Updates and requests

I've had a request for more buzz words in a week, so this week we'll be posting 3 words to start out.  If that's still to easy, we'll up the ante to 5 or 10.  Can't wait to see everyone's images!

Welcome to the Hunt!

Welcome Friends to the photography scavenger hunt!

Get your cameras ready, those batteries charged and those lenses cleaned - it's time to get out there and shoot!

Here is how the hunt will work:


  • Each week, 1 buzz word or phrase will be posted and you can post up to 3 images for the word.  
  • If you post more then one image, please do so all the the same post, so as not to take up too much page space - and all "medium" images. 
  • You can interpret the word in any way you like.  Nothing has to be literal.
  • I recommend putting your name on your image.  (if you need help with this let me know)
  • We'll have a whole week to take and post our image.  
  • The weeks start and end on Friday.   
  • Vote for your favorite image in a comment - the image with the most comments for the week wins. 
  • The winner gets to pick the next week's topic.  - It can be anything but it has to be interpretable, so try not to make it too literal - like Mickey or Hotel.  Instead try - "character" or "vacation destination". 
  • To keep it going, if you can't post a new buzz word, I or the runner up will post one the following Saturday morning.  
  • the only rules for the photos you post are:
  1. It has to be clean and,
  2. It has to be your photo! (try not to cheat and use an old one).
It doesn't matter what type or how much gear you have and phone camera images are absolutely okay. 

Any of this strategy can be revised with suggestions at any time and new topics can be suggested at any time by anyone - just post what you'd like to see!  There are both pros and beginners on here...but I'm so looking forward to seeing all your lovely images that I know I'll be jealous I didn't take myself.  =)

Here are a fez buzz words that you can look forward too:

  • A Smile
  • Quiet
  • A reflection
  • A tradition
  • A texture
