Challenge: 1 Room, 24 Exposures
I turned down the first person to ask me to come up with the challenge (because I was busy at the time and horribly intimidated by the whole thing. Yes, me.) but when Pyro asked, I simply couldn’t say no. (You should have asked for something more interesting. The answer would still probably have been yes!)Your new challenge may sound a little familiar. That’s because I’ve mentioned this little exercise before. It goes like this: Pick one room in your house. Only one. Stay in it until you’ve shot 24 exposures. Don’t preview. Don’t delete. Just shoot. Then pick the best three images you’re left with. No PSing beyond the basics (sharpening, cropping, straightening, etc.). Post those and tell us if you learned anything, if it helped you see things differently, was it easy or hard, was it fun or a pain in the ass.
I picked my kitchen because I’d always shot this exercise in a bathroom—wanted the change plus my kitchen is small. But I remembered why this is fun for me and, lo and behold, during the course of playing, I finally discovered how to operate the manual mode on my little point-and-shoot! (Okay, it only took me three years.)
So try it out or don’t, post or don’t. My obligation is done here. And JustPeachy goes next. Lucky girl!
