Photography by Wesley R. Elsberry

This gallery is for the pictures I will be taking in the Lakewood Ranch Digital Photography Club 52-Week Photo Challenge for 2014-2015. Each year, a set of 52 themes is created, and photographers are supposed to post a blog a week, taking a theme from the set. This doesn't show up without an image, so I'm tossing in a very old self-portrait. I'll delete that once the challenge period starts.

REMEMBER: You need to make one post per week for 52 weeks in accordance with the pre-defined themes and can make your post on any day during that week. You are not required to start with No. 1...jump around and have fun! Photos taken before August lst are not allowed, so after August lst, grab your camera and head out to begin taking photos. If you are a "late blogger," it will be easy to catch up...just post enough photos for the number of weeks you are behind. When you post a photo, give a brief description about why you thought the photo matched the theme you selected. Be sure to name the post by number and theme name. Since you linked your website to the other 52-Week bloggers, they will all be notified via email that you have posted your photo and if you clicked into their website to follow them, you'll be notified every time they post a photo. Good luck to everyone. Hopefully, this has answered your basic questions about how to set up your 52-Week Challenge blog!
