be most welcome!
Basic Outline
There is a list of ten subjects that group members go out and take photos of. As an easy example – the first subject is “Pink” People go and take a bunch of photographs with pink in them, choose their best/favourite shot and upload it into the “Pink Album” on day one.
It continues on for ten days, a new album & subject opening each day to contribute to. My contributions to the last challenge can be seen here
Once all participating members have filled an album, everyone gets to vote for their favourite images.
At the end, the person with the most points wins a prize (usually some home made jam/relish and something knitted)(All from Norwich House of course!)
While the competition aspect of it is fun, its mostly developed into a nice little community of people who enjoy photography – experienced and beginners -that come together for a couple of weeks, get creative, make friends and maybe even learn some extra photography skills, or impart some of their own knowledge.
Its very relaxed – there are some rules of course, but mostly just commonsense ones.
Hope everybodys weekend is pretty fabulous!
Cheers!
Very much a beginner but would love to try. Dianne from Florida, USA
Awesome! I will be sending you an email later today with info, so keep an eye out!! 🙂
I would like to give your photo challenge a try!
I am afraid of my camera– way too much camera for me!
My husband purchased Light Room for me, but, I have never used it!
But…your last photo challenge was very interesting & I can’t wait to see what you come up with this time around!
Thats awesome Jean – I’ll send you an email. I also have lightroom and no idea how to use it!! lol – I need someone to hold my hand and walk me through it – or take a course!! I use a few basic photoshop tools (colour, density & contrast) and sometimes fool about with Fusion (which was a free download and was easy to wrap my head around without weeks of learning!) – anyway, keep an eye out for an email! 🙂
