5 B&W photos in 5 days

[davidc]

The latest "thing" doing the rounds on Facebook is a photography challenge. Simply put, you take 5 photos in 5 consecutive days and present one each day in black & white. On facebook, you then nominate someone else to participate each day like some kind of bizarro photography Ponzi-scheme. I'm not suggesting we do that.

However, setting a goal/deadline can be very useful for inspiring creativity & as both Mike & I will attest, having others doing the same project at the same time enhances the experience for both/all.

I'm wondering about starting this on Sunday 16th Nov, running until Thurs 20th, and as well as sharing the results, posting a little story behind the shot.

Would anyone be interested in joining me?

Sounds an interesting mini-project, Im in

[davidc]

Excellent stuff! Come on everyone! 5 days!

Social sites are not my cup of tea.

If you are going to do it in the forum than add me to the list.

As it happens I have already organised a variety of shoots on Sunday, Monday & Thursday. I only need to fit Tuesday & Wednesday to make your five day meal.

[davidc]

Yes, just to clarify, I was proposing ignoring the Facebook aspect and simply replicating the project here. We can take inspiration from the idea without needing to actually use facebook

Excellent, three signed up - who's next?

[Mike Farley]

I'm in as well. Not sure what I am going to shoot, but that's half the fun working something out or looking for opportunities on the day.

4 now in, excellent

Still not too late to take part, c'mon everyone

[Peter Boughton]

Specifically B&W or any monochrome?

[davidc]

The original idea was b&w but I personally don't mind. If shooting sepia scenes is what you want to do then by all means go for it.

[Mike Farley]

That is consistent with the definition in the club's rules for the annual monochrome competition.
