New photography projects

There are three new photography projects kicking off on PODcast from May. They’re just for fun but and will hopefully allow all us budding photographers the chance to explore our creativity.

The What’s The Story? Linky is all about sharing the story behind a photograph. These new projects focus on developing particular skill sets as well as looking at photography in different ways and learning new techniques from inspirational photographers.

The Alphabet Photography Project 

The #alphabetphoto project will be every Wednesday from 14th May, kicking off with “A is for…” and working through the entire alphabet. The theme can be interpreted in a different way each week.

It might be an image of an object (ie; M is for mango), an object that resembles a letter (ie; a car wheel might be O), an adjective to describe a scene (ie; Q is for quiet) or a letter created from props.

“E is for…” might be a photograph of the London Eye

or “T is for…” might be tunnel. This one just happened to have POD racing through it!

The Macro Photography Project 

The #macrophoto project will be live every Saturday from June. Macro photography fascinates me so I’m looking forward to experimenting with close-ups, seeking inspiration from the more experienced and sharing what works.

The B&W Photography Project 

Tuesday will be the #bwphotoproject which is all about experimenting and improving black & white photography. The emphasis will be on discovering what images work well in black & white and how to achieve the best results.

Photographs with varying contrasts and textures will no doubt feature – as will images of POD! The B&W photography project kicks off in June.

Want to join in?

The macro, B&W and alphabet photography projects are all designed to help us improve our skills as a collective. The posts can be set up with Linkies if enough people are interested in getting involved. Please let me know in the comments.

    I’d love to get involved in these when I get more time (still have work to do in the new house and garden but hoefully it won’t be for too much longer!). Macro is my favourite but I need to get a new camera because I just can’t seem to get good macro shots on my iPhone.

  • Kate Williams April 16, 2014 at 10:11 pm

    Crikey you’re going to be one busy lady! I love the idea if these but I’m a bit nervous of photography posts as I’m very much at the learning end of the curve 😉 any chance of doing the alphabet one through Instagram too then I’d be slightly less scared to join in??

  • Kirsty Hijacked By Twins April 16, 2014 at 10:55 pm

    These sound like great ideas. I’d love to take part in the B&W group and alphabet photography. I’ll look forward to hearing more. As always, beautiful photographs, I love the black and white one of POD eating x

  • Hellie's Corner April 16, 2014 at 10:57 pm

  • Sara (@mumturnedmom) April 17, 2014 at 3:25 am

    Love the sound of these, I’m a big fan of b&w (you might have noticed!) so I would love that one, and the a-z one sounds fun too… Not skilled enough yet for the macro, but it’s something I’m keen to learn about 🙂

  • The Reading Residence April 17, 2014 at 7:47 am

    These projects sounds brilliant, Charly. I doubt I can commit to blogging them and linking up, but I’ll certainly be dropping by to learn more. I love macro photography, too, and love the effects of B&W photography, but struggle to spot when a shot would best be like this, so will be reading for a better understanding. Thank you x

  • Mammasaurus April 17, 2014 at 7:51 am

    Love these idea – black and white especially – count me in!!!

  • Kizzy April 17, 2014 at 7:54 am

    Will be here apart from Macro as I don’t have a lense 🙁

  • brinabird and son April 17, 2014 at 1:34 pm

    I love this! So want to improve my photography this year so these little projects are excellent. I will definitely be interested in the alphabet one to get my creative juices flowing. I love macro photography and a lens is on my list of big wants but I don’t know when that will ever be achieved 🙁

  • suzanne3childrenandit April 17, 2014 at 4:06 pm

    Goodness me you’re going to be a busy lady! I am loving the idea of the alphabet photo project cos that seems like the one that even amateurs can join in with 😉 Sounds fab. Very innovative. Good luck x

  • Carolynne @ Mummy Endeavours April 18, 2014 at 11:43 am

    Ooh this all sounds brill, although I’m crap at taking photo’s but really becoming interested in improving my (non existent) skills! I’m thinking about investing in a good DSLR but a bit nervous and think I’ll just end up just using the automatic feature lol x

  • Kate Thompson April 18, 2014 at 4:35 pm

    Popping back from #PoCoLo to say I have had fun today experimenting with B&W photography. Thanks for the inspiration!

  • Super Busy Mum {Debs} April 18, 2014 at 8:32 pm

    These all sound ace to be joining in with. As much as I’d love to join in on the macro, I don’t have a macro lens, but do have my eye on a wee prime lens for my birthday. The B&W is also my fav linky idea! MASSIVE monochrome fan! I will certainly look forward to these when they kick off #PoCoLo

  • Jenny April 18, 2014 at 9:29 pm

    I like the idea of the alphabet project, sounds fun 🙂

  • Kelly Brett April 19, 2014 at 4:26 pm
