Following a suggestion in The
Lounge,
we decided to try our own little version of a Radio 4 PM programme photography project. The idea was to
get as many of us as possible to take a picture on a given
day, and then post them on the AP
Forum. It would run monthly,
and if it proved popular we would build up an interesting
(hopefully!) photographic log of the daily activities of
forum members. Our version was to be called FirstView,
and would run throughout 2007.
The first day of each month would be designated as as FirstView day. The idea
was that on the day we would each produce a picture that captures some part of
our day - it could be some activity, or a place we went to, or something that
was happening around us, or just about anything that says something about our
day. We didn't need a title, but we'd provide the basic details of our
pictures - time, place, activity, etc.
Participation
is entirely voluntary, and the usual forum rules apply
for posted pictures - up to 600 pixels on the longest
edge with a max file size of 100KB - images can be hosted
FREE using the FV Gallery.
We rely on your honesty about when the pictures were taken,
but images not taken on the designated day would obviously
somewhat invalidate the project, so please don't 'cheat'!
And if you can't participate on any particular occasion,
don't let that worry you. This isn't meant to be a tightly
controlled scientific experiment - just a bit of fun, which
might also prove to be interesting.
As with the Monthly
Competition, there will be a special thread for posting FirstView pictures,
and another one for any comments you want to make. The image posting thread
will be closed for new submissions a couple of days after the event, so please
be prompt about posting your contribution. If people are going to be away on
holiday, or are otherwise unable to upload images within that time, then we
can temporarily re-open the thread by arrangement.
