Unlike most photography challenges which are just a simple list of ideas, this 52 week challenge is designed to push your photography to the next level. This list is going to be more challenging to complete than a simple 52 week photography challenge list. But stick with it to the end and I guarantee you will be a better photographer for it.
There is no specific start date for this challenge. Each photographer is on their own journey, and only competing with themselves from week to week. If you wish to form a challenge group and compete with each other based on this list you are welcome to do so! If you form a challenge group drop me an invite I would love to watch the progress. Weekly Challenge Categories:Each week, the weekly assignment will be in one of 3 categories:

I have just joined the 52 Week Photography Challenge which invited you to post a photograph a week based on the prompts provided. Week One is the Rule of Thirds. This photograph was taken in Boston. I found the article Check Your Composition with Lightroom helpful to learn how Lightroom easily allowed me to see gridlines. https://photographylife.com/check-your-composition-with-lightroom
I look forward to the journey and learning by studying the photographs of others. Cleaning up your mess in Lightroom 6 with Tim Grey 52:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daYUG8orcF81/22/2017 "Admit it: Your Lightroom catalog isn’t quite as organized as you’d like. In fact, you might even be a little embarrassed if another photographer were to see your Lightroom catalog. In this session, Tim Grey shows you how to resolve organizational challenges in Lightroom and how to optimize your workflow to ensure you can always find the photo you need when you need it. This presentation features Lightroom 6, but works with older versions of Lightroom as well."
I found this tutorial very helpful because I had taught myself Lightroom and had a very disorganized storage of my photographs. I recommend taking the course before you start Lightroom, and you will be organized right from the beginning and have a logical workflow that allows you easy to photographs and helps you rate them and label them. However, if like me, you have a mess, the tutorial will help you clean it up. Messy no more! "Want to learn photography from Harvard? (Yes, that Harvard.) It turns out you can easily do so, even without being a student. The oldest institution of higher learning in the United States offers a free 12-module online digital photography class.
The Digital Photography course has been available over at the free certified learning service ALISONsince 2013 as part of Harvard’s Open Learning Initiative. The 12 modules of the course will take an average student about 10 to 15 hours to complete, and they teach a wide range of topics in digital photography, including exposure settings, reading histograms, learning about light, how sensors and lenses work, and how to post-processing photos. Here’s a screenshot of all the modules and resources:" I have not taken this course; it appears to be an overview of using a digital camera and has modules on software, light, exposure, optics, histograms, software tools, digital cameras, color, and artifacts. David Molnar explains key steps to shooting vibrant photos. I took the course and found helpful hints in using light to capture the energy of the person being photographed as well in tips for relaxing client and posing client.
"Tim Grey is regarded as one of the top educators in digital photography and imaging, offering clear guidance on complex subjects through his writing, speaking, and training."
I am taking his on-line course Lightroom 5 - Optimizing Your Photos. Tim Grey clearly explains and demonstrates how to edit your photos using White Balance, Tonal, Clarity, Vibrance, Colors, Graduated, and Radial Filters to name a few. This course contains seven chapters each containing 5-7 sections. http://greylearning.com/?page=2 is web address for this remarkably helpful course. Welcome to my blog which will share websites, tutorials, articles, courses that I discover and that have helped me learn how to be a better photographer and stronger editor. So much to learn. I am grateful for all those who share their expertise. My intention is to include website address, brief explanation summarizing available information, and some examples of what has been helpful to me. I welcome suggestions from you about good sites and how they have benefited you. Here's to creativity and learning. Cathy Eaton
