Default Photo Challenges?

So I was wondering if anyone would be interested in some photography challenges and book reviews on this board? Katie said that we can post our photos in the gallery if we'd like. If we get enough posters she might make us our own category. If anyone is interested in participating and has some great challenge or book ideas, say so here. I am thinking it could be low key. A new challenge every 2-4 weeks perhaps? Or instead of challenges we could just post our favorite photo each week? Ideas welcomed!

OK ladies, I'll come up with something this weekend and post it soon (after I get a picture taken). Feel free to chime in with ideas if you think of them. I'll check into a book or two also. I read a great one lately that is popular.

It sounds like a great idea, Heidi. I am such an amateur at photography, but maybe this will give me an incentive to try harder!

I would love that Heidi! I participated in a newbie challenge on another site and learned so much. We covered stuff like white balance, depth of field, shutter speed, aperture, and composition. I am just about to order Bryan Peterson's "Understanding Exposure" book and would love to share what I learn from that.

I personally would love some constructive criticism on my photos. How about if we put a tag line "cc's welcome" on our photo descriptions if we want feedback?
