Should you accept this challenge, you will have to make an attempt to do some shooting in the month's theme. Being monthly, you could do this alongside other photography projects. Or you could decide to just do the theme for an entire month and nothing else! As long as you commit to posting your best shot of the theme to the monthly thread which I'll create in the Mini-Challenges sub-forum.
Any cameras and lenses allowed. Shoot whatever you want. There will be no judging so no pressure. Just post and comment on your learning experience if you want.
Extra bonus bragging rights if you commit to taking a picture daily in the theme!

I'l try it.

[Ttedders]

I will give it a try. Noticed you are just a little over a hundred miles up the road from me. I'm in Macon.

Nice, I like Macon, not far from here indeed! Back in my musician days, the nicest studio I ever recorded in was in Macon.

I think I"m going to go ahead and create the January thread!

Edit: January thread is up: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/26-mini-challenges-games-photo-stories/4...ml#post4881867

Well, I sign up. The challenge will be to arrive in December, with some worthwhile photo.

Sounds like fun. I'm going to try to get through all 12, but sometimes life gets in the way of hobbies. Count me in!

That is why I thought monthly makes sense. Some months you might be posting every day... some months you might not take pictures for a couple of weeks and still come up with at least one or two for the monthly theme

I'm in, CR! Sounds like a fun, and definitely doable idea. Happy New Year 😀

[ramseybuckeye]

Splendid Idea, I'm in!

[Geodude]

I'll give it a shot... or more.

Happy New Year to you as well, Paul, and to everyone reading this!

Splendid Idea, I'm in!

Thanks. Looking forward to your pictures and from everyone else from the forum. I want to see how everyone does with each theme. This month's theme is relaxed enough to reel everyone in and I'm also looking forward to seeing how you guys (and gals) do with black and white and/or film in February!

You can post one for the month, or one per week, or choose to post one daily for the monthly theme. It's a very low pressure, fun-focused exercise
