<br />
However, we're not going out without a bang, so after our usual hunt (meeting at the corn exchange at 6:45pm) we'll be heading for The Maven for drinks. There we can share photos from the hunt, and there will be some special challenges around the bar for a special prize. We'll also be sharing our plans for over the winter. <br />
<br />
We'd love to see you there!

Shame on you.<br />
<br />
<br />
There are different ways you can do it:<br />
<br />
1) Got a Flickr account? (Or if not, got five minutes to create one?) Then you can join our <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/leedsphotohunt/" target="_blank">Flickr Group</a> and add your best shots. Name the photo with the word you hunted and tag it LeedsPhotoHunt.<br />
<br />
2) Tweet it and copy our account in so we can RT the best ones - Our account is <a href="https://twitter.com/leedsphotohunt" target="_blank">@LeedsPhotoHunt</a><br />
<br />
3) Be incredibly lazy and just <a href="mailto:leedsphotohunt@gmail.com" target="_blank">email</a> us and we'll bung some online for you.<br />
<br />
Don't be shy. There's a mix of talent and experience come along to both the monthly hunts and the specials.<br />
<br />
<br />
As an added incentive, we're looking at organising an exhibition of some of the best photos in Leeds soon, so if you post a few you might be able to add 'Exhibited Photographer' to your CV.<br />
<br />
<br />
We're risking the weather for one last outdoor hunt this year before the dark nights set in. We'll be starting from the Corn Exchange again at 6:45pm on Monday the 1st of October with an hour of feverish hunting followed by a bit of socialising at a nearby public house.<br />
<br />

I'll happily exchange it for anything.<br /><br />Which makes it a wonderful coincidence that this month's PhotoHunt begins from the Corn Exchange!<br /><br />This may be your last opportunity to get out in the late summer sun (yes, really, the weather does look half decent for Monday) so grab a camera,a phone with a camera on if you're one of those trendy people, or even a lapel badge with a camera concealed in it if you're an MI5 operative, then come and join us at 6:45pm for the start of what is guaranteed* to be an hour of fun and frolics**.<br /><br />Afterwards everyone is invited to a drinky somewhere local for a natter and the award of this month's STAR PRIZE, worth a value of up to £1,000,000.<br /><br />*No actual guarantee, but a very high likelihood.<br /><br />**Leeds PhotoHunt does not condone excessive frolicking in public places.<br /><br /><br />Leeds Photo Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11760371490574543703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209486547065678243.post-29131386573431345872012-08-05T09:34:00.001-07:002012-08-05T09:34:25.299-07:00Leeds Photohunt and SocialPhotohunt isn't just about taking photos. It's about friendly competition whilst at the same time getting to know new people and having fun. Which is why this month we're having the normal photohunt starting at the Town Hall at 6.45pm, then after the usual hour of frantically taking photos we'll be heading to Dock St Market to take part in their quiz. <br />
<br />
You can do just the photohunt or just the quiz or both, and you get to pick your own teams. As always it's all free! Hope to see you there!

(That's Monday the 2nd of July if you're reading this tomorrow.)<br />
<br />
No festival, no requirement to be appreciative of wonderful architecture, you can, should it be your preference, be dull and uncouth for an evening.<br />
<br />
You've been meaning to give a PhotoHunt a try for ages. Why not make it this one?<br />
<br />
Come to Leeds Railway Station for 6:45. Bring a camera, or just use your camera phone if you want.<br />
<br />
We give you a list of 50 words, you head off in small groups (or on your own if you really want!) and see how many interesting photos of the 50 things you can find in an hour.<br />
<br />
You're then invited to join us for a drink to compare notes.<br />
<br />

Usually there's a time limit, but with the festival being on all weekend, we're letting you have the list so you can explore at your own pace.<br />You don't have to be a great photographer and the challenge is to come up with creative pictures, but all the words on the list can be found along and around the waterfront walk. <br />Can you find all 50? <br />Some are easier than others and we reckon five of them are a real challenge. If you can find all five of the words in capitals, email them to us and there may be a prize for the first one to get all five.<br />There's also an extra Word of the Weekend. Send us your best picture of that word and the one we think is best will be announced here and on twitter.<br />The list will be published before the festival, but not too far in advance - we don't want anyone being too keen and starting the hunt early!<br />In the meantime, check out <a target="_blank" href="http://www.leedswaterfrontfestival.com/">The Leeds Waterfront Festival website</a> for more details and check back here on Friday for the list and more information.<br />Any questions, you can reach us on leedsphotohunt@gmail.com or tweet us @leedsphotohunt<br /><br />Leeds Photo Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11760371490574543703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209486547065678243.post-84184615390328235712012-06-25T08:07:00.003-07:002012-06-25T08:07:43.451-07:00The People's Exhibition: Kirkstall Photo ForestOne of Leeds Photohunt's sister projects is The People's Exhibition; and it's back! <br /><br />We'll be creating a photo forest for <a href="http://www.kirkstall-festival.org.uk/"><span style="color: #cc6611;">Kirkstall Festival 2012</span></a>!

Think about what you love, go and take a picture of it, repeat for as many times as you like, and send the pictures to us at <a href="mailto:tpeleeds@gmail.com?subject=Kirkstall Festival Photo Forest"><span style="color: #c00000;">tpeleeds@gmail.com</span></a>.

On the 14th July why not head to Kirkstall Abbey to take a stroll through our forest?<br />

You can hunt them anytime...but next Saturday is a glorious day to do so!<br /><br />The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA are having a festival at the moment and as part of that there will be a unique PhotoHunt, taking in some stunning architecture in Leeds.<br /><br />Here's a link to the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.lovearchitecture.org/event.html?event=147">Leeds Architectural PhotoHunt </a> page of the RIBA "Love Architecture" website.<br /><br />It starts at 1pm from the Museum steps in the 23rd and there's a link for where to register.<br /><br />Yes, register. Of course it's still free but this one's all official. If you've been intending to make it to a PhotoHunt before but not got around to it, make this the one.

Your task is to take a picture relating to that word. Think laterally, think logically, don't think at all - it's up to you. Photos will be judged on composition and creativity, not technical merit, so feel free to snap away with your cameraphone as much as a £2000 DSLR.<br /><br />Once you're happy with your picture, email it to leedsphotohunt@gmail.com, post it to Twitter either mentioning @leedsphotohunt or hashtag it #LVPH, or post it to our Flickr group.<br /><br />The best ones will be ReTweeted and posted on this blog.<br /><br />The word this time is "SMALL" and this week you have until 6pm on Sunday to enter.<br /><br />The winner, chosen on a complicated and unquestionable basis by us, receives a unique yet almost entirely worthless certificate but it does include a free drink at the next walking PhotoHunt you get to! <br /><br />A quick reminder that the next one is on Monday at 6pm.

It's creativity over quantity, but the list has been completed by a team in the past - can you match them?<br /><br />Whether you get one stunning photo or 50 half-arsed ones, it's then off to the pub for a drink and to see who's won the star prize as Master of the Hunt. <br /><br />Watch out for the unveiling of the word on Friday and hopefully see you on Monday too.<br /><br />Leeds Photo Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11760371490574543703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209486547065678243.post-87651305767731901882012-04-25T12:24:00.001-07:002012-04-26T07:18:31.107-07:00Metamorphosis / Miserable*Update* Entries on the subject "Miserable" also now being accepted<br /><br />Metamorphosis.<br />A word that conjures up all sorts of images.<br />Well, grab your DSLR; Compact; Mobile or any other device you can get an image online with and show us what it conjures up for you!<br />This week, you can either email them to us at leedsphotohunt@gmail.com or if you have a twitter account hash tag them with #LVPH or mention @leedsphotohunt <br />We also have a Flickr group of the same name if you'd like to join in there.<br />The best photographic depictions of the word will be retweeted and posted here and we will choose a winner to receive an entirely unvaluable commemorative certificate.

<br />
We've really enjoyed doing PhotoHunt, and we've got a great group of people coming along. However, the nights are drawing in and so are the rainclouds, and nobody wants to be running around town in the cold and wet. So we're going to have a bit of a changearound over the winter months.<br />
<br />
From 7th November, we'll be moving PhotoHunt indoors. It will still be 6.30pm on the first Monday of every month, but we'll meet at The Victoria pub on Great George Street. Each month will have a theme, the first of which will be Portraits. It'll still be focused on fun and playing with your camera rather than technical ability, but it'll be a great opportunity to share tips and try out new things with your camera. And yes, there will still be an awesome prize. We might even splash out on a couple!<br />
<br />
We'll also be doing a special PhotoHunt in December on a Saturday to take in all the Christmas excitement, so don't put your comfy shoes to the back of the wardrobe just yet!Leeds Photo Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11760371490574543703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209486547065678243.post-72883716566159290712011-09-27T02:23:00.000-07:002011-09-27T02:23:51.066-07:00Leeds Photohunt: Last of the season!Monday 3rd October will be the last outdoor photohunt of the year. I'm guessing people aren't going to be wanting to run around in the dark and rain, so we'll be moving inside until spring (although we might do a Christmas special). We'll be having a discussion after the hunt about the changes we'll be making over the winter.<br />
<br />
So come along to the Corn Exchange at 6.30pm on 3rd October. Bring your camera and comfy shoes.Leeds Photo Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11760371490574543703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209486547065678243.post-51004614003710357472011-08-11T05:47:00.000-07:002011-08-11T05:47:53.189-07:00familyphotohuntWe've been hoofing around town for several months now, but we always meet in an evening. We're aware that this makes it difficult for some people, and isn't all that welcoming to kids and families.<br />
<br />
With this in mind, we're creating the first ever leedsphotohunt family day! <br />
<br />
On 21st August we'll be meeting outside Leeds City Museum at 1pm, and teams will be given <b>two</b> special hunts - one will be a special themed photohunt, and the other will be clues that you need to solve to take the pictures (you'll probably need a smartphone or a massive brain for this bit)<br />
<br />
You can choose which (or both!) photohunt you do, but we're hoping there will be enough of a range that everyone from Grandma to toddler can take part. There won't be a set time limit like normal hunts, so you can take it at your own pace, and upload your results into the flickr group when you're happy with them.<br />
<br />
All you need to bring is a camera and comfy shoes, the rest will be completely free!Leeds Photo Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11760371490574543703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209486547065678243.post-54631633411433321612011-08-11T05:40:00.001-07:002011-08-11T05:40:42.765-07:00We're hunting for hunters...Leedsphotohunt has been going well for a few months now, and we're gaining members all the time...but we're greedy and we want more! <br />
<br />
On the next leedsphotohunt we're looking for someone to come along who would like to write up a little what's-it-all-about review to put up on the blog and direct people to who are interested.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in coming along and experiencing leedsphotohunt, or if you're a regular hunter who fancies a chance of writing, let me know. I can't pay, but I can buy you a drink and you'll get an awesome prize for being best writer!

The next leedsphotohunt will take place on 5th September. We'll be meeting on the steps of Leeds City Museum at 6.30pm (aiming to set off at 6.45pm). Bring your camera and comfy shoes, and that's it, because we're completely free and very friendly!<br />

<br />
The premise is simple - you get a list of 50 words and go out in teams to take creative pictures. The aim is to stop overthinking and start playing with our cameras. There's also a bonus round where a theme is given, and each individual competes to take the best picture for that theme (there's even a prize!)<br />
<br />
Afterwards we all go for a drink and discuss the pictures.<br />
<br />
The photohunts have been going for a few months now, and it's growing all the time. If you'd like to come just turn up with your camera, or let me know at leedsphotohunt@gmail.com - we'd love to have new members!Leeds Photo Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11760371490574543703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209486547065678243.post-69412438047841895142011-07-22T02:37:00.000-07:002011-07-22T02:37:51.089-07:00Virtual PhotohuntFor the last few weeks, virtual photohunt has been very wonky. Scheduled posts haven't been posting, posterous (and anything else we've tried) hasn't been allowing other people to upload, and I've not been available to chase round and rally the photographic troops.<br />
<br />
So there's going to be a few changes.<br />
<br />
Virtual photohunt will still be posted every Friday morning. However, there will now be no time-limit as to how long you get, as there will no longer be a winner. The aim will be to get as creative as you possibly can, just for the sake of it. <br />
<br />
As we can't find a reliable way to upload your pictures straight to the @leedsphotohunt twitter feed, please now upload your pictures yourself and use the hashtag #photohunt so other people can see them. If you need help uploading, send a message to @leedsphotohunt and we'll try and talk you through it. <br />
<br />
Photos for virtual photohunt are also more than welcome in the flickr group - just search 'leeds photohunt' and you'll see the group.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your patience whilst we've been trying to iron out all the difficulties!Leeds Photo Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11760371490574543703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209486547065678243.post-91602628332498989102011-06-30T14:28:00.000-07:002011-06-30T14:28:40.316-07:00Changes to Virtual PhotoHuntHello!<br />
<br />
There's been a few problems with uploading pictures for the virtual photohunt each week. So we've changed from yfrog to posterous in the hope that this will solve the problem; and a bonus is that it will collect all the pictures into one posterous account!<br />
<br />
So from now on, if you'd like to take part, please email your pictures to leedsphotohunt@posterous.com and they'll automatically be uploaded to twitter and the posterous page.Leeds Photo Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11760371490574543703noreply@blogger.com0
