"50 Days of 50" sounds cool

 

50 days is such a long time for a project though. I think a shorter time span would be best in order to keep interest.

 

true but "50" would go into the holidays and new years eve (i think lol) and it would be cool to have some pics from those days. hopefully it snows by then. white Christmases are always nice.

 

i say we go the whole 50. I'll join in for sure. I need the motivation to shoot again before i end up selling all my gear.

This is after all supposed to be a challenge.

What if we even made a game out of it and everybody keeps posting till they miss a day and then they are out of the challenge. Whoever keeps posting will last longer and win the challenge. kinda like a last man standing game with photography. First day u miss posting a shot u are out and can not post again.

This would kinda make it fun and give people more incentive to post up shots and really CHALLENGE u to be creative and meet the deadline that a photographer would have if he/she was for hire.



Just an opinion and idea.

 

If you guys want to do 50 I'm cool with that. I plan on making the thread tonight or tomorrow. I like the idea of "miss a day and you're out" to keep people posting. Will there be a prize?

 

being Photographer of the month?

maybe make a thread just for that. Pick one photographer every month to kinda highlight each month.

 

That could work. The winner from each project could be featured. And if we make a Flickr group to accompany the projects they could be featured on there as well.

For this project the theme could be "endurance" since the winner will be the last photog standing. If there's more than one we could have a vote for the best photo and the person who took it is the winner.

 

i would just make the theme the "50 days of 50" cause it's gonna be harder to come up with ideas for the photo to relate to the word ENDURANCE. Just my opinion.

 

I didn't mean as in the subject of the photos but like the overall goal. For example, in future projects it won't necessarily be a challenge to see who's the last person left. More than likely we'll just have to vote for best photo.

 

ah ok gotcha. so when do we start?

 

tomorrow

 

*runs to go put nifty fifty on the 5d* looks like i got some shooting to do tomorrow.

hope no one cheats and shoots a ton of photos in one day and then just spreads them out through the course of the 50 days. ha ha

 

^you can do that but we can just look at the exif data on flickr...lol

 

well lets get it crackin. So the due time for each day is 11:59 pm and anything after would be considered late and NO EXCUSES. ha ha

I say we leave no comments either. That way we can watch the pics closesly.

 

I'm gonna put the thread up before I go to bed. And whose time zone are we using Pacific?

 

I'm out for the first week. I won't have anything until next weekend.

 

eastern time zone

 

OMFG...im out. Dropped my 50 today and it broke in half. Glass was fine to i tried fixing it. I thought it was fine so i put it back on the body to see if it worked. It got stuck on the camera. Took it to a camera store and I have to pay $85 to get it off. Wont have it till next week. FML. Lens is trashed they said.

 

So, is there an SL group on Flickr now?
