Deep in the bowels of one of my computers is a list that has some blanks and those blank weeks are looking for ideas. I realize the dates are off in the future but it's time to put on the thinking caps.
This has been a good year with some great original ideas
Some of the themes have kept me hopping. And I think many of the themes have provided a real challenge for us.
The weeks that are looking for a theme include the following:
Carol how about long exposure shots ( over 5 secs).
Feet--Shots that FEET are the primary subject.
Movement ---(But not water).
Thats what I have for now
Thanks AVI
and its about time we had some more since it started with NPN. So I say the more butts the better. And we need permission to use them. Thats part of the theme as well Full credits of course.
Ah, Danny, you do love to stir the pot, don't you?
I have one major question: If we were able to capture able to capture an outrageous rear view such as this image by Lia, exactly from whom do we have to have permission? The Coast Guard? The Game Warden?
OK, Pat, how does the following sound?
11/02/08 - 11/08/08
Geological Formations: Hoodoos, Strata, Crystals, Patterns on the earth surface, Boulders, Water polioshed rocks, Lava. Describe what we are seeing.
Pat Sampson
Buck, How does this sound?
11/16/08 - 11/22/08
Group Shots: Examples: A Covey of Quail, a Flock of Sheep, Alpaca, Birds, A Herd of Elk, a Swarm of Mosquitoes--anyhting that congregates in a group …

How does this sound. For the moment, it's just one of your ideas. More to come ...
11/30/08 - 12/06/08
Shots at dawn or dusk or possibly weather shots that require long exposures--a second or longer. Please be sure to include your shooting data.

Actually, Benjamin, Lia posted that idea only ahead of you by a bit and I've already added it to the spreadsheet. Even though Jim has not already approved all of the ideas on the spreadsheet, I should probably put it out on my web site so folks can look at it.
Folks, It's not fancy. Some of the ideas on this list have been submitted to Jim but since they have not been approved and added to the official Weekly Themes list, nothing is cast in stone.
This is a copy of my tentative working list. Feel free to peruse it for additional ideas.

How about something geological - strata, crystals, patterns, boulders, water polished rocks in stream beds, lava, etc. ...
