Those of you who have followed my blog for some time, may recall that last August, I took on a 30 Day Photographic Challenge Each day, a new image was taken on a specific theme and whilst some days it was indeed, challenging to fulfil the brief- either by subject matter or within the time, I quite enjoyed the discipline of it all. So, when one of my social media friends (TS) started a media-wide #photoaday at the beginning of August, I caught the urge to take up the challenge again too. And so I set off on what could almost now be called an 'annual event'.
A few days in, another social media friend (KG) felt it would be fun to join in, and so for a while, there was the daily anticipation of how the subject would be interpreted by the three of us. For those who haven't done anything like this before, I will tell you now, it is harder than you think, and I actually have every respect for those who take on the 365 challenge (or even longer) So, juggling, work, family, leisure and remembering to take and post the daily image means that sometimes, it just doesn't happen for those taking the challenge. However, I'm pleased to say I did actually manage to post every day, although with different levels of success with my images. Afterall, photo a day is really just a bit of fun, so any images produced as a result are worthy of a mention, and with permission, I am posting the images by KG alongside my own. (As TS is enjoying a holiday, I haven't yet had the nod to use those images - maybe they will be added here later) Just see how the subject has been approached differently by each of us, although on one occasion it was spookily similar!

There you have it! A bit of silly-season fun if you want, and lovely to share the challenge with friends. Photography doesn't have to be, and shouldn't be, stuffy and serious all the time. Enjoy!

Fascinating to look at both sets of images.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you can set up a 7-day challenge for your niece once she gets her new camera!
