Metamorphosis / Miserable

*Update* Entries on the subject "Miserable" also now being accepted

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!
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
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.

Back into the light

After spending the dark evenings enjoying the hospitality of public houses, using everything from plastic models to real ones via cress to produce works of art, photohunt returns to the light next month.

To warm up for the walking photohunts, there will be a virtual photohunts or two over the next couple of weeks.

We give you a word, you take a photo related to it and upload it to the Flickr group, tweet it to @leedsphotohunt or email it to leedsphotohunt@gmail.com and the best will be posted here.

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

South Leeds Photohunt

This Saturday we will be doing a special photohunt around Holbeck. This is a particularly great hunt, as we've got permission to go into some interesting buildings, so it's not to be missed! We'll be meeting at 12noon at St Matthews Community Centre in Holbeck.

It's supported by  Exposure Leeds, Leeds Digital Festival, Health for All and Looking Good Holbeck & Beeston, so there'll be a lot of competition for best photo. As always, photohunt is free, and we even have some cameras you can borrow if you don't have one. So pull on your comfy shoes and come hunting!

Leeds PhotoHunt goes undercover!

Just a quick reminder that PhotoHunt for November (and the rest of the winter) will be indoors. We'll be meeting in The Victoria Pub on Great George Street at 6.30pm, and there will be challenges to complete rather than the usual list of things to hunt. You still only need to bring your camera, and it's still all free (although you might want money for a drink)

Look foward to seeing you there!

Changes to Leeds PhotoHunt

Hey everybody!

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.

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!

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 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.

So come along to the Corn Exchange at 6.30pm on 3rd October. Bring your camera and comfy shoes.
