digital photography

One easy and fun way to connect with fellow bloggers who love photography is to join a meme. If you’ve been blogging for more than a few days then you probably are already familiar with memes. If not here is a quick definition.

A meme is a collection of posts on different blogs that all have a similar theme. Usually these are done weekly and are usually hosted on the same blog. You post your entry and then comment on the weekly meme. Then take part in the meme by visiting other entries and leave a comment.

There are two photo memes that I really enjoy. There’s Odd Shots Monday that takes place each Monday. Just post an odd or different photo on your blog. It’s simple and fun to see how people interpret this theme each week.

The other photo meme that I try to do at least twice a month is Photo Hunters. Photo Hunters is played on Saturdays, and each week has a theme. The themes are listed on the website, and there is an even a notification service by email to remind you of the upcoming theme. This is another fun one to see how people interpret the theme.

There are many other photo memes like Wordless Wednesday and Macro Monday. I chose the two that I enjoyed the most because of the community of participants and the fun themes.

Taking part in a photo meme is a good way to learn new techniques as well find blogs of interest to you.
