Challenge

Hal has agreed to let me post this idea. The idea is to open a section on TTL to hold challenges. This post is to gauge interest and ask for ideas. We (the TTL group) would decide ahead of time how often to start a new challenge (possibly 2 weeks, 3 weeks, even weekly or monthly.) One member would be the host of the current challenge. They would decide what the theme of the challenge would be. Near the end of the challenge, the host would pick the next host from those interested in hosting. That way, anyone who wants to host a challenge will have an opportunity. Challenge photos would be put into the Challenge gallery. At the end of the challenge, we would move the entries into a sub-gallery of the Challenge gallery and start anew.
Some ideas for challenges are self-portraits (Michael’s idea), colors, music, poem, landscapes, portraits, whatever you want. Another idea that is fun is for the host to put up an unprocessed file that has challenges. Everyone would download the file and fix it up creatively…then repost.
This is meant to be fun. There is no pressure to participate. Hopefully, we could all grow photographically.

If you are interested, please at least leave an “I’m in” in a comment, but I hope everyone will give feedback with ideas or suggestions. If you don’t like the idea, feel free to tell me.

I too, would have a problem with the time thing, however I think it's a wonderful idea, and I can't wait to see all the creative ideas this amazing group of photographers comes up with! Great suggestion Cindy.

Sounds like a great Idea, and makes our group more interactive.
I m in

Thanks for joining in everyone.
Pete, no worries. This is just a friendly, no pressure exercise. If you have a busy time in your life, you don't have to participate.

Michael has agreed to kick this off as the first Challenge "host". Watch for more from him. We are going to use the spot on the bottom row (has a flower on there now) as the Challenge gallery.

I'm up for it in theory but might find the time hard to come by.

Definitely IN, Cindy.
100%
Thanks for the great idea!

Bob, We are making this up as we go along. Unless someone has a reason to put a limit on, I think "no limit to the number of posts" is a great idea. Just make sure to fill in the name field when you post your work.
Steve Mockford01-Dec-2010 02:18
Agreed - I think this sounds like it could be fun. I'm in.
Terry_O01-Dec-2010 02:17
I'm always up for new ideas. So, count me in.

This sounds like fun. I think it might be motivational as well, especially in the colder months when it is easy not to go out with the camera. I'm in. :-)

Question: Is there a 1 photo per person limit on submissions? (Hopefully not.)
