Decision Time

I started this blog (A Photographic Challenge) hoping to be able to have many people take part in the monthly photography challenge. It has been 9 months now and I have 13 different photographers who have agreed to participate in the challenge each month. So far, I have had only 2 photographers take part in the challenge on a regular basis (I have to admit that even I don't take part every month). I am a little disappointed that the challenge is not doing better and I need to make a decision regarding the future of the challenge. I would like to hear from the followers and participants of this blog as to why you think I should continue the challenge. So, if you have any interest in the challenge please respond to this message. I would like to have more participants each month to make the challenge seem worthwhile and credible.

Sincerely,

Photoman

I must admit I to am a little bit disappointed in the lack of participation. I enjoy and like it because it keeps me focused and I learn so much from the challenges. I have learned a lot of new skills. I hope we can keep it going.

I agree with Earl, it is disappointing. I think there was more participation when we had judges. I also have learned a great deal about my camera, and has forced me to think "outside the box" with photography.Would there be any way to have judges again?

August winner?

Well it looks like I am not going to be able to call a winner for August until some of you vote. I voted and Joe voted but I think that is it so far. There is no way to declare a winner as so far there are no images with more than 1 vote each. Therefor I am going to go ahead and decide a topic for this months theme. The winner will get to choose the next months competition. So if you have not voted get to it you slackers you. Sorry I guess I am a slacker as well, I did vote but I didn't make the time to go out and shoot in August so I am a slacker also. I Hope to not be a slacker in the coming months. O.K. the theme for the month of September is Music. Let your imagination bring music to your eyes and capture it with your camera. Wow that was hokey but I don't care.

Since we didn't have a lot of entries for last months artistic challenge I am going to once again post a 2nd challenge. I am going to do a different theme for the artistic challenge this month. September's artistic challenge theme is Self Portrait. So get out there and get a shot of yourself fix it up in Photoshop or whatever program you like and submit it to the challenge.

Remember above all else just have fun while learning about photography, that is the reason I started this challenge.
