Hi all,

Quite a few have mentioned about doing a project 52 this year and previously a sort of weekly competition thread as well.

The idea is is to keep us motivated for our projects and to compete to add a bit of fun to it.

This is in no way intent on messing with the monthly competitions, there are no prizes, no official judges. Just each week a thread will be created, and throughout the week we shove our images in it and discuss...I was tempted to do a seperate thread for discussion but meh, lets just stick to one thread a week :)

So *smashes bottle on 5D2* I hearby open the start of the weekly thread!

HURRAH

P.S. Your entrys go there *points below the OP*
 
Good stuff :) Will there be any theme each week, or is it an 'open theme' each week? If the latter, I think it would be good to include a sentence or two to describe the image, or the intentions of the image etc - it could help with the learning process :)
 
Open theme I would imagine. Putting limitations isn't going to encourage anyone and we have the monthly comp for that.
 
Let's keep it open theme - good suggestion about a good few sentences with each picture...give it a back story :)

Glad people are liking the idea!
 
So a picture a week, for the rest of the year? Sounds like a nudge that I am looking for to get me moving with my camera.

Exams, new baby etc will just have to take a back seat!!! ;-)

New baby is a good excuse to take lots of photos.

I can't wait to have a baby just so I can take lots of photos of it.
 
Ohh count me in on this, something like this will help push me along.

Is it worth having seperate threads for pics and one for dicsussion like the Comp as otherwise it might be pages of posts between pics? Maybe even a sticky if ichabod can do it?

That's the best idea I've heard all day.

It would be nice to have a thread just for the photos without all the discussion and other waffle getting in the way.
 
I do intend to do a 52 photo challenge, hopefully it'll get me trying out new things with my camera. :)

This isn't going to be the final picture for Week 1, alas it's just the first picture I've upload into the 52 photo set on my Flickr. :) Taken with my HTC Desire as well, not with my camera obviously. :p

Week 1 - New Year Celebrations
 
I'll have a go at this I think. It should give me the kick up the rear I need. Annoyingly it's dark when I go to work and when I come home, so I imagine I'll be posting a lot of photos based within walking distance of my work during my lunch hour (well, 30 minutes!), until it's lighter at least. Not sure this will help me much though!

I'm having a go on TP too, so not sure if I'll post the same images here. Possibly not!
