It's back, bigger and better than last year and looking for people to join the fun!
Those of you that remember last years challenge will hopefully want to join in again [or be running for the hills] and those that didn't, now is your chance to get involved.
The idea of this challenge is two fold - firstly it is a challenge to see whether you can still take a great photo without all the bells and whistles your modern digital camera offers you, it really IS about the idiot behind the lens! No post processing or other aids, just you and a piece of plastic with some film in it
Secondly is to have some fun, just enjoying taking some photos without fiddling around with buttons or anything else.
Here are the basics of the challenge:
- Buy a disposable camera
- Take photos with it between August 10th and 24th
- Get them developed onto disc/scan them on
- Post your favourites here on the forum
OK thats the gist but there are a few things to add to that
1 - This year there is a PRIZE!! Talk Photography have generously donated a £30 Amazon Voucher for the best photo - this will be decided by member vote, so initially you will only be posting your ONE favourite image. After the voting is complete, you can add more to share the fun.
2 - SPREAD THE WORD!! The great thing about this challenge is that everyone can take part, regardless of your ability, experience or specialisation. So if you are one of those people that generally only hangs around in certain forums, please tout this to your fellow birders/sporters/motorsporters/macro-ists/creatives/etc
This thread is to get the word out and discuss, ask questions, let us know where you have found good or cheap throw-aways, etc. There is no need to say whether you are in or not, just get yourselves organised with a camera [or several] and once the image thread is posted late August, get your photos on there.
THIS is last years thread btw.
UPDATE: A thread to post your ONE favourite image to go into the vote has been created >> VOTE THREAD
