Week 1

We are starting our challenge this week.  This weeks challenge was to photograph something from your back door.  I have about 2 fee of snow right outside my back door, so it was all about opening my door and snapping a picture from the door post.  Literally!  It has been so super duper cold it isn't even funny.

So, if you can see it from your back door, you can snap it.  Get creative and post your pictures either on this blog post:

Or on the facebook group:

Just a glimpse ~ a 52 week photography challenge

Remember ~ if you post here, you have to have a link from either your blog or from a photo hosting website such as Photobucket.  

Can't wait to see all the pictures we will get!  I better get mine uploaded too!

52 Week Challenge Updated

So, while I thought ~ thought being the operative word ~ that I had this figured out, I apparently don't.  I thought we could post pictures straight to the page ~ and it would show up after you post the link or what not.  But that apparently isn't the way it works.  SO.........

I set up a facebook group for this challenge.  I really hope you all are able to join the facebook group.  I will run it just like I would have here ~ throwing in a few contests every once in a while.  But I feel SO badly that I couldn't figure it out.

Here is the link to the facebook group ~ if I don't add you within a few minutes, please click the link and join!
Just a Glimpse ~ a 52 week photography challenge
The facebook group is closed, so no one but the members of the group can see the posts!  Plus, it's easier to post photos to fb (I think) than having to set up a photo hosting account for some!
I will still do the posts here on the blog ~ in case there are some who aren't on facebook and still would like to participate.  The contests will be the same and we'll treat the blog and group as if it is one.

So, please join us!  And thank you for understanding!

Week 1 ~ January 4

So, we start off right away!  I will post the link to submit your photo on Friday, January 4th and will close it out on Monday, January 7th by 9 am.

This week is:

From your back door ~
     If you can see it from your back door, you can snap it!

52 Week Challenge ~

Well, it didn't take me long and I have all things worked out to host a photography challenge.
I'm not terribly picky, pretty lenient, but there are a few ground rules:
Please be people of integrity.  If you didn't take the picture, please don't use it.
Feel free to invite your friends to join us, but please make sure they follow to join us.
Please be mindful of others ~ and keep them clean.
And finally, lets encourage each other!!

Now, this is how it's gonna work ~ I will put up a post every Friday ~ on that post I will have this:

And this is where you will post your links to your pictures.  Make sure you don't link to an entire page of pictures just the one picture you are submitting for the week.
The link will be up until the following Monday when the next challenge begins.

Also, on that same post, I will also put up a reminder of the next weeks assignment.
To make this even more fun, there are a couple assignments throughout the 52 weeks that will have contests attached to them.  They will be randomly placed, and the prize won't be extravagant, but it will be fun.  The way the contests will work is that on the Beginning of the Challenge week, I will tell you that it is the contest and each person will be assigned a number as they post and I will have a number picker online choose the winner!

Challenge

Hey!  How was your first day of 2013?  Mine was wonderfully fully of NOTHING!  I had a laundry basket full of socks that I wanted to mate and put away into drawers today.  And I got it done.  I even threw some out.  I was so excited.  I'm pretty easily excited, apparently.

One thing I got for Christmas was a beautiful awesome new DSLR camera.  Oh, I have enjoyed playing with it!!!  But, I have been wanting to find a "challenge" to do and then a friend of mine on facebook mentioned it, so I do believe that I will be starting my own challenge.  I'm going to steal some weekly theme ideas and smooshing them all together and making it my own.  And my hope is to get others involved!!!!  Now, just to figure out how to set up a way for others to post....
I will work on it and hope to have something up by tomorrow!

It will be fairly simple.  But, I know I need a reason to purposefully take pictures!  So, join me.  We'll have fun!
