Hi Stephanie!
Oh at last! I am so glad you've revived this thread and you're interested in Photography challenges, even some at BellaOnline too - It'll be a wonderful way to develop your photographic skills, grow creatively and it's such a great way for us to share our photography!
Great news is I'm planning on creating a BellaOnline Photography Challenge for all of us here! The challenge will be set monthly, and it'll feature three different categories/subjects to choose from, for instance one month could be: flowers, cold, and old buildings...
You can then choose to work on these however you like, you can plan to work on a different category each week of the month, or just stick on exploring one for the whole month. I�ll also write an article part way through the monthly challenge, with extra hints and tips, and extra creative ideas for you on those challenges. Toward the end of the month we can all share how we�ve got on by posting our pictures in the forum here and we can all get together in the BellaOnline chat room, share our work and discuss how we got on!
Would be great to know your feedback on this idea, would you be interested in a monthly photography challenge? Let me know your thoughts!
