hi all ..
we had a blast doing the resolution side challenge for January .. there were a heap of amazing photos posted .. and some excellent commenting going on ..
very motivating and inspiring ..
so thankyou Rachel RKT and Karen krnodil .. for creating it ..

a few ppl have showed an interest in doing something in March ..
please let us know .. here .. if you are interested and i'll add your name to the list ...
we have a whole month to decide on whether we want to have our own individual themes or one that is for everyone ..
this is the resolution sign up thread .. at the start of the thread ppl talk about themes and made suggestions .. might give you some ideas ..

here are some interested parties .. and their themes ..

vawendy .. Aquarium Shots
tanguera .. TBD .. but mostly I need to get my creative juices flowing again
glad2badad .. I have several Sears M42 mount lens that I've enjoyed having, although I keep picking up the 55/1.4 and the others need some exercise
flaherma .. just recently purchased a 50mm lens that I’d like to put through its paces...so, that’ll be my lens of choice for this side challenge

Thanks for starting this Roz. My Dad passed away January 8th and I could not manage to finish the challenge. I imagine I'll be ready to get back into things by March. This will be good motivation for me. Thank you again.

so sorry for your loss Patsy .. i sent you a pm ... xx

but i think that the side challenges are an excellent place for us to get together without the competitive element ..
we're here to inspire and grow together .. to feed and be fed .. the fact that the sides motivate ppl as well is something i hear all the time ..

the act of taking a photo is more like a meditation than anything else to me .. but then like a performer there's that desire to share what i have done ..
i think thats part of the beauty of the side challenges .. we share and get the feedback .. and learn from each other .. and the commenting i feel is just as important as the posting .. :)

I'm in as long as it isn't "pencil erasers" or "landscape"

You can also comment on pictures in the "regular" challenges without assigning a numerical vote.

Well, I can probably commit to submitting ONE picture to this challenge -- I do to almost every other one here -- but beyond that it depends on the theme (if any) and my work schedule ... :-)

I'm in, unless of course it turns out to be something like "create a plastic looking interpretation of reality" then I'm in Bora Bora sipping cocktails with the crabs.

No, depending on what the side challenge is you just shoot for that. There are no strict rules and as there are no scores everyone trusts the other, it’s a far more relaxed experience than the real challenges, you get comments if you comment and no one feels down because their picture isn’t doing well. The freedom to let it all out without the fear of the anal score geeks holding you back.
