Don’t Touch That DSLR – Inspiration Challenge #2

This post is stickied at the top of the blog for January. Scroll down for new posts!

We’ve certainly been hyping this challenge up enough, lol. It took us awhile to be able to get to this challenge – we wanted to do it justice and have people be able to participate. The month of January is typically slower for a photographer, so hopefully lots of people can participate in this one! We are still securing some awesome prizes for this contest – we are going to have a first, second and third place – each with a prize! So cool! But we aren’t going to tell you what they are going to be just yet. Let’s get to the challenge!

It’s up to you to make this challenge as complicated or as easy as you want. Use your iPhone, use an old Polaroid, use a Zumi, a Diana, an Instax. Use a point and shoot, use your kid’s Fisher Price digital camera. You just can’t use your regular DSLR (or SLR if you shoot film). Have fun, get creative and don’t get too serious. Don’t think about it too much, just have FUN! There are no rules except you must a different camera other than the one you normally shoot with.

We are giving you a whole month to complete this challenge. Why? Because cameras need to be found, film needs to be developed. You can enter at any time though, and we’re going to limit it to 3 entries per person and they must all be contained to the same blog post.

To enter – just post your image(s) on your blog and come here and link us in the comments section. We can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with! Winners will be revealed on February 12th!

January 7, 2010 - 10:38 am Shannon S - I love this it is a great way for me to learn how to use the camera on my phone!

January 8, 2010 - 6:43 am Addie - So is there a particular subject matter we are supposed to shoot or just take a picture?

January 8, 2010 - 7:39 am Penny Maggio - I'm completely loving this blog and the both of you. Let's see what I can come up with for this challenge. I just picked up a Polariod Land Camera I'd love to use...now if I can just find film. Or I can pull out my 1.3 megapixel digital (can you believe it....the very FIRST digital camera I ever owned) and play with some grain. Fun stuff.
