Ashanali Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The official treasure hunt list: home portrait vegetable look up! water mobile glass/es night lights music child old landscape/streetscape eyes mineral key best friend collections pink dance tree and for those who are wanting to extend the challenge - after you have your first 20, you can tackle these next eight: food stamp car drama secret something you leave behind shapes shadow The idea of this challenge is to think outside the square. For each item, think about alternative meanings that the words could have and how you might be able to work them into something you can photograph. The challenge isn't to post as quickly as possible, your goal should be to shoot the list of 20 by the end of the month and be happy with the work you post. If you finish the first 20 photos and want to challenge yourself further then have a go at the last 8. Some of the subjects are more difficult than others but most of them should be 'accessible' in some way or another. I can't wait to see how people go with these subject. Most importantly: HAVE FUN!!! :D (btw - I have already had an idea for March :p ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Cant wait to get started, will this be the official thread where we post the pics, or will you put one in the top part like the January challenge. Thanks so much for organising the challenges, I have had a ball with Januarys and think my photos have improved heaps since I started and it is great to be able to get lots of inspiration from others photos. 4 of the shots I took for January are now hanging on my wall in frames, (all dog shots of course) Im already thinking about the treasure hunt it should be a lot of fun.

Ashanali Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 This will be the thread to post the photos in. I have PM'd Troy and asked if he would be so kind as to pin the topic in the same place as January so we might be moved pretty soon. Can I also ask the members who are joining into the challenge who also post on Flickr to add their photos to the DOLers photo pool please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Yay. I've been waiting to see the list There are some wonderful things on there.

Evolving Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I would like to join the game except for two tiny problems. I have no imagination and I go not own any type of camera. Ok I do own one that still runs on film. I will still have fun looking at peoples amazing photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poocow Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Fantastic! Can't wait to start Will post in the flickr group too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashanali Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 Evolving - sure you can join in! If you are shooting on film, just ask them to scan it to a disc at the time it's developed. Then you'll be able to share your work with us. The creativity thing is secondary - the main aspect is to just have fun. Good luck with the challenge.

Poodle Mum Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Cool list Do we post pics as we get them or in a "job lot" after we have collected the lot?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashanali Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 It is up to you how you want to post them Everyone will be different, some people may choose to do the task as a photo a day still, others may shoot half on one weekend and half on the other. It is up to you when you choose to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been meaning to for a long time but I do not really have many things to take photos of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
