February Challenge; Ready, set, go!
Today marks the beginning of the February Challenge, a challenge focused on growing our understanding of color theory in photography. The announcement post covered the details and the guidelines. Then, my “It’s almost here” post helped teach us even more, with a few links.
So, now that it’s here, let’s keep tabs on each other’s work by tracking our tagged images on Flickr and Zooomr, the primary location for the participants in this challenge. On Flickr, take note of photos that were taken in February, 2008. (I’ll be tagging my photos “februarychallenge” AND “februarychallenge2008″.)
Here’s my first few images to start us off. I’ve chosen green as my color for the week. Since this week starts on Friday, and ends this weekend, I figured that I only had a few days to get a few good ones. I won’t only shoot 3 a week. In fact, I hope to shoot much more. When I’m done, I think I’ll gather my favorite three from each week. Those may be what I publish in my Challenge book.

Hey Trevor, I’m really excited about this challenge!
Btw, I finally made the plunge. You remember what I was saying about Flickr on the last photowalk in Hollywood. Well, I finally decided to make an account. I’m adding you right now.

@Jeremy, I agree, I have grown a lot just choosing to be disciplined with my photography. Taking my camera with me everywhere, shooting more each month and week than the one prior, and setting goals like these challenges has really helped.
@Nathaniel, Welcome to Flickr. I think you’ll enjoy the community, I know I have. I’m also very excited about this challenge. I’m looking forward to your photos as the month progresses.

I’ll have to give this some thought. My biggest difficulty is remembering to take some time and photo a theme. It’s a great exercise to expand your thought process in taking photos though. Here’s to putting the reminder in something other than my head to participate!
