SOME ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS:
The Group Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Also known as FIQ (Frequently Ignored Questions)
Just as a matter of housekeeping, and to help clarify the more common questions, we've put together this list of points to help everyone understand what this group is all about and what goes on:
Please feel free to contact an Administrator or Moderator to ask questions, or you can post a thread - we're a friendly and positive group.
PLEASE - read the whole of this section first to see if your answer can be found. Oh, and no nudity please...keep it family friendly please!
Q: What is "7 Days of Shooting"?
A: A group where the photography displayed within the pool is on a central "theme" that lasts for 7 days. Within those 7 days, the "subject" of the day changes.
THE DAILY THEMES ARE:
Simply Minimal Sunday - Minimalism will probably raise more conversation as a theme than all the others and as an art form is the idea of reducing something to its most basic form including colour, shape, value, lines and texture - or lack of. Basically a reduction of form to only the essentials of geometric abstraction - either a simplification of form, monochromatic pallete or anonymity of style so that the photo will lack conventional context.
An example is here
Macro Monday - Focus just inches away from an object or subject so as to produce big close-ups, sometimes even larger-than-life size. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a macro lens: Just get in really close with what you have. This shot should be as close to a true macro as you can create with the equipment you have.
Technique Tuesday - This is open to exploration and will hopefully provoke people to think differently about what can be done. You should use any of various techniques to express various forms of experimentation, manipulation, processing, texture perhaps odd POV (Point of View)
Your description must include a reference or explanation of the technique that you are expressing or trying to express.
Black & White Wednesday - This will be totally black and white, and definitely will not contain
any colour pops, or shades of a single colour.
Thoroughly Abstract Thursday - Abstract photography contains a design of patterns or shapes where the identity of a subject is not easily evident.
Shadowy Friday - A shadow effect should catch the eye. Not just an insignificant shadow effect but one that really defines the image, making it powerful, more meaningful and very dramatic.
Here is a website that might help express what we are looking for to the members:

Shoot Anything Saturday - Take it easier and shoot whatever you’d like that fits the weekly theme.
Pictures posted to the group must not only fit the theme of the WEEK, but also reflect the sub-theme of the DAY.
Q: Do I have to take a new picture every day?
A: Absolutely not. Of course, if you wish to - you may! People who do, may end up getting a special mention! Library shots are acceptable at any time. The object here is a pool which has a consistency in the THEME of the images.
Q: My photo hasn't yet appeared in the pool. Why?
A: All photos require approval by an Administrator or Moderator, to ensure that the image is "on theme". If its clearly not or contains unsuitable imagery, then your photo will be rejected.
Q: I have tried to drop 7 images for the week into the pool, and it wont let me. Why?
A: To maintain the consistency of the images through the pool, you may only submit ONE image per day. This way when members/guests browse the pool they can clearly see the continuous theme. In time, it will probably be quite easy to work out the exact date on which images were taken, if you get the theme right, and the day going by the mood/subject of the picture.
Q: What are the themes?
A: The administrators maintain a numbered list of themes for the year. When its time to pick a new theme, we randomly generate a number and use that theme for the upcoming week. That keeps an element of surprise and fun for the members.
The following rules apply to this group:
TAGS FOR SUBMISSIONS ARE MANDATORY TO ALLOW MODERATORS TO APPROVE A SUBMISSION. TAGS ARE PROVIDED ON THE GROUP PAGE TO COPY/PASTE.
There is a theme for the whole week, which changes every week, and 7 sub-themes or daily themes (one for each day) which are the same for every week.
Photos MUST adhere to the Weekly theme and the Daily Theme.
Members can post no more than ONE image per day, and are approved/denied by the Admins and Moderators of the group, according to relevance to the theme of the week and day.
Do not post images for a day earlier than that day unless by prior arrangement.
Weekly Themes change on Sundays and run till Saturdays and new themes are posted to Discussions about 4 weeks in advance.
There is of course no obligation to submit a photo each day, but ensure it fits with the guidelines for the appropriate day of submission:
Late submissions for a given day will be permitted for a MAXIMUM of one day late only.
Submissions that don't fit the themes OR do not have the TAGS applied will be rejected immediately, without feedback unless the moderator chooses to respond.
If you are undecided on suitability or need further guidance, either mail an Admin or Moderator, and/or search the group discussions.
