In this case, it is less about capturing artistic images, but just doing what you can to be inventive. Before you do this, pick a place that is likely to have a lot of variety of subjects (middle of town ro campus, your basement, whatever).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had this is mind as a short piece of fun since Alan posted this. I didn&#8217;t do much thinking about <em>pick a place that is likely to have a lot of variety of subjects<\/em> as my surroundings were quite monotonous(not in a bad way).<\/p>\n<p>When I was on a walk to Loch Humphrey and Duncolm yesterday I decided to try this out. I did think about which stretch of the walk would be good, but was stuck for some pictures, I didn&#8217;t see anyone else to get a picture of their feet or paws in that particular 20 minutes although it is a popular walk and I passed a dozen or so folk in the 3 or so hours I was walking. I failed to make a\u00a0supernatural photo too.<\/p>\n<p>The exercise was good fun and would be an interesting one to do with a class of pupils. I will be repeating it myself. Perhaps using different sets of photo ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Here is my set: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/troutcolor\/sets\/72157631651456421\/\">ds106photoblitz &#8211; a set on Flickr<\/a>, I didn&#8217;t pict the best 5, just piled them in.<\/p>\n<p>To embed them here I decided to use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.haikudeck.com\">Haiku Deck<\/a>\u00a0on my iPad. With the photos appeared in my photo stream as soon as I came home. I had hoped to search for and use the ones in flickr, but Haiku Deck didn&#8217;t find all of my pictures even after I gave them a unique tag. So I uploaded them from the iPad when I saved the Deck.<\/p>\n<h3>The PhotoBlitzer<\/h3>\n<p>When I read Alan&#8217;s post I copied the photo idea to my dropbox so I could find them\u00a0whenever I decided to give the challenge a go. This had me thinking a bit. I though I could make a webpage that would supply a random set of photo ideas. I took Alan&#8217;s list, mixed in some from\u00a0the, now discontinued, Daily Shoot site, and made a webpage that shows a random set of 7. <a href=\"http:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/tests\/photoblitzer\/\">photoblitzer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I spent a wee bit of time shorting the challenges so that 7 would fit on an iPhone screen (iPhone 4). The page also show the current time to act as a start clock picture which will give the list of challenges. It might even be useful.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/tests\/photoblitzer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-467\" title=\"photoblitzer\" src=\"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/106\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/photoblitzer.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/106\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/photoblitzer.png 427w, https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/106\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/photoblitzer-200x300.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 427px) 85vw, 427px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Update<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/tests\/photoblitzer\/\">photoblitzer<\/a> is now updated with &gt;160 photo tasks to draw from thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/cogdogblog.com\/\">Alan Levine<\/a> sending the whole of the DS106 Daily create photography section.
