Presumptuous of me I know, as the new guy, but be keen to involve others in some of @MoonMind and my recent thoughts on a film challenge.
Many, many moons ago on Serious Compacts I kicked off the "Single In" challenges. A photo-a-day challenge restricting the shooter to one camera/lens combination for a month with results posted to site ASAP for comment by others. Great thing about this challenge is the personal discipline it builds as you focus on imagery daily and really get to know a camera/lens - rather than constantly flipping because you are bored before you really get to know it. Also a great thing about the challenge is it builds the community - as the stress and rigours of making and posting an image a day really brings participants together. So the spirit of this we'd like to foster here.
...however......
The constraints of the "Single In" project don't translate well to film. I mean you could do a photo-a-day on 36 exposures of 135, but then we'd just see a roll of film at month's end with little interaction in between. So ideas, ideas, ideas? Does anyone want to contribute any ideas?
One idea is a roll a week....easier on 120 granted but doable on 135 too.
But I'm hoping the brains trust here might have some other pearls of wisdom. Maybe it's not about frequency but a theme?
Hoping there are a few on here who'd like to participate. I believe @José was keen, weren't you mate? I'm happy to go and seek more members from Serious Compacts but I think that would be easier once we have a solid idea our project....that is if it needs more participants.
So step one is to solidify the idea and then also find out who's keen.
Could be fun guys
