So . . . Who's up for a challenge in 2014?
If you're looking for some inspiration and a reason to get your camera out every week, the Photo52 is a great way to challenge yourself and encourage you to keep shooting new things throughout the year.
I have in front of me my trusty bag of themes and all I need now are some volunteersdaft brave enough to take on the challenge.
I know that we have some returning 52ers chomping at the bit for a new year and hopefully we'll see some new faces joining in too.
This will be the 6th year that TP has run the Photo52 and everyone who has taken part in previous years has learnt a phenomenal amount - I hope that everyone taking part this year gets a lot out of it too.
HOW IT WORKS
In its simplest form, every Saturday a theme is pulled at random from a bag and is posted in this thread. During the following week everyone taking part posts a photo of their interpretation of the theme in their own special 52 thread. There is no competition element to this, you simply shoot for your own enjoyment, progression and sense of achievement.
Step By Step Guide
1) Wait for the theme to be announced. I'll update the thread title and the list below as soon as each week has been drawn.
2) Think about the theme and how you want to interpret it.
3) Take your Photo.
4) Create your own individual thread for your 52 in the 52s section of the "Projects, Personal Challenges and Themes" forum.
5) Post the photo in your thread, update the title of your OP with the week number and share your thinking behind the shot - plus if you feel like it, share what you learned each week.
6) Add your photo to the "pictures only thread" with a link back to your own thread so that everyone can see that you've added a new week.
7) Take a look at some of the other 52s and post a few comments to encourage your fellow 52ers.
8) Wait for the next theme to be announced.
9) Repeat steps 2 & 3 and 5 to 8 until the end of the year. (Step 4 : "creating your own thread" only needs to be done once. All subsequent weeks will be added to your existing thread rather than starting a new thread each week)
Easy isn't it?
If you want to keep track of who's in this year, Dark Knight has also very kindly taken up the role of setting up a Photo52 spreadsheet again - TP 52's of 2014
