WPSH - First Photos
Here are my first two photos for the Winter Photography Scavenger Hunt:
No. 1 | in the bag - I've gone for a literal interpretation of a giant music stave with music symbols and notes, all stored together in a checked cloth bag
No. 15 | letters - plastic letters originally used to create titles on cine films
There are a couple of first timers joining the WPSH this time so I'll quickly explain how the hunt works. Most importantly all the photos must be ones you have taken yourself during the hunt, i.e. between 1st December 2019 and 31st March 2020.
You can post as many photos as you like for each prompt and can be as creative as you want so if you like thinking outside of the box, then go for it! There's no hard and fast rule about when you post your photos on your blog. I prefer to post as and when I take them and then at the end of the hunt I will choose my favourite for each prompt. Some people wait until the end, some people do one post a month to show their photos. Do whatever works for you, there's no right or wrong answer.
I'll do a monthly link up so we can see how everyone is getting on. Please make sure you link to your scavenger hunt post, not just to your blog and please encourage the other participants by visiting their blogs and leaving a comment.
Oh ... and remember that the main aim of the hunt is to have fun!
I think I've covered everything but please let me know if I haven't answered your particular question.

Today I took my first photo of the scavenger hunt. I printed out the prompts and have been thinking about them. 😄
ReplyDeleteI think I will do a post every month.
Well done on getting your first photo. For some reason I always feel relieved to get the first two or three done, even though I still have most of the list to do!
DeleteGreat photos. I'd love to take part but keep forgetting! A sign of Old Age, maybe?

Thanks Joy. You just need to put your organised teacher's head back on and then you'll be fine ... print the list (on bright coloured paper so you can't miss it), carry it everywhere and use your phone for the photos if you forget your camera. If you forget your phone as well then .... maybe I agree with you 😂😂
DeleteThink of it as a good way to exercise ... plan your photos, then take your camera and list on a walk to actually take the photos.
Yay! You got your first two photos! I hope to get started, this week, now that the almsgiving is done! In fact, I saw something, today, that might qualify for the first prompt, but, I was too busy to stop to take a picture!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing whatever it is that caught your eye.
