5 Week Creative Photographic Challenge
Tuesday 26th October – Monday 29th November 2010.




Challenge Briefs:

Week 1 - Macro - RED (9am AEST, Tuesday 26th October – 9pm AEST, Monday 1st November)

Week 2 - Portraiture – GLASSES (9am AEST, Tuesday 2nd November – 9pm AEST, Monday 8th November)

*Inspiration to be taken from the #1 song named on the Australian iTunes Countdown chart current at the start of the challenge

Voting period will commence Wednesday 1st December and close Sunday 5th December.


Guidelines:

There will be one challenge per week (date ranges above). Photo must be taken during the challenge and brief date range. Photos taken outside of the date range should not be entered.

Your image is open to your personal interpretation, but should be within the creative brief. Ie, Macro photo can be of anything, but must be RED in full or in part. This will help to keep a common thread running through all participants entries.

You can upload your image at any time during the date range, but it must be entered prior to 9pm on the last day of the brief challenge. Image must not be changed, or edited once it has been submitted/uploaded/posted.

You may use Photoshop or another editing program for basic editing such as level, contrast, hue, saturation, blur, sharpen, crop, border, etc adjustments, but please state what kind of editing you have done. Adding or removing (unless its removed by a simple cropping of the image) things from the picture should not be done. In consideration of other entrants/viewers, file size should be limited to a maximum of 500kb and/or 1000px wide/high.

Please do not canvas for PERSONAL votes. It is unfair to newer or “quieter” members.

Please share what type of camera you have used, and a brief explanation of your shot. It’s meant to be fun and hopefully we can all learn from each other.

And the MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL....Enjoy the challenge, and happy photographing! :yelclap:

[Mischief]

Does this sound Ok to everyone? :)

Ive got my thinking hat on... Hmmm... what to do for a RED Macro?!!! I have a few ideas. :D

[chicken and eggs mum]

OMG you are so super organised!!!!!!!!! :-)

One question, where are we posting photos?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Im so glad you went with the colour theme for macro!!! YAY!!!! :-) I have some ideas already!!! WOO HOOO!!!! best get my photography hat on!!!!!

[Mischief]

Em - I'll open a thread for photos to be posted in the morning, with a new one each week for the different brief.

Probably might be a good idea to keep chat in here, and the photo thread just for photos, that way you dont have to download 10megs every time you refresh the thread. LOL. :D (might not be an issue for some, but i know i have very limited downloads). :)

[chicken and eggs mum]

Thats what I was thinking Kat - keep this thread for chatter, another one for photos!! :-) Smiles!!!!!!



(sorry didnt get to chat much yesterday, was good to see you though!!!!!)

[Mischief]

Actually, I might get organised now. LOL.... HAHA! I cant help myself!

[JJAZ]

Very exciting!! :)

I have a few ideas, but think i need to challenge myself a bit more and think outside that square!!! LOL.

I was just thinking i really need to get the camera back out! :)

:yelclap::yelclap: For Kat for being super organised! :) :) :)

[Mischief]

Okay. Entry thread is made. :)

HERE (http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?p=5258967)

*YAWN*

I really should do some housework now shouldnt I?! LOL

[Mischief]

I just thought I'd mention, for those who dont have, or know how to use Photoshop. The basic edit functions (if you choose to use them) can be done with a click of a button on a program called Google Picasa. :)

[Mischief]

Has anyone else been hot of the mark today with their camera at the ready?

Ive taken 4 or is it 5 shots of different things, but there is one in particular I love, Im going to have to find something super special to beat it out of my favorite place!

[CazHazKidz]

I don't think I can do it. You have to have special equipment to do a macro shot right?

[chicken and eggs mum]

Caz
Is there a little flower button on your camera?? you should be able to press that and it will allow you to take a macro shot!! If yiou hold it down you should be able to super macro it. If you have manual focus, you should be able to use that as well.....

What sort of camera do you have?? Then I might be able to give specific help!!

I have a 6 year old canon and can do macro, super macro and manual focus.... so if yours is newer you should be right!!

[Mischief]

You can take a normal shot zoomed in as much as possible (just make sure that its focused on your main subject) at a higher resolution and then crop it.

Macro should be at least life size, or larger. :)

[Mischief]

Yep Em! I used to do Macro on my 9 year old Canon Powershot! :laughing:

People confuse Macro with Micro. Like I said, life size, or larger. It doesnt have to be making a bee look as big as a cat. :)

[CazHazKidz]

I have a Canon 450D

Yep it has a little flower icon. hahah. I did wonder if that's all I had to do.

Thanks :D

[chicken and eggs mum]

yup, just use that button caz, then you should be able to get closer to the subject and it will still focus and be ok!! good luck!! here if you need any more advice!!!!

Kat, Gotta love the Canon Powershot, thats what we have and I do LOOOVE IT!!!

But we are hoping to upgrade soon!!

what do you have???

We are looking at canons, cause thats what we have and know, but I have also had a nikkon and liked that as well, they are very much on par from what I have heard!!!

[Chunkydunks]

For the little cameras I was told Olympus are really good. We had one and it took really good photos but DS got hold of it and ruined the power button.

After I pick up Ds I'm scooting around to a few place to see if they have the charger I need. Otherwise I'm ordering one online. I hope it makes it here in time.

[Mischief]

Em - We have a Nikon D40. Its really good. :)

My only issue with the old Powershot, is that it churns though the batteries so darn fast! But I still use it on occasion! :D

Caz - The most important thing to remember with Macro is attention to detail. The idea is to capture something that you normally wouldnt pay much attention to because its to small. Yanno?

[Mischief]

What camera do you have MT? :)

[Chunkydunks]

My DSLR is a Nikon D70s.

Other than that I've been using SIL's compact which is a Canon of some sort. It's ok but nothing compared to the big one.

[chicken and eggs mum]

Ours isnt too bad on batteries, we got some for our honeymoon from batterworld, they cost us a mint, but never had a problem!!!

Might have to catch up one day so I can play with your nikkon and jes' canon!!! then i might be able to decide!!!!!

[CazHazKidz]

cool thanks!

Hmm.. something small and red with lots of detail... thinking thinking..

[Mischief]

Caz, as long as its life size.... Ie, an apple could be macro as long as its life sized in the picture once its scaled down to 1000px at its widest point. :)

[JJAZ]

This is so much fun! :) I have been busy busy shooting today.... Have a few half decent shots that i am happy with - But am going to go and get some different bits an pieces tomoro to play with! :)

Cazhay - here is a really good example of Macro photography and different alternatives that you can use..

http://www.canon.com.au/worldofeos/learn/get-creative/macro-photography.aspx

Happy Snapping

[Mischief]

Great link Jes!

I also put Wikipedia links in the thread for entries. ;) (Totally forgot about them until you linked. LOL)

[3BoysBlue]

This sound great I had fun doing the canon 5 challenge but I never got time to upload my entries
I've got a Canon 500D with twin lens kit as well as a EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens
hopefully I get the time to take some pic's for this challenge

[larlee]

Ok so I'm a complete amateur here, Macro has me confused as :confused: I have taken a shot but don't know if its quite macro or not :o If I enter it can someone tell me if its right?? Also if I upload a image now and change my mind before end of challenge can I change it?

[~Temet Nosce~]

sounds interesting, might join in if thats ok :)

[Mischief]

Larlee - Just post a link in here and we can tell you if its Macro or not. :)

Once photos are uploaded into the other thread, they should stay there (or Im going to get sooooo confused putting together the portofilio for voting). But I have no issues with anyone linking in here to a photo they would like some advice on. :)

Its meant to be fun, and a good way to learn, as well as a bit of a competition. :D

[Mischief]

3BB and KK - Welcome along guys! KK, yes you certainly can join, its open for anyone to enter until the first challenge is closed (after that time its pretty pointless, as you wont have the full 5 for *porfolio* time). :)

Cant wait, Im sure ive seen some of your picture before and thought they were lovely!

[Chunkydunks]

Charger is on the way!!!

[Mischief]

WOOT! That is great news MT!!!! :D Have you set up all your ideas ready? LOL

BTW guys, TabouliRasta and She-Ra have both put up their entries. Very creative guys! Well done. :) (In the Entries thread)

As for me, I have several, but Im struggling to know which one to put up!

Going out on Friday with my camera to visit the botanical gardens just to see if I can capture something a little more traditional, so far Ive gone pretty abstract with my shots.

[larlee]

Thanks Mischief, here is the link

http://s185.photobucket.com/albums/x198/larissavdv/?action=view&current=macro2.jpg

I hope I have got the right idea :o I'm wish I could blame baby brain, but I've never even heard of macro before this week.... yes I live under a rock :laughing:
I'm so indecisive :p might leave it till monday anyway, I love this challenge it's been too long since I was creative last and if I leave it till monday it will encourage me to take more photo's :D

[Mischief]

That looks pretty close to a macro to me! Macro should be life sized or bigger. Id focus a little bit more on the red though for this brief. ;) That is a great shot though! So precious! :goodvibes:

Also, if you go and have a look at the entry thread, Ive popped a link to Wikipedia, about what a macro is, and there are some awesome examples there. :)

Many people confuse Macro with Micro (I know I always thought they were the same).

[larlee]

thanks Mischief, will play around with it regarding the red. Will keep shooting too:D

[JJAZ]

Great shots so far!! :) :) :)

[Luna Lovegood]

I've got 3 pictures I am in love with and can't choose... :(

[trishalishous]

I'm in! I've never done a comp before:)

[Luna Lovegood]

Regarding the final portfolios, would it be easiest for us to make a group on Flickr so we can sort and view each competitor's portfolio easily?

[Mischief]

RB - Ive created one, but Im not sure if everyone has a Flickr account. Maybe I can upload everyones photos and name the set by their username as we go, with a public link?

Then the set is nice and easy to view come the *vote off* time.

What do you think? :)

[Mischief]

Trish! Me too, I had one that was leading the others, and now Im really not sure! Im still so hung, Ive got 2 stand out favorites. Grrrr!

Itty! I know! How is your challenge going?

[Mischief]

7Rugrats! I love your picture! I played with similar today, but just could not make it look right. Such a clever idea using the keyboard as a background! It blurs so well!

[3BoysBlue]

I took a couple today (inside with crappy light) using red paint
but I'm not 100% sure I like them:confused:
have a look here (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=252112&id=546303187&l=722b137a59)

so I will put my thinking cap on and take some more over the next few days

[aLittleLoopy]

I would love to join! I just got a Canon eos1000d and am trying to figure out how to use it. I don't have a lot of time because of a non-sleeping refluxing 10 week old, but I'll see what I can do :) Not sure how to upload the photos though?

[Mischief]

ALL- best thing is sign up for a free flickr account. ;). Welcome!

[Mischief]

3BB- I love the LOVE one. It's really clever!

[CazHazKidz]

I've got an idea!!! I'm going to play with it tomorrow. How exciting :)

[Mischief]

Yay Caz!!! Can't wait to see.

I'll do my final shots on Friday then choose. ;)

[Eco Goddess]

:smiliedance:I am so in!!! Very excited...will have to get snapping tomorrow!

[Mischief]

Wooot! Great to have you in EG!!! :D

[Luna Lovegood]

RB - Ive created one, but Im not sure if everyone has a Flickr account. Maybe I can upload everyones photos and name the set by their username as we go, with a public link?

Then the set is nice and easy to view come the *vote off* time.

What do you think? :)

That's fine I was just thinking it would be easier for you if we had a group and everyone submitted their own albums(because you have already put in so much effort already:)).

Alternatively, if everyone who had Flickr (or opens a free account) could just send a link to their own gallery for the final voting?

Downloading/Uploading, ect is going to chew up your d/l too...

[Chunkydunks]

Bit of a question that my book isn't answering for me. Our D70 come with two lenses. One is a 70-300mm and the other is a 18-70mm. Which one is better for macros?

[larlee]

I used the 18-70mm.... but thats the only one I have. worked pretty well for me.

[Chunkydunks]

it did indeed. Look lovely!

[Mischief]

Larlee, that is just STUNNING. What cute little hands! Awwww!

MTissy - I use the same lens. :)

[CazHazKidz]

What size should I crop the photos to?

ETA - never mind I worked it out. My photos in! Hope I did it right and followed the rules correctly!!

[Mischief]

Caz - I just love the sticky little hand trying to steal the strawberries! CLASSIC! Great capture! :D

[GoneBatty]

hmm id love to give it ago but everything i take just looks silly LOL

[CazHazKidz]

Give it a go Gone Batty!

I'm a complete and utter amateur. I didn't even know what a Macro shot was, and I don't even know how to use my camera.

Great way to start learning!!

[Mischief]

Come on Claire. Give it a go. :) would be great to have you on board!

[GoneBatty]

Kat,
I took a few pics playing around today/tonight, just uploaded them to my facebook if you wanna have a looksie??

[lala77]

Yay!! I made a decision and have uploaded my entry!! I've not used Flicker before so :fingerscrossed: it's worked!!

This is very fun!:laughing:

[Mischief]

Claire - I commented on your photos. ;) very cute!

Lala - :hissy: I want jelly beans!!!

[GoneBatty]

Ok, you convinced me im in....

accidentally used the wrong URL in my entry but its only a slightly different angle to the one i was going to use anyway. lol

At least ill start using more poor almost neglected camera a bit more hehe.

[Mischief]

Great job Claire. He's funny!!

[CazHazKidz]

Hahah i had a dream last night, that I logged on to bubhub and had a private message. Checked it, and it was from someone who had seem my Strawberries and Cream entry and wanted to use it in a magazine. :laughing: how funny :o

[Urban Tumbleweed]

I dont have a DSLR yet so is it ok if I enter using my digital camera? It has a macro setting and I have taken a couple I could use :D

[JJAZ]

Of course that is fine! :) There are few of us that dont have a DSLR! :)

Look forward to seeing your entry! :)

My apologises i just went to upload my photo in the Entire thread and it didnt work, i am heading out now but will be back this arvo to upload it in there!!!
SORRY!!!!

[Mischief]

Pwickle! Thats FINE! Even those of us with a DSLR, well most of us that I know anyway, arent using macro lenses. Im getting as close as possible to the subject, taking the photo at a high resolution, and then cropping for a Macro image. :) :D

IttyBitty! Cant wait to see your entry! :)

[mrse]

When can you join these? How do you put ure name down for it?

Hubby just bought a new camera for me and I am a complete amatuer so have no idea what I am doing...but would like to try out the camera capabilities.

I have a Canon 500D

[Mischief]

Mrs E - Right up until the first one closes (Monday night at 9pm). :) Would love to have you on board. Once you choose your entry just upload it into the ENTRIES thread (its the other sticky). :) Cant wait to see!

[brogeybear]

So I have been stalking you all in this thread and the other. I am really busy this weekend but hopefully will get a chance on Monday to do a pic. I really want to get involved in this section, God knows I need to practice and refresh, LOL

[Mischief]

That would be great BB! :)

Everyone who is keen to join but hasnt submitted an entry yet, dont forget it closes at 9pm (standard time) tomorrow night. Then I'll start pulling together the portfolios and adding each week as the brief closes. :D

Its been so darn hard for me not to start taking shots for the Portraiture brief yet. LOL Darn it! Cant wait for Tuesday now! :D

[JJAZ]

Me too Kat - i am busy thinking of some ideas though!

THere has been some GREAT entries so far!!! Very exciting! :)

Really was a great idea!

[misskittyfantastico]

There are some fantastic shots so far. So nice to get the thinky thing working again.

With the flickr/gallery thing, just lemme know. I have a Flickr account, so can either link directly to a set, or post to a gallery.

[JJAZ]

http://www.flickr.com/groups/1526833@N20/

Hope Kat doesn't mind me posting the link here.. But here is the group on flickr that Kat created!

I think that everyone is posting their image in the other thread (the Entries thread) but it would be cool to share on flickr too that way we can comment on each others shots etc??!! and i know i always love to sticky at peoples other photos! :)

[misskittyfantastico]

Thanks :D

[JJAZ]

Your welcome! :)

[Urban Tumbleweed]

I ended up opening a Photobucket account so I could see my picture in my post. I couldnt work out how to do it with Flickr. What do I need to do in future to include my picture in my post using Flickr? :)

[Mischief]

Don't stress. I'm happy to link/upload to flicker unless people already have an account. Saves confusion both ways. ;-)

If you guys who have flickr accounts want to join the group and add pics, could you just include your username too so I don't get confuzzled? :laughing:

Thanks guys! :D

[Mischief]

Oh and Pwickle. With Flickr you select SHARE THIS. then HTML/bb Code. Then bbCode. Then just copy and paste. (you can select your size to display too) :)

[Urban Tumbleweed]

Thanks Kat! I will give it a whirl next week :D

[Urban Tumbleweed]

I just tried to do a practice run, do you copy and paste the whole link in the HTML/BB code box or just part of it? When I copy and pasted the whole link it wouldnt work :(

[aLittleLoopy]

I was about to ask that too! I'd finally decided on a pic and couldn't upload it :( i'll try that tomorrow :) The entries are great so far, we have some talented people on bh!!

[Chunkydunks]

I have feeling I'm out. The charger didn't arrive on Friday and chances are it won't arrive tomorrow. if it does....great...otherwise I'll just have to give it a miss.

[larlee]

I vote we give mummatizzy an extension! :yes:

[Mischief]

Mumma T - Did you get your charger? :)

Dont forget guys... closing in less than 5 hours now!!!

[Chunkydunks]

Nope...no charger. I'll see what I can get on SIL's camera...it has a macro setting but the photos aren't that great. The battery for it's charging now.

[Mischief]

That would be great MT. :)

Can you shoot at a higher resolution and then just crop to Macro? :D

[Chunkydunks]

Tried but failed. SIL's camera just doesn't cut it at all.

[brogeybear]

Ok, finally got my act together and found something red, lol. I hope I can be more organised in the future!

[Kachow]

awww I missed the first challenge :(

Thinking cap on for the next one.

[Mischief]

Dont forget voting will be on all 5 entries, not on singular ones. So if you arent in the Macro Challenge..... You are still welcome to participate, but wont have a full profile at the end to be in the vote off. :o

So if anyone has missed out, I'm OK with you uploading in the next hour or so (I'll close it at 10am, just this time, its 837am here now) for THIS FIRST CHALLENGE (MACRO - RED) ONLY.

MummaTissy - Could you even take a picture on your phone and use that? You have 4 more entries to make up for its lesser *quality*.

[Chunkydunks]

We've only just gotten our power back on today. I'll just join in from next week. I have one shot I'm happy with but the noise is ridiculous.

[Chunkydunks]

Just checked and apparently my package is mean arrive today

[~Temet Nosce~]

oh bugger, completely forgot, have been busy. Hmm might still enter the others I guess.

[Mischief]

MT - If others are OK with it, since you have been in the thread all along hoping your charger would come, I would be OK with you submitting a late entry. JUST THIS ONCE *puts on school marm look*. :)

I know someone above said they voted to give you an extension. :D

[lala77]

I vote for an extension for MT (just this once) :D

[Hootenanny]

Ok I'm officially clueless, we had powerouts last night and I only just squeezed in my entry but couldn't get it to display the picture just the link. But now when I look in the entries thread it doesn't have the link but when I go to see all posts by luvmyboys it shows the link. Any ideas? Can anyone help me?

[Mischief]

ILMB - What are you using? Photobucket? Flickr? Facebook?

[Hootenanny]

I'm using photobucket

[Mischief]

Just get the HTML link and Edit the post and pop it in there. WE can just click the link. :)

[Hootenanny]

I think that's what I did before but I will try again:laughing:

[Hootenanny]

ok that's bizarre I can now see the link again!! Does it work for you?

[Mischief]

No, I cant see anything.

Do you happen to have a flickr account you could use? LOL

[CazHazKidz]

Have posted my portrait photo, what do you all think?

[Chunkydunks]

Too cute. I'm still trying to decide what I want to do. Whether I'm going to use the glass or glasses theme...

[brogeybear]

Too cute Caz!

I am still thinking as well. I wear glasses but I am NOT doing a self portrait.... and I thought about a drinking glass, but can't decide yet....

[larlee]

Lovely Images so far everyone!

trishalishious I love your portrait, the lighting is soo moody, beautiful.

Haven't started the portrait yet, Think I know what I'm going to do but not 100% will just have to see how they turn out before I decide.

Happy shooting:goodvibes:

[Mischief]

I took my first shot today, but sort of wanted to do something a bit DIFFERENT. :o

I need to take the camera out on the weekend. Ive been so uninspired this week for some reasons! :(

How is everyone else going?

[Mischief]

Oh and PS. I love the shots so far! Lots of fun! :D

[ElizaDoLittle]

So portraiture has to include a person hey?

[Mischief]

Thats right. But it could be a domestic animal I guess? Its "usually" a head shot, but not always. :)

[7rugrats]

I added mine today...this is a lot of fun :D

[Mischief]

MrsE had an interesting photo... but most importantly want to know IS THAT A REALLY SMALL BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE, or TWO REALLY BIG GLASSES? ;) :laughing:

[GoneBatty]

I havent even touched the camera this week LOL and i cant find the 'item' i had in mind for my glasses prop! better get cracking :laughing:

[misskittyfantastico]

I've had a schnitzel of a week. Recovering from a 1100km round trip, lost teeth and two kids with croup! I really wanted to try another setting with drinking glasses, or one huge bulbous glass with straws and fruit and umbrellas, but I'm not gonna get there. It was really funny (funny interesting, not ha ha) that I initially went with an hilarious shot of boy child wearing tie and glasses, then big girl had them on, and I just caught her in this lovely moment. I can see her thinking, I can feel it.

[mrskb]

If you do another one of these when this one is finished I would love to join up!

[Mischief]

How is everyone going? :)

TR - Your photo is just stunning. Little miss is just adorable. I'd love to see your other photo too! :D

MrsKB - That would be great. :D

I uploaded mine. I found portraiture harder than I'd thought to be honest. Im used to taking candid snaps and chosing those I like the most at the end of the day, but needing to use a prop made it so much harder.

I had a very clear idea in my mind what I wanted, but I couldnt find any adults with the right characteristics who would SIT for me. LOL

[brogeybear]

My laptop is dead!!! *eeek*

[Mischief]

BB - Do you have a back up? I need to upgrade computers soon. Its just money, or lack there of that is stopping me!

[ElizaDoLittle]

I'm screwed I think. I've been in hosp and really sick now I am home and my little
Man who I was going to photograph is gone to grandmas....
Bugger might be able to attempt a self
Portrait tomorrow???

[Hootenanny]

I think CHALLENGE is an apt title, mumma tissy had battery problems, I had blackouts and trouble loading pics, bb laptop dies, she-ra in hospital, anything else!!!! I might pull out now before it gets any worse :laughing:

[Mischief]

Come on guys. LOL You can do it. :D

Self portraits are good. I was planning on doing it myself, but was scared of cracking the camera! LOL

[Mischief]

She-Ra, are you OK now?

[brogeybear]

I agree LMB
No backup, but apparently the harddrive is recoverabe, we need to get an external so we can recover and backup and reinstall windows, etc.
Hopefully we can borrow a laptop HD cable, etc.
Grrr... We have been meaning to get an external for months but always have something mmore important to spend $100 on.

[GoneBatty]

Ok i managed to get one of DP today lol.
Not exactly what i had in mind for this challenge either but it'll do lol!

[FunKy~Mummy]

i wish i had of found this sooner im not a great photographer hubby and my brother are but I am really interested Ill have to look out for the next challenge!!!
good luck girls xoxooxx

[Mischief]

Claire. That's a great photo of S! I love it.

Some fantastic entries guys!!!!

[larlee]

littleloopy you are a creative little loop :laughing: love the concept :thumbsup:

so many wows! :yelclap: great work people

[7rugrats]

Took the perfect shot for week 4 today...hopefully I can capture one just as good again when the time comes...always the way isn't it ;)

[aLittleLoopy]

Thanks larlee :). I didn't think I would make it this week as I've just started back at work so quickly took some shots today. I'm loving the cute kids in glasses though! Gorgeous :)

[lala77]

Wow! I can't believe how hard this week's challenge was!! I couldn't get anyone to sit still for me so had to resort to a self portrait!

I'm loving everyone's photos!! There are some creative people out there!! :yelclap:

[ElizaDoLittle]

Ok wish me
Luck! Attempting
Self portrait tomorrow... Nothing like the last minute!

And mischief... No not really but it's a really really long story lol

[JJAZ]

:yelclap::yelclap::yelclap:
Great shots everyone!!!
I love looking at everyones photos! so much fun! :)

[GoneBatty]

love your shot jes!

[Chunkydunks]

I'm pulling out of the whole comp. I keep foregetting and then when I remember I can't think of anything. Creative juices are going towards all my sewing right now.

[Urban Tumbleweed]

Ooh I got a sewing machine last week MT and I am loving it!! Im going to attempt to make a bucket hat for DS as soon as I can find an 'easy' pattern :D

I couldnt get DS to wear my sunnies for the pic and the dog wouldnt co operate either so I'm sorry my pic is more 'glass' than 'glasses'!

I love everyone elses pics!

[JJAZ]

Mumma Tissy - Thats a shame!

hopefully you will join in next time! :)

Happy sewing! :)

Gonebatty - Thanks love!! :)

[Urban Tumbleweed]

How about this one (http://butterick.mccall.com/b5056-products-7671.php?page_id=380)?

PERFECT!! Thanks so much MT!! :highfive:

[JJAZ]

How is everyone going with the next "challenge" I must admit i am finding it quite difficult - Landscape/seascape is not really my thing so have no idea what constitutes a good photo!! lol.... I headed down to a local beach last night - was a stormy cloudy night made for some ok photos - still searching for my original idea though....

Hope everyone is if finding it a bit easier then i.

look forward to seeing everyones shots!! :)

[larlee]

Well DP and I share a car at moment so haven't been able to get out to take a landscape :( will have car tomorrow and Sunday so gonna take a drive and hope I find something!

[Mischief]

Im struggling. I have a pretty clear idea of what I want to do, but havent been able to take the prefect shot yet. :(

[larlee]

How's everyone going? I have one image I'm pretty happy with but it's nothing really special, went for drive this morning and almost ran out of petrol in the middle of nowhere. If we have time tomorrow was thinking of going to check out one of our ideas for our wedding, might get a better image there. This one is such a hard one to find time to go and do.

[Mischief]

Larlee - Ive had a struggle with this one too! I finally got a shot that I loved this morning. Just put it up actually!

Oh... glad you didnt run out of fuel! Ive had that happen before, its not much fun at all!

How is everyone else going?

Larlee is right, it takes a bit of doing this brief. :eek: Ive found it hard making the time to go out, Wednesday I took a couple of shots on the way home from school, but I didnt love them. Im my own biggest critique though!

[aLittleLoopy]

I'm finding it hard to get around to as well! It is such a shame I don't have much time as there are some really spectacular landscapes around here - beaches, mountains, waterfalls, rainforests and beautiful farmland! Aghhh... Spoilt for choice and time poor!! I have a couple of shots i'm not quite happy with but will have to do if I can't get anything else.

Loving the entries we have so far :)

[larlee]

Mischief- Oh god, I had just enough to get back to civilization :laughing: couldn't imagine being stuck out on side of road out woop woop with a 6 month old at 5:30am and 1 nappy:p. Only managed to take about 8 shots before panicking and heading home. I have just put up 1 of them now, as DP and I have decided on gardening tomorrow now. so this will have to do, it's kind grown on me anyway. Love your image BTW!

aLittleLoopy- sounds like you live in a magical place, I really hope you get time to show us.

[misskittyfantastico]

I'm loving the images so far. What amazing places we all live in.

I have struggled with this one....and I'm surrounded by land! it's just such a sh!tty time of year, snakes and ants and flies etc, plus this season is a cr@pper, I just don't feel that inspired /glum.
I'll try to go out tomorrow, otherwise will decide from some I took earlier in the week.

[aLittleLoopy]

larlee I do live in a magical place, but there's no way I'll capture it with one shot :(
you can add me on fb though if you like being bored with literally hundreds of photos! Keep in mind though if you do that most of them were taken with a really crappy camera :D

anyone else who wants to add me feel free - just let me know your bh name so I know who you are :)

cass74@tpg.com.au

[GoneBatty]

Pretty yucky weather today tho i went out and took a few shots, going to stick my memory card in my computer shortly and see how bad they all look lol.

Id love to be able to get up to my mums work for this challenge (she works at a national park) but i have so much going on thats not going to happen so ill be settling for something else!

Off to see what half decent shots i may have captured in the yucky low cloud and rain today :wave:

[Mischief]

Larlee - Thanks honey! And yep, I would have panicked too!!! I actually did a shot very similar to yours, but no where as good. It lacked character that yours had captured! (I had the wrong lens on too, so that didnt help... doh! :doh: stupid me not taking the camera bag that day with the different lens!)

aLL - Did you get some shots today? :) I'll add you to FB when I log in later! :D

TabRas - You take amazing photos. Seeing some of the ones you have taken of home, wow. They are great shots, and really pulled at my heart strings. I dont know how you do it, really I just dont. :hugs:

GB - I love the shot you too! And it doesnt matter that you cant see the background, I think it adds to it. :) Love the bird in the foreground. :yes:

[aLittleLoopy]

Yep, add me Mischief! Be prepared to be bored by hundreds of photos :D

I managed to get out briefly today. We drove to a place aptly named The Promised Land about 20 mins from my house. DS2 and I have a cold, so I literally jumped out of the car and snapped a few pics, so technically they're not perfect. I think I need to learn to use this camera!

Doing justice to the landscape around here is hard :(. I'll add the colour pics to FB to give you an idea of how lovely it is.

[chicken and eggs mum]

at least all of you have at least had a go - LOL - I havent had a chance.... will see what I can pull off tomorrow.... at the last minute...as usual....!!!

[Mischief]

Omg aLL, what a stunning place. I love the sun Flare too! Beautiful!

TR - I adore that photo!!!

[Mischief]

aLL - I can't find you on FB? You can try me if you like. It's K J S 8 2 @hot mail. com minus all the spaces and capitals. Lol

[misskittyfantastico]

Thanks, Kat. Yours is just lovely, I particularly loved the water flow. I agree ALL, the sun flare is so pretty and everything looks so lush.

[aLittleLoopy]

Sent request :)

don't know why you couldn't find me. I might have to look at my privacy settings! Anyone else want to add me just PM and I'll add you. I'll look at my settings tomorrow on the laptop.

[Mischief]

Some awesome photos there Cass! Wow! I love the Promised Land in Colour too, but I have to say its really STUNNING in monocrome!

Last day today. How is everyone going?!

Emma - Are you out with your camera today? :)

[ElizaDoLittle]

Well I thought i was being really clever selling my 10D so quick... and now my new camera I cant get til thurs! Argh So I will be photographing today on my lumix point and shoot that is kept in the nappy bag. Oh the shame :laughing::laughing: now everyone will know its my tools not my talent :o

[Mischief]

LOL At least you havent had to resort to using your phone! :laughing:

Im sure whatever you take will be great!!!

[ElizaDoLittle]

Well it looks like I'm out :( baby girl
Sick, looks like possible hand foot
And mouth. I'll still do the next two weeks if that's ok but I realise I'll be out of the vote!

Mote power to you girls I dunno how you do it!!

[Mischief]

Nothing? Can even climb up on the deck or something and shoot the roof tops? LOL

Poor little girl. :( Ive had that before, its bloody horrible. :(

[7rugrats]

She-ra I hope your little girl is better soon.

It was a difficult one this week. I found it very hard to find the time to go some where.
Hubby works 7 days and it is a little hard to drag three under three and camera gear on your own.
But I at least got something done.
Well done to all of you stunning landscape shots!!!

[3BoysBlue]

She-ra I hope your little one is better soon

there are some great pics

I haven't had a chance this week with wet weather being flat out
I took the boys out on a drive this afternoon
it was not the best outside cloudy and trying to rain
but I managed to take some pics
hopefully once the boys are in bed I can pick one and put up

[ElizaDoLittle]

Well it's not hand foot and mouth it's measles! :-o ! Poor bubba.... Hmmm.... I have an hour..... Nightscape??!

[Hootenanny]

She-ra is it normal measles or german measles, i think there has been some cases going around.

I swear there is something weird going on in this challenge, my laptop died last night!!! I had to use the apple computer that I never use and had to use the editing tool in photobucket. The biggest challenge was using an apple mouse, no left click aarrgh.

Alittleloopy I LOVE The Promised Land, it is my favourite place ever, we stayed in cabins up there and swam in the never never river. I would move in a hearbeat if there was a good job for Hubby.

[chicken and eggs mum]

seems like we are all jinxed......... arhghghg...

I set up a lovely shot on a walk with DD this arvo only to have it pour with rain, I had the rain cover, but not the umbrealla, so i got soaked.... and I only got one photo as a drop of water got in to the lense, so there is a big streak on all the othes.... oh dear!!!

Fingers crossed for all of us for next week!!!!!

[aLittleLoopy]

Thanks Mischief for the comments :) and everyone who liked my photo!

DS2 still has the cold & isn't sleeping well, so it's hard to keep up with all of this!

She-ra I hope your DD is okay, poor darling :(. I have to say I love that shot though! I love pics like that where the focus is out, it is really atmospheric. I used to paint like that way back when I went to uni (sigh).

[aLittleLoopy]

Luvmyboys - we always swim in the Never Never. Don't you thinkthere is something magical about swimming there? It feels amazing in that water. I told my sister all about it, but she didn't believe me until she jumped in - you feel so alive!

We could only move here because I kept my job and could work from home, so we're lucky. DP is setting up our farm :yelclap:

[ElizaDoLittle]

Wow! You girls have some talent! And live in some stunning locations. The clarity in some of those are gorgeous. I need some phtotoshop lessons, just hitting desaturate never looks as good as the big long process my friend does to make hers black and white.

Argh macs!! They hate me lol. What's with no right click?! It's useful Mac makers!

I don't know, well doc said rubella so that's German measles hey? He was an after hours clinic doc, I have my doubts about those... But her temp has dropped so
Although she is miserable she is improving. The glands up in the back of her neck are something to behold though... Holy crap I've never felt anything like them!

[ElizaDoLittle]

Man I have just realised I was in hosp sick for portraiture and now my madam has measles....... I'm scared for next week lol! :laughing: you gotta laugh or you'd cry right?!!

[Mischief]

Oh the poor thing. Make sure you warn any pregnant friends, I think Rubella is infectious before the rash comes out. :(

I think some of you are really jinxed! I hope my computer doesnt die! I think I better back up all my work today! LMAO.

I did go out the other day and the low battery light came on the camera, does that count? :o

She-Ra... Are you SURE you didnt sneak out and take that photo? :) I feel sad you are out of the comp. :(

Oh, Im excited about this weeks challenge. I love motion shots, Im going to try a whole range of them, and BEST THING, is I have a leave pass on being a mummy on Thursday night! Im meeting a girlfriend in town and I might even try some night shots of cars! (This could be interesting). :D

I have in my mind EXACTLY the shot I want. But Im not sure Im talented or have patient enough subjects to get it!

[Mischief]

YAY! I found my tripod and all the bits to attach the camera to it. :D

Off to take some shots this evening. :)

Anyone else done anything yet?

[chicken and eggs mum]

Every time I get my camera out for this one it rains.... arhghghg....

I have my camera, tripod and the pram at the door ready to go, just need to get out of the house without it raining - that seems to be a theme of mine running through this!! LOL

I am hoping to capture swings in motion or my DD coming down the slide - not sure how I will go with that though!! LOL

Might be best to try and get the dog running after something!!!!!!

Will see how I go!!!!

Good luck Kat!!!

[Izy]

I'm out. No net during the family to soleparent adjustment.

Got it now, but missed a few weeks.
I am definitely in for the next one though!

[Mischief]

Hey Izy - :hugs: re the Sole Parent thing. That must be making life challenging. :( Im sorry to hear that, you take great care of you and little Mr X. Feel free to join us in the challenge anyway if you like. There are a couple who are out but planning to still pop shots up. :)

Emma - Ive got a cool doohickey thing for the camera that shields the lens. LOL Maybe time to invest?!

Not that it will help if its pouring, but if it is, I am not getting out of the car! :D I'm hoping it clears up though!!!

[misskittyfantastico]

Hardest challenge so far for me.
Blerr nerghh. Took some today, but I ain't happy. I'm pre bleed and kinda, erm, sensitive.:o Saw my DH for the first time in a few days and said "lookit my picture!" He said "That's nice, except you cut her head half off" Tears. Grumbles.

Big loves to all :hugs:

[Mischief]

Steph - Big hugs to you. I get the same, so you have my total sympathy. :hugs:

Went out last night but didnt end up taking a single shot. :( Went out again today and was totally uninspired. The boys were being ratbags, my temper was frayed, and the shots I did get lack any sort of character at all and met with the DELETE function.

I doubt I'll get out again before the comp closes, so I'll have to make do with something around the house. Im so darn frustrated! :hissy:

[misskittyfantastico]

:hissy: :hugs: *passes alcohol and chocolate*
I'll bet that your shots are excellent, Kat. You're your own worst critic....aren't we all?

[chicken and eggs mum]

Oh Kat I did the same thing.......... got a few decent photos, but not what I wanted.........arhghghghghghg...... and miss s's new fave thing is sticking her finger up her nose!! Makes for a lovely shot (check out my flickr!! LOL)....

Have another idea....sigh, that will have to do!!!

[Mischief]

I'm going to try again today. But really unsure how it's going to go!

Steph - thanks for the chocolate and wine! How are you feeling today?! O has been up since 530 and I'm frazzled already. This could be a BAD day. :rolleyes:

Yes. Own worst critic. I'm very hard on myself, but sort of feel I need to see the truth to improve. A few of the floral shots I took were ok but the action shots weren't so flash.

You are the same anyway! :laughing: ;)

Em - goodluck with some more pics. LOL @ Stella!

[larlee]

I have done nothing :( going 2 dreamworld Sunday, didn't really want 2 take camera but should be able to get something there, unless I can get DP on the quad today! Would love to get a shot of that but I'm sh!t scared of being near that thing when it's going a billion miles an hour!

[Mischief]

I took another couple of shots this morning, but nothing worth even talking about.

*sigh* I think its hard because I had a really clear idea of what I wanted to try and I havent had a chance. Id planned to do it on Thursday and then didnt get a chance because I ran out of time, and I just cant think what else I would like to do! Im so darn FRUSTRATED! :(

*insert hissy fit here*

[lala77]

I had everything ready to go this morning, DH lined up & convinced to help.. DS went down for a brilliantly long nap and it hasn't stopped RAINING!!!! Arggghhh!!! This is so the hardest challenge yet!! Hopefully it clears up tomorrow!

[JJAZ]

Glad i am not the only one finding this one really hard.

I have away for the most put of the week - so aiming to head out at sunset tonight - I have a really clear picture of what i want just got to get everything/everyone to cooperate! LOL.

Loving the entries so far - very creative!!!!

I must say i am really really enjoying these challenges - its nice to put the creative hat on, even if it is frustrating!!!

Happy Snapping! :)

[aLittleLoopy]

I uploaded but not real happy. But I have a baby insomniac who is making my life difficult!! :D

Can't wait to see what eveyone else has done!

[Mischief]

aLL - I laughed when I saw your shot. In a good way!!!! I loved how I could see you tracking around the side of the photo, then the movement of the lights. It made me grin! :D

Id thought of doing something similar with a rainbow of glow sticks, but couldnt find them when I wanted to use them.

Mr O has an appointment this morning, so fingers X for a decent shot of SOMETHING or SOMEONE today. If not, my birds are the only photo I have managed to get.

[GoneBatty]

I got a few shots on saturday nothing spectacular wanted to upload this morning but computer isnt playing nice, will have to shut it down and try when i get home from my first day at the new job :D

P.S Kat you should totally remind me if i havent uploaded before 8pm haha

Off to finish getting ready!!!

[7rugrats]

3 great shots already...well done.
Not sure if I am going to ge this one. We have had a bad weeka and I am of to hospital for the day with my little man.
I took some yesterday but didn't get any good ones...my heart is just not in it.
They have to be in by tomorrow...is that right?

[Mischief]

7Rugrats - They need to be in my 9pm tonight. :)

GB - GOODLUCK AT YOUR FIRST DAY! :) Cant wait to see what you put up!

Ive got a few done now, now Im just deciding which one to upload. ;) All is well in my world. LMAO

[Hootenanny]

I'm having trouble getting motivated:rolleyes: Could have taken the camera to the beach and taken photos of windsurfers, to the night lantern markets and taken a photo of the rikshaw in action, to the river for skiers or rowers but have I ......no.
Thinking about going outside and squirting the dog with the hose :D stay tuned!!

[Mischief]

LMB - Im sure the dog would like that!

Well, I finally uploaded.... wait for it... my ORIGINAL shot. I liked the ones I took of a little fire I lit, but they just didnt really stack up against the motion of the birds all taking off. :o LOL So I think Im happy now! LMAO

Hows everyone going? Only a few more hours, dont forget it closes at 9pm tonight! :)

Then we have ONE LAST CHALLENGE and voting starts! :eek:

[chicken and eggs mum]

Well I have just spent a lovely afternoon at the beach with ittybitty and out of the heaps of photos I took I hope I got one decent one!!!

The one I really wanted to capture, I caught just in the edge of the frame - it was my lovely, messy DD rolling down a hill!!! not on purpose!!!! LOL - hope I can fiddle with that one a bit and see what I can do!!!

Stay tuned for my photo!!!

[Mischief]

Sounds great Em! :) I love the impromptu photos! :D

I had several ideas to start with. One was the blur of tail lights going past the museum in Hobart. But the night ended up being a late one and I was to tired to be setting up the tripod and then playing with my shutter to get the prefect shot. Its such a long drive home, especially with the wildlife at night and doing it tired is a bad idea.

My other idea was to get the boys flying a kite and snap that, but the weather on the weekend was shocking or not windy!

I had a few plays with other ideas, including sparklers, glow sticks, and smoke, but in the end it was the birdies that I thought showed the most movement. LOL

[Hootenanny]

Chicken & eggs mum that reminds me of a photo i took when DS was only about 8 months old, it was at Hunter Valley gardens in their storybook garden we rolled him down the hill with Jack & Jill it was so cute. I should do it again now he is 4.

[JJAZ]

Entires have been GREAT so far!!! Seeing as though we have all struggled!!! :)

Looking forward to the last challenge now!! :)

[7rugrats]

I just scraped one in.
Fantastic photos...well done everyone.

[Hootenanny]

The dog wouldn't be in it, too much like a bath for her :laughing:, the kids were busy and the blue wren wouldn't sit still for long enough so I played with the hose by myself for a while.

Am hoping the Glee Club is out of the charts by the morning for the next challenge. Will someone post the no.1 song so we are all on the same page?

[Mischief]

I'll post number 1 song in the morning. :) will get it off iTunes list.

Great jobs everyone! Yay us!!!

[Mischief]

Good Morning Contestants. This weeks challenge is "THE SOUND OF INSPIRATION".

Number 1 on iTunes as of 615am this morning is Ke$ha - We R who we R.

Happy inspirational snapping!!!! :)

[aLittleLoopy]

Wow!! Everyone did so well! I love these shots. I hope to be as good as you girls someday, but I'm just a beginner now :)

Mischief, I have never heard that song. Haha actually I had a look at the top ten and didn't know any of them! I'm so old and out of touch! :D

[Mischief]

aLL - some are so talented. I love your shots. I've just (ie. Yesterday) joined up with a photography group. Hopefully will learn more. So humbling when you see then post their "ok" shots and they are better than your best! Lol

Tbh I didn't know the song either. I'm going to have to download it! Must be on YouTube?

[Mischief]

Ps. I'd been hoping for Firework by Katy Perry. :laughing: or pinks new one, was thinking of taking a self portrait with a big glass of tequila! Lol

[chicken and eggs mum]

oh god, it had to be one of her songs didnt it, silly girl.....

I might just take inspiration from the title... LOL - I dont care much for her music and was rather offended by her on sunrise - will the film clip offend me too, or is it ok?!?!?!?!?

Pinks song would have been GREAT!!!!

[lala77]

Tbh I didn't know the song either. I'm going to have to download it! Must be on YouTube?

I'm the same! I've just listened to it and am still in the dark!! I think this is going to be another hard week!! :-)

Am loving this challenge though!! It's really been getting me thinking!!

Thanks Mischief for organising it!! :yelclap:

[Mischief]

I actually like the song (but I havent seen the film clip, and I didnt see her on sunrise), there are some pretty cool lyrics in there. Ive posted a link on my FB page. It doesnt have a film clip. LOL.

Ive got so many ideas of what to do.... Oh its endless really! Gah!

The title of the song makes it much easier though.

We R Who We Are... We R Family
We R Who We Are... We R Happy
We R Who We Are... We R Country

Etc... the list is endless.

Or if you take from the lyrics, again... endless!!!! Im so excited by this challenge. Im just so glad it wasnt Flying in G6 or whatever that horrific screech of a sound is... LMAO!

[JJAZ]

How is everyone going with this challenge??

I am feeling inspired just have to wait till friday when I have my SIL to photograph, hopefully the inspiration doesn't go away!! lol.

I am quite enjoying this one - can be interpreted so many ways! :)

Its quite exciting on the home stretch now..

[Mischief]

Ive got a couple of ideas. :)

What about everyone else?

[misskittyfantastico]

I got half an hour to myself today, so had a bit of a play and got a couple that I liked.
Thanks for organising the challenge, Kat. It's been heaps of fun and challenging at the same time. We have some talented photographers on the hub. You've all really inspired me.:highfive::highfive:

Beautiful shot, Kat!

[Mischief]

Thank you for participating, and everyone else too! :)

Ive had such a great time. :D Cant believe this is our final week (then voting, but I dont care if I dont get a single vote... LOL Ive had my fun!!!).

Steph - I love your shots, they were all great!!!

[Izy]

I have to say... I am so in on the next one!

[Mischief]

Cant wait to have you Izy! I loved the shot you put in... such a shame you didnt have internet for so long. How are you going now? :)

[ElizaDoLittle]

You are so inspiring girls!! Thanksischeif for all your organizing. Sorry I have dipped out :(

Really really long story short... I have a heart condition. It started 6 weeks ago getting progressively worse. After soooo many tests it's not funny, I am now on beta blockers. Which is good for sitting around on my bum, not so good for getting out taking photos. So at the risk of sounding poor me....... Poor me!! Lol

Oh and for those who remember dd was sick, not measles, she had Scarlett fever! Scarlett fever!! Who the hell gets Scarlett fever these days?! Lol

Keep clicking girls, I am loving watching!

[GoneBatty]

oh noooooo
i dont know how im gunna get one in for this week!
ive got nothing and work tomorrow
ahhh cr@p

[Mischief]

Oh no! Have a play with the song title! It opens it up so much more to interperatation. You cant not be in the final!

[GoneBatty]

i took 3 or 4 of the kids this evening, MIGHT be able to make something of one of those, if not ill try for something after work tomorrow just to submit something for the last week lol

[Mischief]

Thats great Claire! :)

I better start getting the porfolios together! LOL :D

[Mischief]

Okay.... Tick Tick Tick... :D

Who's going to submit their final photo today? :) :) :)

[JJAZ]

Thanks for the reminder Kat!!

I will most likely upload at the last minute. I had a clear idea for my inspiration but i just could not seem to get it to come across the RIGHT way. So will see what else i can come up with today!!

Happy Snapping! cant believe its been 5 weeks since we started - time goes way to fast!

Cant wait to see the portfolios!

[Mischief]

You have done a great job from the ones Ive seen. Cant wait to see what else you try!

:D

[larlee]

This was sooooo much fun, wish I had more time on some but all in all I'm pretty proud of my effort :yes:

Good luck everyone, some beautiful shots in there.

Well done everyone fantastic shots!!!

[Mischief]

Great job everyone! Im so excited, and cant quite believe the challenge went so fast! Seriously, was it really 5 weeks ago?!?!!!!!!!

No problems about organising it, thank you all for participating. It was so much fun! :D Very talented photographers here!

[Mischief]

Voting thread is HERE (http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?t=378303).

So, what do people think about doing another challenge? Maybe after Xmas? :)

[larlee]

Defiantly another after xmas, how about we have a mini xmas special, bit more relaxed, just something like make a compilation of 5 images that best represent your christmas!! with just an end date. What do you think?

[7rugrats]

Thank you Mischief for organising this for us, you have done a fantastic job. :D
It has been a lot of fun and great for getting the creative juices flowing.
Well done everyone on the fantastic entries.

[aLittleLoopy]

Aggghhh!! Mischief, I have had no internet since Friday morning and it just got fixed this morning. Stupid Telstra said there was an outage at the exchange. On top of that my car is getting fixed for rego and is currently with my uncle (a mechanic), since Thursday,and my DP was in Sydney for his mother's birthday! I had no car and no internet for days!!

Can I please, please make a late entry?? I took a picture on Sunday, not amazing, but something :yes:

BTW great work everyone and I can't wait until the next challenge!!

[Mischief]

Thats fine with me Cass (unless anyone has any objections?). Just pop the link up and I'll fix it. :) I wondered where you got too!!!!

[aLittleLoopy]

Woo hoo :yelclap: thanks Kat!

I'll put it up on the entries thread.

I'm so annoyed at Telstra for taking so long. I work from home and so missed out on work too :hair:

[ElizaDoLittle]

Defiantly another after xmas, how about we have a mini xmas special, bit more relaxed, just something like make a compilation of 5 images that best represent your christmas!! with just an end date. What do you think?Oooooohhhhh I like that!

[Mischief]

That sounds like fun Larlee. Would you like to organize it? :)

[chicken and eggs mum]

Larlee - mini challenge sounds wonderful!!!

[larlee]

sure I'd love to, I might need some pointers when it comes to putting the the voting together tho, haven't the foggiest how you did it :confused: i don't have a flicker acc, could i do it using photobucket?

[aLittleLoopy]

:yelclap: larlee! :santa:

[lala77]

All I've got to say is WOW!! It's fantastic having everyone's sets together!! Thanks heaps Mischief!! You're a gem!! :yelclap:

I'm keen for a mini Christmas challenge if it's happening!! Very exciting!

[Mischief]

No problems. :) I thought it would make it easier for everyone to see. :D LOL Bit of a perfectionist. :o

[BrookeandLou]

Anyone else keen to do this again?

[aLittleLoopy]

Anyone else keen to do this again?

A lot of us are doing a 365. But maybe this could work into that and give us some direction while we're doing it? Does someone want to organise that? I'm too hopeless :D:freakingout:
