This really sounds like a lot of fun! I have to get in on this!

I'd love to join in

Is everyone invited to join ? Like a real novice like me knows nothing about settings, speeds, additional lenses, if so count me in

Ruthie,

I believe that one of the MAIN reasons for these assignments is for novice photographers to join. This is a great way to get people out and use their cameras and learn about those things like shutter speed, aperture, etc. So, yes, please join in!

Well thank you Andy I have plenty to learn, I don't have a fancy camera and have never even changed any of the settings just leave it on auto but I have (timidly) been posting and most importantly I love to take pictures so count me in too!

The one thing I learned from doing a scavenger hunt in real life is that the rules need to be pretty clear because the "interpretation factor" can cause havoc at the end. (Thinking of my DH and his team who cheated big time. )

I think I have the rules pretty well set in my mind. Will write them up when I post the thread, which should be in a little while. Thoughts on rules, please speak now or forever hold your peace.

Putting my list to "paper" while I drink my coffee. Am up to G.

I decided to go with a lot of items since that gives lots of options for everyone, seeing we all have varying schedules and territiories, etc. People can do as many or as few as they wish. It will be a competition so hopefully the motivation factor will be relatively high.

I saw some fireflies last night and I was tempted to get a jump start on things but I didn't. Pictures have to be NEW starting today or tomorrow - after the thread is posted.

Linda - I'm determined to give your scavenger hunt a try! I've been in the photography "blahs" lately and haven't been posting much, mainly because I haven't been taking many pictures. Maybe this is what I need to get me going again. It's summer, my flowers are blooming, vacation time is getting closer (we're heading out to Mt. Rushmore later this summer - I can't wait!!!).

Shout out to Andy - I haven't been posting, but I've been lurking, and I haven't seen you around these parts much either. Good to see you again!!

 

[NateNLogansDad]

Suspense is killing me!

 

[Pea-n-Me]

OMG, I am dying here. Way too many words and phrases I *can't* use.

Almost done...

 

[ElizK]

I'm going to try to play, too! I keep seeing things I'd like to photograph, but it's not ever convenient... and now it's HOT. But I'm going to get out there are shoot something!!
