I haven't forgotten about this blog, honest!

So here's the long schpeal about my Photo Challenge:

Creating My Own PhotoHunt Challenge~!

I have been feeling inspired to get better at taking photos, and when I saw the facebook 30-day photo challenge that my friend, See, started to do, I immediately loved the idea!

So I compiled ideas from different photo-hunt blogs, plus a few of my own that I’ve been wanting to challenge (such as techniques I’ve read about online and in magazines).

My challenge is to take photos and select a single photo to represent each of these concepts and post them up, one photo per month.

I will be using the manual setting on my camera in order to learn more about what each function does. Then I will try to post process the photo as little as possible, unless the technique/photo concept calls for more post processing.

There will be a total of 12 photos, ranging from January to December 2011.

This is the list of websites where I’ve drawn inspiration:

These are the techniques I will be challenging:

And this is the list of photo concepts I will be hunting for:
