New Forum Request...

Unread post by Lonnie Utah »

Not really sure where to put this one, so it ends up here.

I'm on another site that has a forum that is dedicated to "photo a day". Basically someone starts a new thread everyday and everyone posts 1 pic that they shot that day. I must say, it's been really fun trying to get out everyday to shoot SOMETHING. :)

Would it be possible so set something like that up here, maybe in the photo discussion section?

Just a suggestion.

Wouldn't it be more practical if they were shot yesterday? I usually process photos the next day.

How it works is that you can post in that thread whenever you want, even 6 months or a year later. The point is a pic from that day.

However folks want to do it, it's a lot of fun. One person there posts a different pic of their cat(s) everyday. I try to get something as different as I can.

I'll certainly consider it. But if we do it, I think it must be 'of the day' and not 'off the card I just decided to take out of the camera after a month'.

I think thats the intention Dave. If I took a photo today, it should be posted under 3 Dec 2009. I might post it a day or two from now, but it was a record of that day. The thread titiles would simple be 3 Dec 2009 - Thursday, 4 Dec 2009 - Friday, etc. I've never seen folks post anything older than 2,3,4 days....

:D I sometimes send daily photos Lonnie!

And I know it's fun and rather challenging time and occupationwise.

I think it's a nice thought.

I really like the idea, especially because if it catches on it will provide a very interesting historical record of "a day" in the history of Photoclubalpha. It would be great to be able to go back to a date a couple of years ago and view a slide show of what everyone was taking pictures of that day (and with what?).

Would this be restricted to Alpha-mount pictures only?

And that should go with a rule:do not submit pictures you have taken outside before midnight. :wink:
