30 Days!

[katrinak]

I just realized today is DAY 30 for a lot of us doing the 30 Day Challenge! What fun it has been!! Thanks Heidi for the inspiration!

I think Melanie posted EACH DAY over in our Flickr Group! Woohoo!

I'm in for another 30

And just in case you missed some of the highlights in the gallery...

Katrina,

Thank you for setting up the gallery at Flickr. It has been so inspiring to look at all of the photos. I am in for another 30 days also!

Look at you go with that collage! Cool, Katrina! And, I'm still there... just have been so busy... sigh... I feel guilty for not posting much... sigh... (I sigh alot when I'm sad! )

what an awesome collage! thanks for the inspiration, everyone! it was totally fun.

i'd love to keep going. hopefully life won't get in the way this time.

Since I didn't join until day 25, I'd definitely love another 30 days! There have been some wonderful photos for inspiration!

I am all done too, have my 30 photos and might upload photos to the Flickr gallery from time to time, but after 1500 photos in 30 days I seriously have to stop with the improptu photo session, my HD just can't handle it LOL
I am not even shooting RAW, imagine if I was??!!! and actually, I intend to start, I was put off by the editing need when I first start shooting RAW, but now I don't see anything wrong with having to open my photos in Lightroom, again, my only problem is HD space, so I just have to take it easy on the quantity and focus on the quality

Heidi, thank you so much for this exercise, I have learned a lot.
Katrina, thanks for organizing everything and introducing me to Flickr, I am hooked
All of you girls that took the plunge, thank you so much for sharing your lives and all the inspiration, love it all!

wow, thanks for putting that collection together katrina! it was so much fun. i'm happy to keep going, but i'm going to miss posting as of next week. it's time for vacation!!!!

I started the challenge and then didn't finish - sorry guys! The 7 photo shoots in a row kicked my booty.

I missed a few days, but I'll be going for another 30!

My HD took a beating, too, so at first, I just kept made copies of all original files on a DVD and just kept my favorite ones on my HD. Later on, I tried to limit my number of shots to 24.

I started late so am not to 30 days, but I think I'll keep going after I reach 30 days. Some days I take a lot of photos and work on something, other days I just take a few random photos, and then there are the days I take no photos at all. I figured it was most important to post something, so the days I didn't take any photos I just picked on a photo I'd taken on the same date say 3 months, or 6 months, or a year prior. What fun this has been!

[connieg]

Katrina, love the collage you created.
Life events kept me from posting all of the last 30 days, but I'm willing to keep going and will try to keep up. I have photos from the last 3 days, I just need to get them uploaded. My internet has been giving me a fit, so it may take a day or 2 to get them posted.

I don't think it's really about the 30, it's more about just pulling out your camera and playing more. I skipped a big huge chunk of time, but I still learned so much from participating. So I'm in for 30 and whether I actually do 2, 13, 18 or more, it'll all be good.

PS Love the collage, Katrina

It was lots of fun, even though I didn't post I HAVE been snapping. Tanner actually LIKES the camera now (this week) . And wants to take his own pictures. (making momma proud) I have learned sooo much and I am having so much fun learning more every day! Maybe in 6-8 months, I might actually be good at it lol!!! Thanks Heidi and Katrina and everyone else who is playing along! Im in for another 30...maybe Ill try to post more this time!

Totally agree Terri! Some days I'd just take a photo with my phone so that I was taking something I loved just making it more of a habit to get the camera out daily! I had a bit of a light bulb moment with my flash and with shutter speed because of it!

[MinerQuad]

Ok ladies I'm new here (this is my very first post) and was wondering what this group is? Photography lessons? Can anyone join? Is it too late?

Thanks for any info!!

Amanda

[HeidiKnight]

Of course you can join! Everyone is welcome. Just join the flikr group and start posting your pictures. There are lost of posts in this category on aperture, shutter speed, etc. Either Katrina or I will post a new challenge now that the weather is getting nice again. I've got bluebonnet pictures with my girls soon, so look out for lots of spring shots!

[deanie]

This has been so much fun! I'm going to have to take more walks outside because I'm running out of things to take pictures of inside! I'm not quite finished with the first 30-but in for the next!!

HI there K!

We each started at a different point and are a flexible group So just jump in whenever you want and that will start your 30 days! We are more about taking photos every day and improving our skills than following rules
