Photo a day June: it’s time!

by

Well May has been and gone and now June is here! It’s a big month for me. I’ll be in The Great Barrier Reef for a week, we’re moving house, I’ll be celebrating a birthday and more! I hope that means good photos.

May was a rollercoaster month for me. Looking back on the photos I can remember each day and how I felt, or what I was going through. It makes me realise that this is just like keeping a journal. We’re capturing snapshots of each day, and they trigger memories … well for me they do anyway.

Over 1 million photos were shared on Instagram for #photoadaymay. Isn’t that mind-blowing? I wonder if we added up ALL of the photos on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram {plus those using the incorrect hashtag}, blogs etc if we’d get close to 2 million? It’s mind-blowing stuff!

So, a big thank you to everyone for sharing their lives through their photos. It’s impossible to see them all, but I try and take time every day to see as many as I can. This stuff will never get old for me. The sharing, the photos, the community – I really love it. So, thank you.

There’s no time for snoozing, June kicks off today – and here is the list again:

Let me explain each prompt a little, so it’s easier for new photo-takers:

1. Morning
Take a photo of anything from your morning; you in bed, breakfast, commuting to work, anything!
2. Empty
Take a photo of anything empty; an empty room, glass, bottle, sky, beach, anything!
3. On your plate
What’s on your plate? That could mean – what’s on your to-do list today? Or literally what’s on your breakfast/lunch/dinner plate?
4. Close-up
Take a photo of something close-up; your eye, the grass, a toy … absolutely anything!

5. Sign

Take a photo of a street sign, a shop sign, someone doing sign language, any sign!
6. Hat
Take a photo of you wearing a hat, someone else wearing a hat, a hat in a shop – and yes those in cooler months – beanies count!
7. Drink
Take a photo of a drink, a beverage etc
8. 6 o’clock
Take a photo of what you’re doing at either 6am or 6pm. Or take a photo of the clock at that time.
9. Your view today
What’s your view today? What can you see? Snap it. Share it!
10. Best bit of your weekend
What was the best bit about your weekend? Take a photo of it.
11. Door
Take a photo of a door, big or small.
12. From a low angle
Get down low and shoot.
13. Art
Take a photo of a piece of art you have displayed in your home, you’ve created or you see while out. Any art will do!
14. Time
Take a photo of time; a clock, a watch, before and after – anything that symbolises time!
15. Yellow
Take a photo of anything yellow – the sun, or something you see!
16. Out and about
Get out and about today and take a photo of what you do.
17. In your bag
What’s in your bag? Share it.
18. Something we don’t know about you
Can you twist your tongue? Did you get a diploma in something? Do you love Justin Bieber bad? Share something that we might not know about you
19. Imperfect
Share something imperfect. Is it you? A broken glass? An irregular shape. Something!
20. Fave photo you’ve ever taken
Re-share a favourite photo that you’ve taken over time or shoot a new favourite!
21. Where you slept
Where did you sleep last night? Take a photo and share it.
22. From a high angle
Shoot your photo from a high angle looking down.
23. Movement
Take a photo of movement; a car flying by, a person dancing, someone jumping – anything!
24. On your mind
What are you thinking about? The news? Your family? Yourself? Share what’s on your mind.
25. Something cute
Did you spot something cute? An animal? A person? A thing?
26. Where you shop
Do you shop online? Or in a store? Share where you shop.
27. Bathroom
Share a bathroom – yours, a public one, a friends – can even just be the door.
28. On the shelf
Shoot a shelf and what’s on it.
29. Soft
What’s soft? Is it your hair, a toy, a sofa, or something else?
30. A friend
Take a snap of a friend and share it.

If you’re playing and sharing somewhere – leave a link below. I’ll be sharing to Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and then here at the end of the month. You can find me as FatMumSlim in all of those places. x

  156. Hi Chantelle, just want to say this is really fun! I love the serendipity of it~ I woke up on June 1st and looked into the mirrored screen of my new iphone :} and took a sleepy-eye'd photo (as I'm trying to work on my photography) in the light of the window, then I checked the photoadayjune list and it was Morning.

    I have just checked the list for June 3 (which is now for you but I get to sleep before then) and it's On your plate~ well, we're planning to go out for dinner to a place that make the largest cakes and serve the most gigantic individual slices I have ever seen! Photo op!

    Don't let anyone dull your shine today!

    Smiles,

  159. I love this…I started last month but I up'd the game by using it as a challenge to all my FB friends. I am an American living in China and my FB contacts are from all over the globe. This is a great way for us to share a little of what we see each day…so entertaining and interesting on what how the list is interpreted by our international community. Thanks for the inspiration.

  160. First time participating. Just saw this on a Blog and funny thing I took a photo of my breakfast this morning and the day before yesterday a pic of the morning sky. I think it means I should do this lol
    I will put on instagram and blog and sometimes facebook via instagram.

  167. I want to thank you so much for setting up these challenges. I played along in May for the first time, and had so much fun, I'm continuing into June! I've been out of work for a few months, trying to make some life decisions, and this has really helped give me something else to focus on that's positive. Thank you!

    I am sharing my photos on my blog, http://cherisidlechatter.blogspot.com/, and (when I remember), on your Facebook page.

    Thanks again.

  198. I'm sharing on Facebook and Instagram. First month ever – so happy I saw this! This started out as a way to celebrate the month of my birthday, but I really like this means of expression. I'd love to see pictures other folks take! :o)

  212. Hi! Participating on this photo challenge for the first time and will be sharing on my Flickr and on Twitter (@strangedesigns)

    It's been fun so far and given me quite a creative boost! Thanks 🙂

  215. Thank you for the challenge! It has inspired me to not only take more photos but has encouraged me to blog more regularly.

  218. I'm sharing on Instagram (lynnebee)- first time I've tried a photo a day. It's been fun so far to see how this affects my day, how I look at things – thank you for that! 🙂

  221. OK I have finally joined the smart phone revolution. I am sharing on instagram at karen_notley. I have a really dumb question. How do I share instagram photos in a blog post (blogger)? I have had a look around but am somewhat technologically challenged and can't find a neat solution.

  225. I love your photos a day challenge! Unfortunately, I've tried the last two months to stay consistent with it but I can't ever complete a month…here's to June!!

    Thanks for this project. It's just what I need 🙂

  239. Hi! Thanks for the time you’ve put into these! They’re very entertaining and make me stop & notice the small, simple things in life! 🙂 BTW, how did u put all your pics together like above???? Thanks.
