I just had a great idea.
(this often happens to me in the shower, esp after one glass of whiskey, don't ask why).
How about all the PaD ppl where to do the "same" thing next thursday (13th) and every thursday after that?
I suggest technical based missions, such as DOF (deep or shallow), stopped motion, motion blur, bokeh, etc.
How about everybody do motion blur next thursday and then see how it goes.

I have to admit that I'm not sure if I'm sold in this idea...I've been using the PAD to challenge myself with new ideas and when I have an idea I like to try and capture it that day...or sometimes I will try and take a photo that has a connection with that day somehow.

But I will definitely at least try to have motion blur on my mind for next Thursday and see what I get...I just won't force myself too much...

I have enough trouble entering regular challenges :-)

But it's a neat idea nonetheless.

thursday is a weekday and weekdays aren't a good idea for this :)

I just think i'm starting a PAD today at buzznet. Anyone that are on that website i'd like to make an addition to you guys as a friend but cannot find everyone so if you like just look me up and add me as a friend if you like. Discraft.

About the challenge i think it's a good ideia.
The only problem i have is the hour difference from the states.

I've kept up for 7 days, taking a picture that moves me for whatever reason. I like the idea of little challenges now and again, but I probably wouldn't be inclined to participate EVERY Thursday if that particular kind of shot isn't what my heart leads me to take a picture of that day. Y'all have fun with it, I'll join in when I can. :o)

Hi
I did my part, did a motion blur for last thursday.
See:

and

What shall I do next? What is the challenge for next thursday?

For ppl interested in this, I just thought that since I'm out taking a photo for my P-a-D I might (once a week) try to have a micro-challenge. I'm more thinking (at the moment, at lest) on the technical side.

why don't you make the challenge whatever the member challenge was the previous week?
Or even look through the challenge history and see what the challenge was this time last year and use that? (painting with light)

I must have missed this thread the first time around... I'm up for the challenge. May not be able to keep it up each week, but I'll participate as much as I can. So what should we do this Thursday?

Good idea, do what was done last year. Next thursday is the 20th.

Painting with light member challenge Jan. 19 2004 - Jan. 25 2004
Details: Use a non-stationary light source (for example, a moving flashlight in your hand) as the primary method of illuminating your subject in a creative manner.

or
Road signs revisited Open Challenge Jan. 14 2004 - Jan. 20 2004
Details: It's that time of year again. Wish us all a happy second birthday.

or the original #1 challenge: Road Signs Open challenge, Jan. 14 2002 - Jan. 31 2002
Details: Take a photograph of a road sign or road signs found anywhere throughout the world. Be Creative, and Good Luck!

Or maybe even do all the challenges is chronological order :)

I actually like the last idea the best. Redo the whole thing and compare. I wasn't around for the first time, so this could be very interesting.
