How and where do we upload images?

brilliant idea...but I think, you have to tweak the mechanics. how about designating certain days for submission; designate a selection day; and, then discuss what were chosen at week's end. this way, the thread stops. I'm in but still scared

Just putting this out there, I know we have a daily photo challenge here on UHH hosted by photogrl57, I believe the idea behind her thread is to get people out and using their camera every day. Now I dont want to step on her toes but I was thinking of hosting a weekly photo challenge that would be more geared toward learning how to use your camera, what changing certain settings will do and helping members go from using a pre-program mode to learning how to use the scary M mode (manual). There would be weekly assignments and we would discuss as a group what we learned each week, maybe even take a selected group of images from the lesson and discuss them as a whole.
Let me know if anyone is interested in something like this.

I'm in! Never too old to learn. Too old, maybe, but not to learn!
Maybe this progect will help get me offof my old butt! Not to mention teaching me more about my old Sony.
MWAC, Thanks for challenging us! I do have questions though. Maybe a little of my photo history will explain:
I am an 83 year old retired minister (definately older than dirt) that started with a Nikormat FTn and used Aperture, and Shutter settings a lot. Went through many years totally out of photography, except for family occasions. Then a year ago I got a Canon G12 but have never mastered it. Then a month ago I got a Lumix DMC ZS5 and so far have only taken pictures the "lazy" way..."Scene" (Portrait and landscape, etc.).
Now, my two questions to you:
a. This little Lumis will function well on A or S settings,
but if set on A for instance, it doesn't tell what shutter speed it chooses, I don't know where to find the info. hence I won't have that to post. Can I post without complete info.?
b. My other question is about what camera I should buy to have more control. I don't want to lug most DSLRs, but after reading a blue million reviews don't have a real prospect in mind, except maybe a Fuji X10. Just reading doesn't tell me whether I could master it or not. Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks!

I just wish that 40 years ago I could of had photographic mentors like those found here, that way it wouldn't have taken me 35 years to finally produce a passable photo.
That's exactly what I need. I hope it works.

post the info you know, you're not being graded and I promise not to drive to your home and beat you with a stick because you don't know the answer to a question. lol b.

I was acutally reading about the X10 the other day, it looks pretty nice the physical size is a nice selling feature to me. I actually really want to look at the Nikon One (ya I know I'm a Canon girl, shhh) the idea of it's phsyical size and inter-chanable lenses seems really appealing to me.
I need more lead time. The daily quest is out for me, for many reasons. I would like a challenge of a photo, or series of shots of a particular subject, but due one week out. Give me some time to go find and shoot the shot and do my PP before I post.
I would be very very interested in this concept
