Photogamer Challenge 14 cheat sheet

There’s a great group on Flickr called Photogamer (website). Every week they post a challenge to complete, which is essentially a photography scavenger hunt. Typically there are 5 photos you have to take over the weekend that fall into some theme. Above is my cheat sheet for this week’s challenge.

The best thing about Photogamer is it’s a great creativity boost. The challenges are easy to complete and they make you have fun with your camera. There is no reward except recognition from other photographers (both professional and amateur). The process is a reward in itself.

I highly recommend Photogamer to anyone that owns a camera and has a Flickr account. But, as I was warned when I first joined, it is very addictive. ;)

    Thanks for the shout-out and sharing the photo I submitted for photogamer. Aside from me saying, “I second what you’ve said” or “ditto” … I’d only add that photogamer is a fantastic and addicting flickr group.

    It opens up your creative eye a little wider and on the weekends I now find myself carrying the camera everywhere I go looking for a creative way to express myself using the assignment as a catalyst.

    I’m hoping the community grows. Thanks for blogging it!
