Community Update #5 (7/04/2019)

New weekly theme

Next week's theme is Early Bird. Let's do some progress towards the Early Bird badge. Take photos before 8AM. Sunrises, morning commute, breakfast, or a selfie - sleeping. Whatever you see or do early in the morning. Starting Monday 08/04/2019.

Tookapic Updates

What are we working on now:

Cool stuff

  • Conflict 🎥 - short documentary series about war photography. I'm linking to episode 2 since I think the first one is not that great.
  • Exposure calculator 🤣 - Find out exactly how much “exposure” you should receive for your hard work, based on important metrics and complicated scientific algorithms. (I got 118 exposures)
  • Sharpening and reducing noise in Lightroom 🎥 - A step-by-step tutorial on how to sharpen particular part of the image and get rid of the noise.

What's up?

What have YOU been up to last week? What are you working on? What are you struggling with? Found anything that might be interesting to other members? Maybe you took a photo you're particularly proud of. Share it! Share it all!

Doesn't really matter since this isn't a job, but a hobby LUL

I'm still trying to figure out my next theme. Nothing so far, but I am trying to complete the mysterious badge XD

Magda Korzewska I have 8 picture out of 1234 taken before 8AM. I am not early bird at all. Some of them might have be taken in Asia before time's change in my camera. I I try to force myself to take something before my work. Maybe not for sunrise (I manage to got up twice or three times) but at least before 8AM. Have a great week, cheers

120mr :D :D I thought that I had few pics before 8 am, but still it's two times more ;)

Anne I was ill all the time almost last two months but I think I'm getting better now. So I hope april will be a break from streak photos for me. And I missed tookapic ;)

Urszula Stachowicz I haven't been on Tookapic since the beginning but I love how it changed during all this time. At first I was going to stay here for a year but it turned out that I can't leave this place. :P
What is also great – that you, Paweł, not only make this site better, but you also ask us about the receiving and make adjustments.
This Community Update is as well a cool stuff! I have 2 photos (out of 831!) I took before 8. And this theme ALMOST makes me want to get up earlier. :P I suppose waking up is not a big deal but being conscious enough to take a photo could be challenging.: P

Geral H. Well, i do wake up way before 8 am, but i go to the pool. It's the only time in the day i went out without my main camera because of the wet clothes and humidity of the pool. I might try to figure something out to take it, since i do see wonderful sunrises.

jenth23 I already have early-bird badge, but I took a photo in the morning to work towards theme veteran

Marcin K. preping for the dissertation defense... 😖
