First and foremost, this is a long post. You have been warned.
I would like to use this section of the forum and create assignments that would give a good reason for everybody ( myself included) to practice specific techniques or way to shoot. This thread is to receive your opinion on the project and to know if :
1: People are interested to participate, both as critiques and participant, since I plan on putting a lot of time into working these assignments, I don't want to to theses for nothing.
2: If some member of the forum would like to dedicate a bit of their time to the project too. Mainly provide assignments ideas, critiques and guidelines to the participant.
3: After reading the project's line, if there's anything you'd like to add or redo.
You will want more detail on the project I have in head, so here it is :

You will want more detail on the project I have in head, so here it is :
Every fixed interval ( most likely a week), an assignment would be posted.
- The type of assignment can vary. It could go from shooting landscapes, shooting square, shooting a particular Focal length, to a particular subject or even to research how to and build a pinhole camera.
- Every member will be welcomed to participate, new to experienced. The point is not to win, but to practice and receive feedback.
- During the week, member who decided to participate would post their assignment picture in the thread. Forum member would then provide feedback on if the assignment was well executed, what could be redone, and general critique on the picture. A form would be provided to assure that critiques are as constructive as they could be.
- At the end of the week, a poll could or could not be created in a new thread with every entry of the week, and people would vote for their favourite, this is a totally optional part of the project.
- I will personally invest time to produce the assignment, rules and other details along the way
- If the project is well received and members show interest, a test run will be done Monday the 1st of June. This will allow me to test member's interest in the project and look at what work and doesn't work.
- After the test run, a new thread would be created, this thread would be to receive comments on if people would like more of it, what they would change, if they liked the experience and the project.
Any comment, feedback or idea is welcomed. I'd like to reach as many people as possible with this project, hopefully help some along the way. And most important, have fun doing it. I feel many forumer ( myself included ) would gain a lot from a weekly based assignment and it could be a good opportunity to explore new area.
Have a nice day!

Assignment: (blank)
Detailed explanation: (blank)
Duration : From Friday the 29th of May to Friday the 5th 23:59 of June
Overview of event:
The weekly assignment challenge has for objective to give you a task to perform for the duration of the week. The main goal is to offer practices guidelines to both novices and experts who wish to either try something new or to hone skills that are already acquired. Each Friday, a new assignment will be published, and the previous one will enter a voting state where member can vote on their favorites. Even though there is a competition aspect to it, the main purpose is to offer members the chance to restrict themselves to a very specific task and practice a certain skill.
Any member of the forum are welcomed to join at any time during the duration of the challenge, the only requirement is that you publish your picture here in this thread. Members, participants or not, are also encouraged to offer pointers, advices and ideas to the work they see, as the participants can decide to completely redo their assignment and post a new entry at any time as long as it does not pass the deadline.
As the forum’s theme subject, the challenges will be photography related, however, certain challenges can stray slightly from that theme and propose Post processing challenges, for example.
Key rules and guidelines:
-Respect for each other and yourself is not an option, any work of any kind submitted to the challenge that have excessive racist, politic, religious shaming, pornographic content or any other offensive subject will not be admitted in the contest and will be notified to the member staff. You are required to be polite at all time, as your entry to the challenge could be refused and your post notified to the staff.
-If the work you offer is NSFW, you are required to post it in a spoiler with obvious warning. The challenges will not deliberately ask for that type of work, but that type of entry is also accepted to a certain point. Common sense is asked.
-To participate, you are required to post a picture of the work that was asked. Only pictures that have been taken during the duration of the challenge will be accepted. As such, you may be required to provide the .exif file of the picture or other proof if need be.
-You can decide to send a new entry at all time during the challenge duration, although, only your latest submission will be taken for the voting thread.
-You can send any amount of new entry, there is no cap limit of any kind as long as you do not pass the deadline. Just don’t spam either.
-Members of the forum are welcomed to offer critiques and guideline on how the participant could improve their submission. Participants are also asked to critiques other’s entry and offer advice to their concurrent, any participant that blatantly does not offer or shame other’s work to give themselves an advantages in the voting thread will simply not be allowed to participate in the competition phase and may or may not be excluded from future challenges as well.
-Once the deadline is met, no other entry is allowed. Time is calculated with the GTM -5 Eastern Time, so plan accordingly. The challenge then enter it’s second phase. A new thread will be created with the final entry of each participant. Members can now vote for their favorites.
-The final and most important rule is to have fun.
