The madness that is the 52 challenge becomes addictive.....my 4th year on the trot ,loving every minute of it
To those of you starting your 1st 52 this year here's a few random thoughts from me......
Take your time , read the theme , use whatever means you have to get inspiration if it doesn't strike immediately . I use google a lot & the online free dictionary to eek out some obscure definitions thereby allowing liberal use of the crowbar
Don't panic......if your struggling , leave a week & catch up when you're able . Time & family life get in the way sometimes .
Leave feedback on others threads , say why you like/don't like something rather than just "Nice shot" , there's no right or wrong ,it's all about how you feel when you see an image .
Don't get :rage: or or throw your :dummy1: out at feedback left for you . We are generally a great bunch in this challenge & all crit is aimed to help others improve or see a different angle . I'd be banned by now if I'd taken offence each time Andy ( posiview) told me I'd got my crop wrong
Have fun with it , it's your challenge , you'll get out of it what you put in
It ain't gonna be easy ,there'll be weeks when you just can't see the wood for the tree's & you wanna give up....DON'T....you'll regret it as it's a fab feeling to reach week 52 & see how much you've improved/learnt
Don't be afraid to ask questions ( I'm always asking them ) , someone will have the answer or be able to point you in the right direction
& then there's the meets to be arranged ......a few of us try to get together for a couple of long weekends each year.....3 whole days of nothing but photography & laughs & sometimes even good weather .....keep your eye's peeled in the meet section as ,I suspect , either Andy or myself will be posting up another meet for midway through the challenge
