Photography stuff
Jan. 6th, 2011 12:23 amOne of the items on my 101 things list was to enter a photo centric contest. I was going to mark that off with the I Heart Faces one, but I realize now that it's just a popularity contest and I really intended that item to be something juried. I don't know how to find a juried photo contest that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to enter, and is for amateurs. Tips on that from fellow photogs would be nice if you have them.
But I really do want to take more pictures this year. My craft forum is running a fun photo scavenger hunt challenge that I would love to participate in and I guess I should just for the hell of it but there's no way I can get all the pictures what with that whole pesky impending birth thing. LOL
But it's got me thinking. I love the idea of the 26 things photography challenge, and basically just themed challenges in general. So I put together a mashup list of themes I like from various places to try to work on them throughout the year.
I started with 930 items. After deleting the duplicates, I had 716. Then I went through and got rid of the ones that just didn't sound that interesting, or were very similar even if different (like history and historical) or that I knew I'd never complete (like 3am*). I ended up with a list of 302, which I find acceptable. I don't expect to get through them all, but if I can challenge myself to do one or two a week I'll feel pretty accomplished.
Anyway, here's the list: ( teal deer within )
*I love the stillness of 3am, and I'm awake more than I'd like to be at that time, but the reality is that I won't be taking any pictures then. *snort*
