Commemorating 10-10-10 … in 10 photos

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Challenge me, challenge you|Photography

Last year around this time I hosted an hourly photo challenge. I want to do it again, this time to commemorate the lucky-sounding 10-10-10. Who’s in?

Here’s the nitty gritty:

The date: Sunday October 10, 2010
The deal: Take one photo every hour, on the hour, for ten hours. The goal is to get ten photos.

I’m going to start at 8:00 a.m. and end at 6:00 p.m.

Use whatever camera or mobile device you prefer. Post them to your blog and/or your photosharing site as you are able. Just make sure you let us know where you’re posting them so we can all have a look. Tag them “10photos” so they’re easy to find. Twitter along with the #10photos too. (ETA: follow the twitter feed here.)

Would you like to make it extra challenging for yourself? DON’T DO RETAKES. (!) This is not mandatory but I thought I’d throw it out there in case you’re the kind of person who likes a challenge. :)

Here’s a tip if you have a mobile phone or alarm clock on your watch. Set it for one minute before the hour i.e. at 7:59, 8:59 etc. That will give you a solid minute to get your camera ready and snap The Thing You Happened To Be Looking At.

Please consider playing along! It’s really interesting to see what other people are seeing at the same time you are. (Um, that is, provided we’re in the same time zone, if not, that’s okay too.)

It’s not a problem if you aren’t can’t upload as you go. Upload in batches when you have the chance. ETA: Or even the next day. If you’re blogging your photo uploads I will later update the link below to your 10photos blog post.

Who’s in? I’ll keep the list of participants and their respective Flickrs/blogs/Twitter accounts updated here for reference.

Woot!

Ooo… this could be fun! We’re at church that morning and then at a wedding later in the day. I’m not sure if I can strategically do this, but it’s worth a shot!

Hi Andrea,

Since it was my first time doing this sort of thing, I thought I’d just use the same start and end times you suggested.

Imagine my surprise when I counted and realized I have eleven photos! Do you?

Otherwise, inquiring minds want to know how you managed to take photos from 8am to 6pm and still end up with only ten photos.

PS Should I remove my 6pm photo from the flickr set?

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
