The idea is that on the first Saturday of each month, you have 120 minutes to shoot a roll of 120 film. You then upload the results to the 120 Challenge group on Flickr (free Flickr membership required).
Guidelines
- Each participant will use a camera of their choice and the 120 roll of film of their choice. If the camera chosen has interchangeble lenses, the participant must preselect the lens of choice prior to the beginning of the challenge.
- This is about capturing what you see through your eyes in 120 minutes. Images of international landmarks (ie The CN Tower, The Statue of Liberty, London Bridge) are banned from your roll. Shooting landmarks are too easy a target.
- Each participant is free to choose any 2-hour time slot they like on the appropriate date; however, the clock will not pause once your 120 minutes have started. Travel time is included in your 120 minutes. If your shooting time starts at Noon, make sure you are at your desired shooting location by Noon. Any travelling done within your time slot to your location or switching locations will be on the clock.
While I can shoot a roll of 120 in 120 seconds, the fact that every frame is uploaded makes me very selective about what I shoot and makes me at least consider the continuity of the sequence, which is generally not on my radar at all. It pushes me out of how I normally shoot, which makes for a really interesting experience.
