Idea dumping ground

[neilcreek]

I sometimes get ideas throughout the day and think "I'll have to try that sometime", but pretty quickly I end up forgetting them. So I've decided to start a "brain dump" type thread here for my photography related ideas.

Feel free to comment if you like, and you can also start up your own breain dump thread if you like

Idea: Photograph single letters around the place to make a specific message. Say I wanted to say "Life is wonderful" I have to look for an L then an I, and I can't take photos of any other letter till i've found the next one. I could upload the letters one at a time to a flickr set, spelling out a message a letter at a time for those watching. Problem is, 99% of my life is inside this one room... I need to get out more, so I can find more letters!

I think another great idea would be to do something with 'Getting the Angle just right' as in the post you made here Neil:

There could be some really interesting and amusing photos from taking shots like the ones seen on the link you posted: http://damncoolpics.blogspot.com/2008/10/pictures-taken-at-just-right-angle.html I got a good laugh looking at some of them and found them to be inspirational too. 

As for your idea of photographing single letters, I was wondering ... are you meaning to take photos of actual letters from signs etc or photo's which depict a letter? For example here are two of my pics I have called the letter 'O' and 'Q':

PS .. For some reason I'm still having trouble posting photos linked from my flickr ... obviously I'm putting in an extra space or something ?
