26 Things: Novemeber 2008
Alright everyone, you've had your break. Now get BACK TO WORK!
Novemeber's 26Things will be the classic version... a typical photographic scavenger hunt, as originated by Traci of www.Sh1ft.org .
The rules are simple, although they have been slightly modified for this round:
1. Shoot one of these subjects every day.
I've found that it's best to print the list, and keep it (and your camera) with you for the next month. There is no particular order this time, so just mark them off as you go along.
2. Post that subject by Noon on the following day.
Failure to shoot and/or post by the deadline will result in the required 'penalty shot,' which is a self portrait, as well as the make-up shot, for that word. Now, since there are 26 things, and 30 days, that gives you 4 days of grace where no post is required. Use them wisely, and call them out. If you post on day 2, and skip day 3, post a 'Grace Day No. x' entry before you post your day 4.
3. Challenge yourself.
For those of us with DSLR's and the more advanced point & shoots, it has been suggested that your challenge will be to shoot in a manual mode, and post those manual settings. That is, Av, Tv, or M. If you have a DSLR, and you don't know what those things are, get your owners manual out, or ask a friend. For those of you who wish to participate, but have not yet made the jump to DSLR, the same thing applies: Read your book, and do things with your camera that you are not used to doing. Get creative. In any case tell us, what you are doing. Include your manual settings, or lighting notes, or white balance shifts, etc., as part of your post.
4. Challenge a friend.
We all need some accountability. Find someone to shoot with (or against), and add them to the mix. It's an open invitation, people. Make a bet with someone over who will post the most, or the earliest, or with the fewest grace days. It will help you both stay motivated. (This is really more of a suggestion than a rule, but it's very helpful)
OK, so here's the list. Interpret it as you will. It's actually the July 2005 list from www.Sh1ft.org , the orginator of the game. Shooting should begin on November 1, and your first post should be online prior to noon on November 2.
