2010 New Challenges, New Horizons

If you listened to the last SCL Podcast you'll know I talked about new challenges for 2010 over in the Flickr forum and photo pool. I've been thinking about a few personal projects and goals that I want to complete in 2010, but they'll probably be based around my "comfort zone" photography, so I want to keep sharp by challenging myself (and you) to keep trying new genres in the New Year.

Rather that doing the usual monthly themed assignment, I've made a list of different photographic genres that we could try this year, for those (many) times when we run out of ideas of what to shoot, when we could take a look at the list and try something new.

I've created a main post with links to all the genre threads, and if you come up with any suggestions for a type of photography we could try, just start a thread and I'll add it to the main post.

All the genre threads have a link to a flickr slideshow or other websites with images or techniques to wet your appetite, or if you're stuck for ideas. I'd especially recommend you check out Tom Low's time-lapse video's, they're mind-blowing.

Here's all the links to the different Flickr threads:
