    Are we going to be seeing another one of these soon? Who looks after it again?

    righto, i hear ya. I stopped doing them after xmas as there was a serious lack of attendance...but since the numbers of nutters on here has grown then I agree now might be a prime time to get another going.
    I have a couple of ideas that could be put to use...

    the point of it being a challenge is for people to have a stab at capturing something in the time slot, rather than dig something up taken years ago...i've got mountains of stuff I could wade through - that would be a challenge in itself! - no, the emphasis is on what can be done in the given time; hence challenge

    Totally agree on the challenge side of things. What did we get last time was it one or two weeks?

    As far as I can remember it varied, sometimes one, sometimes two, sometimes in between.

    I think perhaps from a Friday night to the Sunday a week and a bit later later - gives people two weekends in case one is not possible; during the week is obviously not when loads of photos will be taken.

    Decay.
    Moving liquid (river/waterfall/arty stop motion pics of pouring wine/whatever).
    Blot on the landscape.
    Nightclub (possibly a bad idea, may restrict those with less capable kit (including me until I get a 50mm 1.8 )).
    British Rail (train spotter heaven but could be a station or anything directly related to the railways).
    Papparazo for a day: photograph the most famous person you can find (would possibly need a long time limit on this one).

    Hope you like some of these
