Tips about the challenge


Vary Your Themes
Try to capture the day’s events in a single photo. Perform photographic experiments. Take a photo of someone new you meet, something you ate for the first time, or something you just learned how to do. Take a photo of something that made you smile. And don’t forget to take a photo of yourself at least once a month so you can remember how you’ve changed, too.
Tell a Story
Use your blog entry, or your photo description, to explain what’s going on in each day’s photograph. How good did that dinner taste? What made you want to take a photo of that stranger? It’ll help you remember down the road, and it gives friends following along a better appreciation of why you took the photo you did. You don’t need to write a lot, just enough to add some color.

365 Day Challenge!

There is exactly 15 days left in this year 2010 and I have decided that I want to do my own 365 day photography challenge in the year 2011. I'm not sure exactly how it will go, but I do plan on taking at least 1 photo EVERYDAY of the year! We have a new baby that will hopefully arrive before 2011 and we are relocating, so life will be full of new challenges already! My passion is photography, so why not add another challenge & keep things fun! Anyone is welcome to join me in this challenge, whether you are a beginning photographer or seasoned! I consider myself, somewhere in the middle! My goal is to become a better photographer. Learn more about my camera, lighting, angles and be creative!
Wish me luck :)
