About "Two Hours in..." (Time Travel with your Camera)

"More a Project than a Group"

Travel in Time - with you camera , & share the results with your friends here!

The Genesis - One day I decided to go home from work the scenic way because the Sun was shining. Later at home, I realised that all the shots I took had been made WITHIN TWO HOURS from the first to the last. "What the Hell, that'll make a coherent set" I thought, tracing one journey on one day in April..

It seemed to work (based on flickr feedback after I uploaded the set).

So here we are in ANOTHER GROUP!

One that requires a higher level of commitment, work & TIMING on your part...but the results will definitely be worth it if you get on board I'm sure.

But very different from Steiners Chaotic Supergroup :)

Just one Admin (Me!) until further notice...

This one is focussed on one theme only - sharing your life behind your camera lens for TWO HOURS...anyrtime, anywhere - as long as it is INTERESTING & WELL EXECUTED!

Use that imagination that God/Allah/Vishnu/Evolution gave you!


Take your camera to work, on vacation, to the game, anywhere...take a series of ulrta cool (as possible) shots & then go home, sort them out, delete the BAD ones, do whatever you want with the good ones & create a set containing the best you took DURING A TWO HOUR WINDOW! (timings on first & last should ALWAYS be 2 hours or less apart! (We can check, so please comply to make this project fair for all members!).

REMEMBER! - YOU MUST MAKE THEM INTO A SET! All shots in the set MUST be titled "Two Hours in..." followed by an alternate title in brackets, (llok at mine, it's not that complicated, honest!). The shot you upload here will just take you to the first shot in the set - you must look at the members sets & look for the one labelled appropraitely!

Max of 70 shots covering the 2 hours (I've done 2 sets so far & around 30-35 shots an hour is obviously OK, including re-treated copies of shots you'd like to include to enhance the set out" if needbe!

Just make sure all shots you eventually include in the set are arranged in the correct time sequence/chronological order, which I'm sure you know can be done with a click in the set's drop down list - this is VITAL to add the Narrative interest we are looking for that adds an additional dimension to this Group like NO OTHER I KNOW OF IN flickr!

Suggested Set Titles - ALWAYS start with "Two Hours in..."

"Two Hours in June"

"Two Hours in Melbourne"

"Two Hours in Japan"

"Two Hours in my Life"


Got the jist of it now? Good.

You can even recommend an appropriate piece of music to play during the slideshow if you like - I do!

I've uploaded the first shot in my two "Two Hours in..." sets composed so far. Look at one of these in flickr Slideshow Format to get an idea of waht we are after here - a pictorial account of 2 hours in your day/life/wedding...whatever.

(I was joking about Wedding shots, no please, not Weddings! Well...if it was all in two hours & the quality is good, well maybe...)


TAGGING! Please tag JUST THE FIRST SHOT IN THE SET "2hrsin" This will act as a starting point for all two hour sets in the pool.

And remember, only upload the first shot in the CHRONOLOGICALLY IN SEQUENCE SET ONLY!

I repeat so you have absolutely NO EXCUSE!

Only upload the FIRST shot in your "2hrs set"

Have fun out there with it...

I literally cannot wait to see if this Group has legs...I think it might
