At the January Club Meeting, the Advanced Group discussed the possibility of opening a 52/52 Photo Challenge for club members.
Basically, a 52/52 challenge requires participating members to take ONE PHOTO PER WEEK for all 52 weeks of the year and post them on Flickr. Photos will be compiled in a ‘Set’ on members personal Flickr sites and the completed portfolio of 52 photos reviewed at the end of the challenge.
The aim of the challenge is to encourage members to make a conscious effort to take more photos and develop a habit of posting them regularly. Members can decide to follow a definite theme over the course of the challenge or simply compile a visual diary, the choice is up to the individual photographer. Should anyone wish to consider a thematic approach, here are some I have seen used in the past; The Bridges of Ireland, The Water Pumps of Ireland, The Royal Canal, Self-Portraits, Barmaids of Dundalk, Irish Forged Gates …. the variety is endless. Remember, a theme is NOT necessary but it can be helpful if motivation or inspiration is flagging.
Participants should attempt to present their images appropriately, not just snap-shots but effectively edited (colour-corrected and composed) and titled.
We hope to commence the challenge at the beginning of February with interested members registering their intention to participate on the CLUB FORUM. See rules of the challenge there also.
Should you decide to participate, your first submission must be posted by mid-night on FRIDAY 3rd FEBRUARY and subsequently every Friday for the following 52 weeks!
