Welcome!

Hello and welcome to shutterspeed!

The idea behind this community is to take more photos. Anyone with a camera (or with access to one) is welcome to participate!

Members will suggest prompts for the community. Then you can go out into the world and start taking photos based upon the prompts. As with writing or other pursuits, prompts can encourage more creation.

Please post up to one (top-level) post per day with your photos. If you have more than one photo to post, put your additional photos under a cut.

I am thinking 2-week prompt periods, at least to begin with, although there was some discussion in this post about having prompts windows of longer length for more difficult (abstract) challenges. Let me know what you think!

Use cuts generously! Please warn for possibly disturbing or triggering content and place it under a cut. Same goes for nudity or adult content.

Please contact a moderator if you have questions or concerns. You can send a private message or comment to this post.

Tell your friends to join! All photographers of all abilities are welcome here.

First Call for Prompts!

Hi, all! I'm raanve, and I'll be one of your co-mods!

First, I'll introduce myself just a little. I live in Ohio, and I've been interested in photography since I was a child. My dad is a photographer (both as a hobby and as a profession), and he comes from a photography-loving family. (We have plenty of family photos where one of us has taken a photo of someone else taking a photo. It's a little ridiculous.) You can see my Flickr photos here.

Lately, I've been slacking a bit, so I'm very excited for this community! But of course, before we can get started, we need prompts! Since prompts here will be based on member suggestions, we'd like to open the floor for the first round now. There will be a poll a bit later to for members to vote on suggested prompts, and then off we go!

So, give us your best shot in the comments!
