I thought I'd create this thread so that I will take more photos. I carry my camera with me wherever I go but rarely have the chance to use it. So, my inspiration is now to try and take at least one photo a day and I think that all of you with cameras should set yourself a similar challenge and see what we can come up with.

I'll kick things off with this that I took today:



I know it's not very good, but that in itself is a good thing as then we can comment on eachother's photos, give tips and all get progressively better at snapping the world.

I hope this catches on, as I feel it could be an interesting thread.

I sure will help you making this thread popular. I think we should set a rule of not more than one Picture a day.

I love the sky on your photo Overheat. The rest is somewhere between casual and art if you know what I mean.

Anyways, here is one I took a while ago, right by my house:

One Picture a day (per person that is) sounds like a good rule imo. And I know what you mean - thanks for the comments and faith Daniel

As for your picture, I admire the cheeky subtlety of it. It strikes me as daring for some reason. As a photograph, I think the colour is a little lacking and there's no particular subject matter, or so it seems. As art, I find it interesting. Keep up the good work

^How come your sky always looks so good? Its unfair!
I think its pretty good. You could make it a bit better with a quick mod in PS or whatever...Contrast up for instance...
Too bad you got that light pole in the middle. Other than that,

can we please keep the photos to a 1024 width maximum (here's looking at you Jason )

My internet connection was being a total bitch yesterday so I didn't get chance to post my pic, so here it is a little late. Decided to take a bit of a break from the sky, not sure about this one, but your opinions as always matter to me

^I like it. If it would be better cut on top, it would look very nice in a frame IMO. Keep up the good work my friend.
