Photogamer Challenge #7 Super Winners
Thanks to everyone who played this seventh round of photogamer! We have officially made it to 600 members! Herrealworld is our 600th photogamer! If you haven’t gone and looked at the group list, you should. We as a group rock the house! One thing that I’m noticing happening more and more is that photogamers are leaving encouraging notes and favoriting each other’s photo! This is so rad!
If you have friends you’d like to join the fray, you can go to the photogamer group page and click on invite and invite your friends to join. Playing photogames is more fun when you play with friends!
This week the challenges got you playing games like rockpaperscissors and videogames and got you out of the house to take 100 steps and find something low! We’re suckers for self portraits and we love it when photogamers take pictures of themselves and so when you took your own photo with a photo of yourself, it was like self portrait wonderfullness times ten! When we share our lives in photos, we get to know each other better. I’m looking forward to more challenges that will get us telling stories with our photos!
Without further ado, here are the Super Winners, chosen with complete subjectivity and partialness!
1. Play “Rock Paper Scissors.” -lethal- played rock paper scissors in the country! Despite loosing the round, the composition is great with a super diagonal line of grass in the background. The diagonals is a great design element!
2. Take a photo of yourself with an old photo of yourself. Since inthesilence only has photos in her flickr stream that are photogamer related, I have to believe that she joined flickr, just to play with us. This self portrait with an old photo is awesome. I love the look on her as a little girl holding the hose… It looks to me that she is enjoying the raw power of holding a hose and knowing she could get anyone wet! This one was really hard to judge. Check out all the photos in the photogamer group that are tagged “oldphoto” and enjoy them, favorite your favorites, and leave comments on the ones that make you laugh out loud!
3. Walk 100 steps and take a picture of from that 100th step. Honeyrider took a hundred steps and came up with these two photo of where she started and ended. You’ve got to click the picture to read the description of the photo for the back story!
4. Take a close up shot of a video or computer game. Who remember’s Q-Bert? Did you know they actually had a Q-Bert TV show? L. Marie brought the memories of jumping around on a pyramid of cubes rushing back!
5. Find something in public that is less than 6 inches tall and document it. Craftygoat got so low, she took it underground. I like the way that there is a house peeking over the horizon! (Sidenote… I accidentally posted this pic instead of craftygoats… It’s an awesome photo too, go check it out!)
The bonus this week was to find an old school photobooth and take a picture of it. These are getting rarer, so this took some effort! Global Hermit found one and took one and got silly. We like the photos with the silly faces!
The next photogamer challenge goes up on Thursday!
