I got some new camera kit for Christmas – more about that soon. I love photography, but I forget that I like taking great photos and just end up taking everyday photos. So, I thought a challenge was in order. I looked online for a challenge, but couldn’t find one that was going to start this year, and that I was happy with. Everyone was doing daily challenges, or a challenge with a photo a day for a month, or challenges with boring (or overly simple) topics.
In the end, I decided to come up with my very own 52 weeks of photos challenges. Why not? I didn’t use topics or ideas that I already had photos to match, but just looked around for random ideas that I liked.
Here’s the challenge – I am going to take a photo a week for 52 weeks, thinking about the topics below. AND, I’d love it if anyone wanted to join me. If you join, please link to my blog (https://bluedaisyz.wordpress.com/), or tweet to @blue_daisyz . I’m going to try and post my picture every week on Monday, but if you’re joining, post whenever you can! Please feel free to comment on the photos – I’m learning and just enjoying having a go!
Here’s the challenges – Photos for 52 Weeks – if I’ve attached it correctly, it SHOULD download as a pdf!
Enjoy – can’t wait to get the camera out, and to see all your pics, hopefully! First week’s topic is ‘new’.

Good luck 🙂 … I might well join in
Please do! 🙂
LOVE your photos Garry – not on Instagram at the mo – so not able to ‘like’ – but i do LIKE!!!
lol, thank you 🙂
What a nice idea! I would like to join in. My camera is lame, but that is no excuse. I will give it more thought as this month is a bit madness with me leaving for school. I will sleep on it and let you know. What a great motivator it would be though…
It’s about the fun, not the quality! Would love to have the company!
Love that it’s one photo a week and that you have some different ideas that can totally be left up to a person’s interpretation. I think I’ll join you in this!
Very glad to hear it, Yvonne!
Hi Yvonne, Don’t know if you will get this but if you do you might like to hear of a new Photo Challenge for 2016: https://daffodilwild.wordpress.com/2015/12/29/joy/
It would be great if you wanted to join us!

Hi how! Easier said than done… I think links and me don’t do well together!
Nope! I did try honest! Duh!

Hi Jamie, I have so enjoyed your Photo Challenge! and have kept going – the end is in sight and I actually feel like I might get to complete it, much to my amazement! I will misss it next year. I get the feeling you might be taking a break from blogging and the Photo Challenge – would you like to create a list for next year? I don’t mind ‘hosting’ it at Wild Daffodil, OR I was wondering about inviting the Bluedaisy participants to come up with some prompt words to create a list for next year. Please let me know how you would feel about that. Wishing you all the best and a HUGE thank you for your list it has been FUN!

Hi Jamie, I’m hoping you will get this message.
Four of us have created a new list for 2016: https://daffodilwild.wordpress.com/2015/12/29/joy/
Thank you again for being such an inspiration – I did it! I posted 52 photos I’m quite staggered by that! I’ve loved it.
Please do join the 2016 Challenge if you pick up the reins again.
Happy 2016
Sandra
