    another challenge?

    What if we pick one day a week and try to only do photos other than portraits, weddings and seniors. Landscapes, still lifes, etc., something different. |c

    i'd say: you brought it up, you run it :}

     Pick a day and challenge, let the people decide!

    Re: another challenge?

     How about Still Life Sunday?

    Then you pick at least one item that has to be in the shot. 

    like a bottle, or an apple, glasses, a book... 

    whatever

    OMG...I would LOVE this. It would spawn my creative edge...
    It is typical for me to respond to initial posts before "reading" on...this way my initial thoughts aren't skewed by others'...but after that...rest assured, I have read them all!

    I don't want to get into assignments just a day where people do other than the regular seniors, weddings, kids, portraits. I am selfish since I don't shoot that stuff, I want to see more other stuff. |c

    Re: another challenge?

    OK, so the challenge is to on either Sat/Sun shoot something OTHER than people.  Am I getting this right?  Do we have a theme like Shelley suggested or just anything besides people? 

    I really like this idea... it keeps the brain working and pushes a lot of us outside our boxes.

    Re: another challenge?

    It looks like Sunday is the day of choice. Let's just keep it simple with no topic, I think we have that in the contest, stuff other than the normal people photography that most of the people do. |c

    Re: another challenge?

    Shoot anytime you want, even go back through images you shot in the past. The idea is to post and talk about images other than the regular people stuff.

    How does "Something Else Sunday" sound for a name? If everyone starts their subject with "SES" then we will all know which images are in this group and we can look at them. I will do a new post called Something Else Sunday and ask John or Matt to put it at the top so it stays there. How does that sound? |c

    I love this idea! I loved doing the ABC Challenge, and was pretty bummed when it ended, but this will really be a lot like that one.

    Thanks Cort!
