A roll of film a day for seven days!

[Katie]

In doing it now (on vacation) - does that count? A roll a day through the mamiya 7 on my two week trip...

[steveyork]

You could easily expose a roll with worthwhile in an hour. Just got for a walk. Easily done.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I sense the pressure to include digital earlier in the thread. So I'm commending Keith for standing up for film.

I will join you.
This project sounds like lots of fun.

i thought perhaps it was a reference to me...

[ruby.monkey]

I just realised - if I can get away with six shots of 5x4 as an equivalent to a roll of film then I can do a different rangefinder each day.

I may use a different camera/lens each day. I could have a digital camera and a film camera.
Man, this is fun.

It was as much about standing by my original idea as it was to do with film Will. I felt the whole thing was in danger of becoming diluted by offering too many options. Film keeps the intensity more on track IMO.

Keith are you going to publish a consolidated final list of rules, at some point?

Yes definitely. Nothing much will be different from what we've been discussing in this thread but I will start another thread probably on Monday evening my time with the exact requirements and rules.

The thing I like about this is it's not a competition ... it's about the experience and what we will be able to share with each other after it's done.

I like that too. Competition is fine, but keeping that out of the picture (ha!) allows one to focus (double ha!) on other characteristics of the assignment / project / activity.

If the winner picture to be taken from a connected series of exposures, then yes, it would be awesome to see one's contact sheet.
But if the winner is just a lone unconnected shot, would other (say 35) shots be of any interest to you?

Chris N brought this to my attention - I think it was because I mentioned that I just finished rolling off half my bulk TMY yesterday. Great excuse to make more room in the fridge I reckon...well I'd only fill it with beer if not maxed out with silver halide.

But like many I'm a salaryman and light is precious and short for us Southerners right now so...

Can you clarify please Keith?

P.S. Great idea BTW - I've run a few "Single in.." month-long PAD challenges in other forums so you have my sympathy with the tennis and badminton players....and please don't forget us more cloistered lovers of squash

Cheers

I've avoided this for a while, but what the hell - I'm in. Going to give my contax a workout.

[TXForester]

I have more than seven film cameras, so there is a question what to use if I do a different camera with each roll? I think at least seven of nine Olympus cameras work, so I might shoot all Olympus/Zuiko.

I'm not Keith, but I'll try to help out anyway.

While the title doesn't say "for seven consecutive days", that is clearly stated in Keith's first post. Unless he decides to change the rules, it is seven rolls of film in seven consecutive days within a 28 day period. One roll a day.

Here is the part about 7 continuous days from Keith's first post:

You can start on day one or you can leave it to day twenty one but you must be committed to the idea and follow it through within this period. Shooting two rolls in one day is 'verboten' because this is about committment to a plan and sticking to it no matter how hard it may seem occasionally.

There is more explanation about the objectives and other rules in the first post.

Tsukiouji that is exactly what I was thinking about when I made the suggestion .... it would be awesome

Shooting a roll a day for seven consecutive days, it would be difficult for the shots not to be connected in some way But you are are correct if there are no connection to the images then there would be no point .... another thought is that most photographer are terrible at editing their own work . Perhaps showing all seven contact sheets and have Keith do the edit

I'm ready to go! Here is the line up I plan to use, with the matching film. Some of these I haven't shot in a while, and some have film to shoot before they're ready to join the fun, so...
