A Day in the Life of the World

Hi!

I just want to see if everyone is still up to trying this. March 29, 9 AM to 11 AM EDT all over the world.

Yep, I'm still in

ToddB · Mar 16, 2008

I'm in.

I'll be participating in the National Kidney Foundation Walk 2008 during that time. Should make for some interesting pictures.

Oddly enough, I might be in a small airplane flying between two islands in the Galapagos at that time. Weird timing

What do you think about doing 10-12 AM Eastern? That's 7-9 West Coast, so people will have started getting up. It will be 11ish in Australia and midnight in Japan, but since it's a Saturday night people will be up late.

I agree, 10-12 a.m. EST seems like it would be more reasonable for multiple time zones which might mean more people can participate.

This is a great idea!

Make it 10-12 then. Reasonable? The person who wanted the sunrise shot can still do his 10 EDT sunrise shot.

Me too, I'm in

Sim · Mar 16, 2008

I'm in.

I am still in as well....

Count me in.
If it's at 10pm-12am then I will
probably go for a night street shot.

Use a polarizer. The stress in the glass will cause some neat patterns.

Hi! I remember reading a book called a Day in the Life of the America a few years ago and thought it was pretty cool. This is an international photography forum, so why don't we try that again, this time worldwide?

We take a one- or two-hour period and have all the contributors take photographs in that period. We time the period so that 2 AM or somewhere like that is over the Pacific so we don't miss that much.

Has this ever been done before?

I propose exactly one month from now: 3/29, 8:00 AM to 10:00 Eastern. That's a Saturday, so people have some free time, and I'm going to be in the Galapagos

I'm a latecomer to this thread but, if it's "a day" in the life of the world, why limit photographers to a 2-hour time period? Make it March 29, midnight-to-midnight, local time for everybody.
