Birthday Scavenger Hunt - 05-17-2011, 09:50 AM


So, all the previous scavenger hunts have predated me, but they sound like a lot of fun. So, in honor of my upcoming birthday, I'm starting a scavenger hunt.

Start: Today
End: May 26th (my birthday)
Posting deadline: June 3rd

The list (things I love or love to photograph in no particular order):
1. Red
2. Bells
3. Shoes
4. Beer
5. Driving
6. Music
7. Science
8. Food
9. Spiders
10. Plants
11. Laughter
12. Grass
13. Reflection
14. Water
15. Flowers
16. Fire hydrant
17. Cats
18. Cracks
19. Texture
20. People watching

Hopefully these get resurrected!

Looks like posting deadline s May 31st, so you have a little more then 3 days left. More like a week and a day, but the site will be down two of those days.

I read the rules on scavenger hunts and from what I read all the pictures you post must be all in one post and no bigger then 450 x 450 pixels.

Is this right?

I actually have no idea since I haven't done one before. I've looked back at previous posts, and some people have not held true to the single post thing. However, the size is probably just to keep the thread from getting huge. (Of course that's assuming that more than just one or two people participate.)

To prevent confusion, lets say one post per entry/person.

Today is the last day for shooting. I still have a ton left to capture, but I'll probably be working 12 hours today. Oh well, I don't think I can win my own scavenger hunt anyways

Don't forget that the site will be down this weekend for the transition to Pixtus.com, so plan uploads accordingly!

Ok, I'm going to extend the time limit for this since the transition to Pixtus took a little longer than expected. So, people have until Friday, June 3rd at midnight to post entries (although they still needed to have been taken before May 26th at midnight).

Unfortunately I had a lot of unexpected work to do, and so I don't have anywhere near the complete list, but I can't win my own scavenger hunt

I also am posting slightly larger photos because I'm just being lazy and posting medium photos from flickr.

Red:

Beer (hey, I'd been drinking...)

Science:

Plants (really, all plants should be portable, especially when living in a trailer outside a rundown building downtown):

Water (at least I think there's water in there):

Flowers:

Seemed like there was a little bit of interest, but no participation. I can see why these died out...

Still going to do this.
