    I'm adding a challenge on top of the challenge. I will get 12 different shots of 12 different things. Will only try to photograph any one subject once, if it fails, I will move on...
    That works for me.



    Hey Len, the admin that also has a camera why not join us?


    I propose we give it a shot this weekend. Lets see what you guys can do.

    Incidentally,
    This is where I got the idea... http://www.streetshootr.com/4-tokyo-...one-roll-film/

    Now here is the real pressure point.... How do you feel about the challenge being on the Forum for all to see? I admit it can be embarrassing, but it might generate some interest....especially if we open it up to the members.

    I am game for this too Al. It could show that photo savvy folks are pretty human also. You might want to define the PP suggested/allowed? I tend to adjust for highlights/shadows/whites/blacks and sometimes exposure and a bit of noise reduction. No cropping/localized editing or whatever you feel is appropriate. Personally I am not in this from a competition standpoint but for a planning/self improvement moment.

    I'm up for it being public. I will try to channel the film process fully and do SOC submissions. I may need to start a little earlier than the weekend but I will keep all the guidelines in check

    If your current shutter count is currently 1,000 , then the next 12 shots 1,000-1,012 will be your participating set.

    You cannot use anything prior to 1,000 or after 1,012 even if you mess up.

    That's it! I added a challenge on top of this challenge in that I was going to only take one shot of any specific subject.

    For example, if you wanted to, you could use your whole 12 shots to take pics of one subject. My goal is to have 12 separate subjects, even if I mess up on one specific one.

    Ricardo, when you say specific subject you are referring a group of similar subjects like flowers etc.

    I went to start this morning with a particular subject in mind, took the shot and a huge bee got in the way and I blew my series. So reset and took two of my planned shots after returning to the house and grabbing the tripod.

    I was going out today but it's pretty nasty outside. Wet, raining, overcast.....no thanks really. Maybe I can do an interiors thing but we'll see. It'll be tough to light them correctly first try I think.
