To those of you who have done '52's before, does it normally die off in December?
Click to expand...

Usually and for the previous two years ive been in, there's around 100 start and this very quickly drops to around 30, and this slowly dwindles to around 15.

It's a real shame because some of those that drop out have produced some cracking photographs.

Anyways...let's have a seasonal week 50 :)
 
My wild reshoot shot got Explored! - Chuffed to bits - That's twice now (both have been part of my '52).

On the subject of drop outs; It's not just TP... I have to say I avoid the pool in January because it is always packed with people [who have the best intentions], by Valentines it's calmed down quite a lot and by March it's back to normal, Same thing happens with my cycling club rides and my Running group too.

I will not be committing to a '52 myself next year due to the amount of other things I have on my plate, but I am thinking that I will start a thread and just do the weeks I have time for, or maybe just keep an eye on the submissions thread and comment occasionally. It would be nice to keep in contact with those of you I've come to "know". I will still be around on TP of course [I'm thinking of doing the etc]
 
Well done on the Explore Brian :thumbs:

Normally goes a bit quiet this time of year....wonder why ;)

Anyhoo.....got my props for fantasy just not entirely sure when I'll get to shoot it.....works christmas do tonight so tomorrow may well be spent recovering :D Apologies in advance if I make any in-coherent comments on posts at silly o'clock in the morning....I generally can't go to sleep when I've had a few :beer:

Brian, What do you mean Explored? Apologies for the dumb question

"Explore" is Flickr's showcase. From the (approx) 8.6 million photos uploaded every day, Flickr chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!

Sorry, Fantasy just isn't doing it for me.
Lots of PP and made up images doesn't float my boat.

Therefore, i'm out.

Joker please.

Cheers

Doesn't have to be the fantasy genre, fantasy can be anything you fantasize about... I could get banned if I'm not careful LOL.
 
Well I've just had a stock check, only eight shots to catch up on :eek: best I get a wiggle on!

Well done Brian on your explore, I just had to take a peak. Great shot, it's only had about 8,000 views!!!!

So of my eight shots needing doing two are repeats of last year. Colour (I think I said that on the thread for themes as I loved it last year) and art. Both with so much potential. Fantasy however reminds me of magical from last year.

Thinking cap on. I'm going to try and catch up before the year is out!

Good luck to everyone else still plodding along.
 
Hi All
Determined to complete this 52 :confused:
Enjoyed taking part and if nothing else got me taking more photos.hopefully I've learnt something along the way though i have to admit to feeling overwhelmed at times. Not sure about next year yet but this new theme every week is strangely addictive :bonk:
Part of me would like to spend more time on learning a particular aspect of photography rather than feeling like i have to squeeze it into a week. It could be that I just need to organise myself better.:bang:
Just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has taken the time to comment on my efforts :ty:
I know that I have been lapse in commenting on other peoples photos and promise that should I take part next year I will make a better effort as I know how helpful it has been to me.
Would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone merry Christmas and happy new year :beer:

Nutter. I'm undecided. My enthusiasm of late has been much diminished.....but I might give a 4th year a go :gag:

Something tells me you will be in it Andy ;)

Got 3 weeks posted, so 7 to do and that is including 51 and 52, 8 if I do a reshoot!

As for the 4th year, I reckon I am as good as in, but will see though.
I am hoping inspiration and enthusiasm will be all wrapped up for me to take back on christmas day :help:

A plea to all...if Sarah asks for themes for next year's 52......keep it simple :suspect:

I'm laughing to myself that you actually said that.........:lol:

I was wondering if the following may work...........

Instead of or maybe as well as Jokers , the people who are taking part in the challenge could have their names in the hat & if they get drawn that person has to name the theme for that week ? I guess it could be difficult given the number of drop outs , maybe limit it to to those that have done the challenge for a year or more ? You get the gist anyway...thoughts anyone ?
 
(to the tune of "we're in the money") New theme tomorrow, new theme tomorrow, (the music in my head stops) I can't think of any more words. :(

New theme tomorrow everyone :)
 
No run for me this morning, so for once I'm here for the "announcement". Lets hope it's a good one, without any tears...
 
Yes. typical!

I have bronchitis so not very fit right now, sitting here with my head over a bowl of menthol crystals in hot water! :(
 
A bit of a newby round here ... And just been reading the thread elsewhere about losing your mojo. As one who has also lost it a bit recently I'd like to take up a new challenge, so,is there a 2014 52 week challenge in the offing? If so, can I assume the process will be the same as this year? When will we know the themes or are they also a repeat of last year? Not sure I'll hit every week, but at least I will have a goal to research and try for. Many thanks. Look forward to joining in.

Indeed there will be a 52 thread for 2014, it will at the top of this forum as a sticky soon, usually the 1st theme is announced before the new year so we all know what we have to start on with, then each saturday morning the thread will be updated with the weeks new theme. Create your thread in the 52 week sub forum and post the pictures in your thread. We currently have a thread for peoples submissions only so it makes it easier to keep up with where your comments are at.

It is a great project, get's the mind going! You will see a lot drop out, but be one of the select few to see it through to the end! I will be doing it the 4th time in a row next year.
 
yay !!!!!

My work for the year is now finished... so mega catch up required

Plan to get the spreadsheet up to date tomorrow, and catch up on threads (again :lol)

looks like things have been going slowin here last couple of week, lots of people busy

I'll start next years spreadsheet too :geek:
