Description:

This swap was inspired by the following blog, where over the course of a year, two photographers took a photograph each week on a given subject, and compared the results.

http://everydayvision.blogspot.com/

This will be a series of swaps. Each time, you should shoot a photograph with the given subject in mind & then either email it to your partner in jpeg format, or send a link to it on Flickr. The subjects will be ordinary every day objects that we should all have easy access to.

The best bit of this swap is seeing how we all interpreted the same subject differently, and therefore, rather than just compare your photograph to your partner's (hence, the two views) you should also CC me in your email (I'll send everyone my email address once the sign-up deadline has passed). Once I have received everyone's photo, I'll create a montage & upload it to the Sharp Shooters Flickr page. Whether there's 5 or 15 photographs, I think it'll make really interesting viewing! :-)

Remember, it's your interpretation of the subject, so there's no right or wrong way to photograph it! Perhaps have a look at google images or Flickr for inspiration.

This is a really simple swap, so I hope lots of you sign-up!

Thanks Tynkerbelle! :-) Yes, this time the theme is "paper" - lots of possibilities!

Here's a link to the results of the previous swap, which was "Cotton"

The pictures of the CAKE is what threw us off!!

Hey, how about a non email version?

I am in! :o)

Lou - I decided not to change the image to relate to the swap each time, so that the subject is left entirely up to the photographers interpretation! The first swap has proved that my idea of "cotton" was completely different to everyone elses!!

Perhaps I'll run a snail mail version in the future, but for now, the key element of this swap is seeing everyone's photos together, which wouldn't be possible in a snail mail version.
