Documenting 2012 in pictures – February snow
At the beginning of the year we introduced you to the new 52 weeks project our communities team are running on Flickr to document the year in pictures – here's an update on the and showcase of some of the best photos from week fiveSince we started the 52 weeks project to document the year in pictures – a collaborative effort with Flickr users – we've seen the group taking part grow to more than 700 members and so far more than 1,000 photos have been submitted.From fireworks and storms in week one, to back-to-work blues and foggy sunsets in weeks two and three, we have now reached week five and the first week of February has been dominated by the snowy scenes. The aim of the group is to not only chronologically track 2012 in pictures – but to explore the ways we are taking and sharing photos in 2012. The news Kodak was filing for bankruptcy sparked this thread with users showcasing their favourite snaps taken on a Kodak and reminiscing on their favourite Kodak products. The group has also been sharing links to other places where these photography themes are being explored – including Timeout London's instagram albums, and soundcloud's storywheel.Finally 52 weeks users are sharing their favourite iPhoneography apps they use to add to the feel of the moment on their android snaps – this thread has a great list of apps for android including RetroCamera and Paper Camera and this thread looks at the top apps for the iPhone including Camera+ and Tiltshiftgenerator. As the group continues members are exploring and experimenting with taking photos on all sorts of devices - but especially new photograph apps and how phones are styling the day-to-day images of our lives.
