Well as we approach the end of the year the bag is starting to run dry so I though I'd start a thread to get some input for some new themes for the bag.

1 - Mono
2 - Music
3 - Confusion
4 - Night
5 - Fun
6 - Inspiration
7 - Special
8 - Opposites
9 - Duo
10 - Identity
11 - Passion
12 - Water
13 - Friendship
14 - Exposed
15 - Bubbles
16 - Low Down
17 - Complex
18 - Crowded
19 - Simple
20 - Highlight
21 - Colour
22 - Surprise
23 - Reflection
24 - History

26 - Wisdom
27 - Relationships
28 - Poverty

Non 'S' theme suggestions :D
Broken

... from the top of my head. Feel free to use/discuss/disregard as required :lol:
 
Oh, a few suggestions I'd like to make seeing as I'm going to attempt this on film next year. They are "Film" related (or what ever interpretations people come up with). Again feel free to use/discuss/disregard :lol:

- Film
- Development
- Print
 
Are you putting this year's back in? I'd rather we started with a totally fresh set.....but I will happily bow to the consensus view :)

Meanwhile...

Authority
Wrong

Cold
Divided
Decoration
Patterns
Handmade

How about we leave in the easy ones from last year? :lol:

(p.s. I vote for a fresh new set too)
 
Thank you Simon for sorting this out for us again :thumbs:

TBH I really don't mind whether we re-use some of last year's or not. It would be nice to have something new, but I've learnt so much since I started this that I'd probably look at all of them with a new pair of eyes a second time round.

(p.s. I am grateful that grunge hasn't reappeared. Said very quietly in case you change your mind)

In no particular order, some suggestions for next year :

  1. Beginnings
  2. Endings
  3. Distortion
  4. Contrasts
  5. Delicate
  6. Metal
  7. Wood
  8. Glass
  9. Surreal
  10. Romantic
  11. Transformation
  12. Fear
  13. Joy
  14. Straight
  15. Twisted
  16. Warm
  17. Cold
  18. Shiny
  19. Soft
  20. Inside Out / Upside Down
  21. Close Up
  22. Distant
  23. Open
  24. Closed

Hmm, I did warn everyone ;)

:razz: No . . . you said that you wouldn't accept requests to remove themes. Since you'd already removed grunge, surely that doesn't count ;)
Besides, if you're joining us next year I don't think you want that one in either :lol: :lol: :lol:

:thumbs: Looking forward to your thread!
 
I'm not gonna dare suggest anything, cos I know when WHATEVER theme comes around, it's gonna be pretty awful :lol:

And yes, even though I'm hating this last few weeks of this year, I am planning on carrying on. And my aim is....Animals only....That won't last :p

Me on Film. You on cameras. I can see it now. A helluva lot of "pass the crowbar" next year :lol:
 
A couple...

Starlight
In Flight
Pan
On High
Sweet
Sour


I'd like to vote for a completely new set also... include those not pulled out, but just not the ones we have done. There are some in there I liked and some I didn't from last year but no bias either way.
 
Me too. I'm biting the bullet and going to have a go at this 52 lark if you will have me.

I may come up with some themes too. Will sleep on it.


Err I just looked at some of the themes and it looks hard.. Is it too late to pull out :lol:

No chance... you are officially in and will have to suffer with the rest of us :p
 
OK I hear you all about the new themes so as far as possible I'll stuff the bag with new themes. However, I'd like to make sure that at the start of the year there are at least 75 themes in the bag so unless we get a large number of suggestions I may have to put a few ones from last year back in (e.g. Grunge ;))
 
I just put a few together maybe I have no idea what i'm doing here though

Hold
Clutter
Secret
Pride
Dirty
Weird
Chilled
Chopped
Quiet
Light
Dark
Indulgence
Rapid
Winner
Stare
Drip
Sigh
Bokeh
Song Titles
Red Dress
Jukebox

Ok i'm getting silly now :lol:
 
I may well join you all this next year. I need something to keep me going while I can't get out and about much. Prepare for a front loading of hospital visits!

Managed to shoot something today for the first time in over a month. I don't care that it's rubbish, I just needed to shoot something! Doing a 52 may well help me think a bit more about what I want to shoot as well

Anyway, a few suggestions:

Noise
Peace
New
Electric
Feathered
Foreign
Communication
Money
Knowledge

So do I. I almost fainted when I typed that. Especially cos I know just how much I been struggling last few weeks. Bloody hell.





[and yet a part of me still wants to try it...Maybe I try an unofficial 365...?]

:thumbs: I really like the poem idea.

I keep meaning to contribute to John's words and photos thread and if it came up in a 52 it would force me to actually make my intentions a reality :)

what words and photos thread? Have I missed out on a hidden gem here? :)

Too slow! Just went and dug out the link, but was beaten to it.
It's definitely a hidden gem. Well worth a look :thumbs:
