Photo a day 2015

[maviczap]

All hail the new thread!!!!

Usual rules apply, but just to try and keep things fresh, I'm going to suggest that random weekly themes can be used. So for instance someone might say that Transport is the theme for a week.

This doesn't mean you can't throw in another photo, because it isn't the theme.

Or the theme will be black & white photo's. Somat like that

Just so long as it doesn't conflict with the monthly photo comp.

Hope everyone's happy with that?

Now get shooting

I really don't like the theme idea. I thought the thread was was so you can post up a photo from the day that just reflects what you've been up to, where you've been, something that catches your eye. Sometimes it might be an image that's taken you a while to set up with lights and a tripod, or just grabbed an image on your phone as mine often are. If you introduce a theme it becomes prescriptive and we already have that for photo of the month. I think it will kill it.

[maviczap]

Its not compulsory, you can still post up ANYTHING you want, and it's going to be completely random, no prescriptive dates.

It might be for instance, just post up a B&W photo if you can today or tomorrow. If you don't then no problem.

Otherwise I'm just going to let it run like it has done, I've no intention of competing with the other Monthly photo comp

Sorry it's blurred, but I was taking the dog for a walk this morning, early doors & thought I'd take this on my mobile.

Very jealous of those Richie, hope to call by there when I was up in Haltwhistle but didn't get the chance in the end. Looks great at night!

Mav: I'm liking the idea of themes or topics, just throw one up and see what others take on the idea is, given that it's informal there can be none or multiple topics "active" at any time. doing it as an option in the photo a day thread could work well, it wouldn't work as a separate thread though IMHO.

We've been doing it anyway really, one takes a picture of the moon and others follow, this just makes it easier to declare open season on a topic rather than risking treading on peoples toes.

Liking the christmas decs Mister_C, although the broken stripes in the trees always bug me, same in Glasgow too.

My thinking was just to give this years thread a bit of an occasional challenge and impetus, to make you guys go out and take a picture.

The very first photo a day thread was a challenge, as it forced everyone to post a picture a day, every day for a year.

But sometimes that was a bit too much of challenge for me as the OP, to ensure the thread kept on track.

By introducing a random challenge once in a while might give this years thread a bit of freshness?

Right a bumper photo fest from me
