Photography Challenge
For Christmas III & I purchased a Nikon D3100.
It was our gift to each other (i.e. I’ll enjoy the camera
& he’ll enjoy what it produces).
& he’ll enjoy what it produces).
I’ve learned some things here & there, but I know there is SO much more I need to know.
And therefore, I need to practice.
Enter exhibit A:
{Everyone is welcome & you can jump in at any point. Just check above to see what week we are on. The link party begins every Thursday & runs through the following Wednesday.}
I’ve seen several similar ideas floating around Pinterest & the blogosphere, including this one from
White Peach Photography. However, I missed the boat to participate. boo.
Using her list as inspiration I rewrote a challenge of my own (above) adding a few, altering a few, keeping several.
It will start next Thursday, July 28th and run for 20 weeks. I know it’s kind of a long time period, but trying to find a photo everyday…just the thought stresses me out a little.
Running the challenge weekly gives you a week to find each photo (i.e. not consuming your life).
And believe me, us novices out here, need a week!
And believe me, us novices out here, need a week!
Then on Thursdays come over & share your fabulous work!
All you need is a camera & a little inspiration.
My friend Emily & I are in! Are you?
**If enough are up for the challenge, I’ll add a link party & each Thursday you can upload your image via your blog, flicker, etc. Just leave a comment if you want to participate! I know we’ll all learn a lot seeing through eachother’s lenses.
Add the button below to your blog if you are participating. It’ll help spread the word!

This sounds so fun! I am totally going to do this! I just have a point and shoot Kodak camera, so this will be fun… :)
HA! I didn’t realize how old this post was!! HAHA!

This looks like so much fun! Actually, I can't wait to tell my dad! He's our self proclaimed photographer. :) He gets good shots on purpose. I get shots on accident…every once in a while.
I am in the market for a new camera and after a lot (lot!!!) of research I have decided on this exact camera. Do you love it?? Any concerns? Just curious before I make the big commitment, lol. Thanks for this challenge!!
I know I am a little late to the party but I would like to join too. Thanks for the inspiration to get the practice I need!
I'm in!
I am really excited to give this a GO! I have a widdle ole point and shoot, but my friend could be persuaded to let me play with her Nikon- which I totally covet!
Thank you for organizing this!

I'm a new reader and I'd love to participate! I'm a day late, but I'll definitely get my post up!
I'd like to try too. I don't have a fancy camera either but would like to learn to take better photos and hopefully convince my hubby I need a nicer camera. ;)
This sounds like so much fun. Im in.
I really like this idea! I just spent our weekend road trip flipping through my camera's manual! And while I think I take too many pictures rather than struggle to take them each week, I'll happily be displaying your button and joining in! Thanks for your efforts on this, Laura Beth!
I would love to participate-can't promise good photos, but I will give it a go! :)
Just purchased a new Canon Rebel. This will be fun!
I'd love to participate! It sounds like fun!
This sounds really fun!
Ohh! I'm in! Better get cracking!
I am in…It sounds like heaps of fun!
I'm in! And I am super excited :) I've just started blogging about my photography. Hoping to make it as a professional eventualy… but I definitely can use the practice :)
I'm IN! So fun, thanks for hosting this challenge! I got a new camera this past Christmas and this is just what I need to get going!
I'm in too! The challenge inspired me to create a blog to display my efforts. It's only a newborn blog but the challenge will fuel some posts!

Hmmm…I think I am in! I have no blog or flicker account, but will enjoy watching and experimenting with my fairly new DSLR…will tie in nicely with my Project Life Album as well…
Hi Laura,
Thanks for helping me out! I can't wait to participate. Sounds like fun and I love my Nikon D70. Any excuse to create beautfiful photos is a good excuse! This is a great idea. I'll promote your challenge in my future posts.
I'm in :) will be posting my pics on my new blog: http://www.SweetLifebyMel.blogspot.com
So excited! Just started following your blog and I LOVE IT!

I just purchased a Canon Rebel and sooo desperately need to learn how to use it. I'm in!
I am in, just learning how to link and add these blog buttons!
I'm in! Been looking for a photo challenge I can keep up with. :)
I'm in! I'm in! Sounds like so much fun!!!!!
I just recently purchased the D3000 so this is perfect for me! I have never done anything like this before but I do have my own blog. Any tips for a newbie?
I am in!! I have just got me 3100 last weekend so this will be a great way to practise!! Thank you!!

Great idea! I only have a compact camera (DSLR is something on my 'if only' list! but I'd love to participate in this–I definitely need more practice with the camera (am getting lazy with photography!)
I want to play… I love this idea. I'm visiting Crome Tatertotsandjello and now a new follower.

I have a Canon and I love it! I oftentimes just throw it into my big tote and bring it with me in case I find inspiration away from home. I probably take 50-100 photos a week from this plus all of my projects. Tip for ya, always have a back-up SD card with you. Nothing like forgetting the card in the computer and having to stalk gift shops and overpaying for a new one when you need it. When you get used to your camera I think that you will always have it close at hand.
Hi! Just discovered your blog … can't quite remember how and if you don't mind a stranger crashing the party, I'm in. I need a good challenge to get me taking pictures again. Thanks for the push, I'm really looking forward to this.
I am in. :) I did a 365 photography project a couple of years ago, and it was fantastic. This will be fun to help me get back into photographing something other than stuff for my blog!

Hi Laura Beth, I love a challenge! I am in. My point and shoot will soon be replaced with a DSLR, so this is a very interesting challenge for me. I have everything to learn! Each step sounds fun.
When does it begin? I am going to follow you now!

Count me in too. I'm convinced my camera sucks but maybe it's just my lack of experience. :) Thanks for hosting!
I am soooo in! Although, my camera is an oldie/non fancy thaang!
Thank you for organizing this!

I don't own a fancy camera, but would like to participate.
You already know I'm in, can't wait! Maybe I'll finally learn how to use my camera =)
I am going to try and fit it in…It will give me a good reason to get out my Canon Rebel and actually use it ;)
I don't have a fancy camera, but I would like to participate. I love taking pictures and would like to learn more!
I want to participate. It will force me to learn more about my camera and step up my blogging :)
I am in- I don't have a fancy camera, just a point and shoot, but I think I can definitely do better with my photos- and practice can't hurt anything.
Oh! Sounds like fun! I've been wanting to join a photography challenge, but hate joining something that's already started. :) I'll try to participate & join your linky party.
Gotta love a Nikon! I have a Nikon D40 that I got for Mother's Day 2010. (big splurge, I know!)
