  Jim sent us an email earlier this week to encourage us to take photos around our home or while taking a walk and submit your favorite today for discussion. Here's the email:

Okay, have fun photographing in your home, backyard, or neighborhood today. Shoot a lot and select your 1 favorite result. Here's a reminder of our fun, free photo assignment...

Mini-Assignment:
Today, let's all go around our house, to our yards, or on a walk, camera in hand, and submit one photo.

When you're done, first log in and upload your favorite results.

Then, share your absolutely favorite photo with our BetterPhoto community by going to My Profile > My Photos > Manage/Upload.

Under the "Enter Contest" button, you will see a "Share in Mini-Assignment" link. Select your favorite uploaded photo and share it today.

Remember, if you can go for a walk, awesome. If you can get out into the yard, you can focus on budding flowers perhaps, or some critter that captures your attention.

If for any reason, you can't get out, take a little walk around the house and look with "new eyes" as they say. Find one or two things that interest you and see if you can photograph it in a variety of ways. Make perhaps 20 photos from different angles, or using different lenses or focal lengths.

If you absolutely cannot photograph today, it's okay to enter one photo from this past week.

Pick your best photo, and upload it with "Mini-Assignment" in the title or description.

Then we will have fun discussing your favorite results.

  I didn't see the email until around 2 am this morning...so decided it sounded like fun and I would do an image when I got up.
I set everything up, took my photos and edited the one I liked best. Went to upload it and clicked to enter it into the Mini Assignment. After I uploaded it I clicked on the button that said if I wanted to see it to click here...the page it took me to had all kinds of images, but none looked like they fit this mini assignment category. The couple I did click on didn't say Mini assignment on them anywhere...?
So...what's up Jim? I love this idea, especially because we are all stuck in the house...I have tons of stuff to photograph.
Hope this all gets worked out to we can have fun with it!

  Hi Jill,

Yes, a few members did not understand that we are looking for recent photos of home, yard or neighborhood.

No worries. It's still the right place. We will focus on those that did the mini-assignment.

Stay safe, make the most of sheltering in home.

All my best,
Jim

  Thank you and all participants for the opportunity to sit in on this session. I am sorry for having to step out for a moment but one of my family is in the health care industry and I needed to take a call. It was very interesting to hear comments about what people thought made photos good. It was a great learning experience. Again, thank you.
