Summer Hunting
You may have heard of the the Glorious 12th, a date in August which is the traditional start of the hunting season for Grouse.
Photographs are less restrictive than Grouse. You can hunt them anytime...but next Saturday is a glorious day to do so!
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.
Here's a link to the Leeds Architectural PhotoHunt page of the RIBA "Love Architecture" website.
It starts at 1pm from the Museum steps in the 23rd and there's a link for where to register.
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. It's going to be fantastic!

A Small Virtual PhotoHunt
Virtual PhotoHunt is a game anyone, anywhere can play via twitter.
We announce a word. 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.
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.
The best ones will be ReTweeted and posted on this blog.
The word this time is "SMALL" and this week you have until 6pm on Sunday to enter.
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!
A quick reminder that the next one is on Monday at 6pm. See the previous blog for details.
Good luck

Winners
In some ways, everyone who entered the Leeds Virtual PhotoHunt last week was a winner, but in a more real, actually winning way, it was KarolineK with her interpretation of Metamorphosis who was successful.
Here it is for you to go "ooh clever" at.
Karoline has been sent a surprisingly professional looking certificate, together with the money-can-buy prize of a drink on us at a future PhotoHunt.
This Friday there will be another word announced and as its a bank holiday weekend, you have a WHOLE WEEKEND to find that perfect picture.
The photogenic weekend will culminate in a walking PhotoHunt, around Leeds City Centre, starting from the Museum steps at 6pm.
An hour of hunting for that perfect photo of as many of the list we give you as possible. It's creativity over quantity, but the list has been completed by a team in the past - can you match them?
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.
Watch out for the unveiling of the word on Friday and hopefully see you on Monday too.

Metamorphosis.
A word that conjures up all sorts of images.
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!

We also have a Flickr group of the same name if you'd like to join in there.
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. (Plus an IOU for a free drink if you come along to one of the non-virtual photohunts we run in Leeds!)
Be creative. Have fun. Join in.

Leeds Photohunt - February
After a brief break to recover from Christmas, Leeds Photohunt is back! We'll be meeting on 6th February at The Victoria pub on Great George St from 6.30pm. As it's still cold and rainy, we'll be indoors, and the theme will be FASHION (don't worry, you don't need to be fashionable).
All you need to bring is yourself, your camera and the intent to have fun. As always, there will be EPIC PRIZES* to be won.
See you there!
*may not be epic, but there will be prizes
