Summer Photo Scavenger Hunt
I’ve seen this last year on a couple of blogs I’m following, and this year I got a wee reminder by reading Alison’s blog that Rinda is doing her Summer Photo Scavenger Hunt.
Reading through the list I think I should be able to get through most of them! :)
Below is the post from Rinda, maybe some of you readers (if anyone is still reading, I’ve not been the best blogger over the last 12 months! ;) ) want to join in (and give me the odd nudge to remember to take the photos!!) ??
Summer's here, and it's time to announce the list of items for the Second Annual Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt! Today is the first day of summer, and you have until the last day of summer (September 21) to find and photograph each of the following 21 items:
1. A pier
2. A clothesline
3. A border
4. A roadside stand selling something
5. A train
6. A historical landmark
7. A person playing a musical instrument
8. A person dressed as an angel or a statue of an angel
9. A fountain
10. A horse
11. A shadow
12. A maze, labyrinth, or trail.
13. A library
14. A person playing with a ball.
15. Someone dancing.
16. A bride.
17. A church, chapel, cathedral, mosque or temple.
18. A movie poster
19. An outdoor stairway
20. A swing hanging from a tree (or a hammock)
21. A picture of you standing with something that symbolizes your nation.
Substitute Item (new this year): If you find any of the above too hard, you may substitute a photograph of either a heart-shaped stone or a four leaf clover for one item; however, you may not substitute this item for #21.
Participants are encouraged to periodically post their finds on their blog, but you don't need a blog to participate. On September 21, I will survey the participants and choose a winner, based on the number of items found. If more than one person finds all the items, a random draw will determine the winner. I will also draw a random winner from all the participants. Winners will receive a photography-related prize (either a photography book or entrance into an online photography class).
Let me know in the comments if you plan to participate or if you have any questions! Remember the idea is not to search your photo files and find these items, but rather to take the photos between now and the end of summer. Also, let me know if there's something that's impossible for you (do people not hang clothes in the winter in the southern hemisphere, for instance), and I'll see what I can do to accommodate you. It's all about having fun and enjoying the hunt.
