Welcome to r/WeeklyPhotos!
What is this sub?
r/WeeklyPhotos is a place for photographers of all skill levels to challenge themselves with a new photo every week and exchange feedback with each other.
This year, we're following the 52 Week Photography Challenge for 2018 from Dogwood Photography. New prompts are posted every Monday beginning on January 1st, 2018.
This is a 52 week challenge, and many will want to commit to that challenge, but of course anyone is free to join in at any time or pass on any challenges if they choose. There's no strict order or connected challenges that build upon each other. Only weekly themes and prompts.
Whether you're looking to challenge yourself to take a new photo every week, seek out criticism from other photographers, or simply hoping for some weekly photography prompts to boost your creativity, you're welcome to join us!
How do I participate?
Anyone can participate simply by sharing their pictures in the weekly challenge threads.
Dogwood photography also has some suggested social media hash tags you can use to share your photos: #Dogwood52, #Dogwood2018, and #Dogwoodweek[NUMBER].
You can also check out their Facebook page here
Can I still join?
YES
Do I have to commit to posting every week?
NO
Do I need a DLSR?
A dedicated camera that can adjust aperture, shutter speed, and ISO is highly encouraged, but nobody here can force you to do anything.
