November has arrived already.
“For the young the days go fast and the years go slow; for the old the days go slow and the years go fast.” Anna Quindlen
I know this to be true as I get older…. It seems like the years just scream by.
Let’s slow down for a second. November is a month to be thankful and grateful. As we approach our photography prompts this month, try to be intentional about what matters. Approach each day with a heart of gratitude.
The 365 Picture Today Creative Team is thankful for you. We are thankful that this community gives so much. We encourage each other with our photography, we follow along as children and grandchildren are born, we grieve with each other during sickness and loss. It is just amazing that an on-line community can be so rich and deep and meaningful…. Even beyond our love of photography. We are in many different phases of life, different backgrounds, different cultures…. And we are one amazing community.
We have grown so much together. Some have come and some have gone. Some of you have been here since our predecessor group. Some transitioned with four of us who decided to keep this thing going somehow. You supported us through all of the growing pains. Whether you have been here a decade, year or month, you are so appreciated.
Happy November. Thank you for being you!
Explaining the Prompts
This year we are pleased to announce a whole new look to 365 Picture Today. We asked! You answered! Instead of weekly themes, we will be featuring specific days with specific tasks.
Where I Stand
This prompt will occur on the last day of every month! You get to be as creative as you like, but the challenge is to include your feet in the photograph. It will be fun to see the different environments our photography journey takes us to.
Colour Day
Colour day is back by popular demand! Instead of a full week of colour we are introducing "colour day". It will be occurring once a month with a beautiful colour chosen by your creative team. It is completely up to you to include either a little or a lot of the specified colour.
Macro Monday
On Macro Monday we focus on the little details! On the 2nd Monday of every month we are asking you to use your macro skills to enhance the prompt of the day. We encourage you to get in close! You can use your macro lens, macro filters or simply crop your photos.
Challenge Day
This is an exciting, new and super fun challenge for 2024! On this day we will be offering you a photography challenge and ask you to recreate it!
Technical Day
This one is for the inner techies in all of us! On Technical Day we will be giving out instructions on specific photography technical skills. There will be a variety of skills explained to help you learn or enhance your abilities. We can all learn from one another.
Picture Me
It's selfie day! Once a month we will be asking you to include a picture of yourself in the daily prompt. This gives us a chance to let our community member know what we look like!
Scavenger Hunt
The scavenger hunt is a quarterly challenge. We will give you some specific words to use to go camera hunting with. This is a fun challenge that also includes your chance to make a collage.
My World
On the 5th day of every month you will take a picture in the same place. This will show the changing seasons, or just the subtle changes of the that environment. If you cannot be in the same place every month, just take a picture of where you are and what your world looks like on that day.
Guest Prompt
Once a month we honour a member of our community with a Community Profile and the chance to write a prompt with an accompanying photograph! It is a special day for community members and a chance for all of us to get to know one another just a little bit better.
