30 day photo challenge, one prompt a day, post your shot below

[MondayMoan]

Running a proper thirty day photo challenge on this board starting this week. One simple prompt each day, everyone posts whatever they actually shoot in response, phone camera is completely fine, this is not about expensive gear.

The rules are genuinely simple, a fresh daily prompt gets posted each morning right here in this thread. You have until the next prompt drops to post your own shot responding to it, and there is no penalty at all for missing a day here and there, just jump back in whenever you can.

Day one's prompt is reflections, anything at all where light bounces off a surface in an interesting way. Water, glass, a mirror, a phone screen, genuinely anything counts as long as it fits the loose theme.

Feel free to comment on other people's shots too. This works best as an actual back and forth rather than everyone just posting into the void and moving on, so give feedback and ask questions about how someone got a particular shot.

At the end of the thirty days I'll pull together a highlight post featuring a few favorites from across the whole month. So keep shooting even on days the prompt feels tricky, some of the best shots tend to come from the prompts that force you outside your usual comfort zone

Quick question, do older archive photos count if they happen to fit a prompt. Or does everything need to be shot fresh specifically for the challenge itself?

[Rustic Stuart]

Will this run monthly going forward or is this purely a one time thirty day thing to see how it goes first?

Held up well

Count me in, been meaning to actually shoot more consistently instead of just when inspiration randomly strikes. Good point either way

[Yasmin56]

Reflections is such a good opening prompt .

Forces you to actually slow down and look for something most people just walk straight past every single day

[DodgyDepot]

The highlight post at the end is a nice touch. Gives everyone something to actually look forward to beyond just the daily posting itself

Already thinking about tomorrow's shot before today's prompt even ends.

This is exactly the kind of thing that gets you looking at the world differently

[CR739]

Missing days without penalty is the right call.

This kind of thing always falls apart the moment it starts feeling like an obligation rather than something fun to do

[Daresh84]

Wanted excuse to actually use my proper camera again instead of just defaulting to my phone every single time. This is perfect timing

[Wendy_80]

Just posted my day one shot now. A puddle outside my building caught the streetlight in a way I never would have noticed before this thread existed

[Kieron]

Watching this one closely, even if I don't post every single day.

Curious to see how differently everyone interprets the exact same prompt each time
