For a general introduction, refer to our About page. For something a bit more specific, you can stalk the 'Cals of your site creators:
As a ShutterCal member, you are basically uploading one picture per day. This picture usually shows something that you did during that particular day, someone you saw, something that happened to you, etc. Though, you are not limited to showcasing your day. Some other ideas that you could do would include posting one drawing that you do per day, one person you talk to per day or perhaps another creative idea that you can come up with that can be tracked on a day to day basis. This is the sort of thing that might not seem so impressive in the short term, but over a couple of months, these pictures really start to turn into something wonderful.
You can, but you don't HAVE to, just be sure to take a photo every day and hold onto them, and you can fill in the days on your next visit. The average user uploads twice a week. Of course, the more regularly you update, the more interaction other Cal'ers will have with you and your photos. Just remember to stick with it and have fun!
No catch. We just want to encourage people to take and post a picture per day for as long as they desire. This sort of thing is a large undertaking so it helps to have a support network of people who are doing it too.
Our server is located in the Central Time Zone (GMT-6), so you can upload your next picture at 12:00:01AM CST
Any pictures uploaded onto ShutterCal remains the property of the photographer. We aren't selling your pictures to anyone, creepy or not.
Don't be a jerk. That's really it. Be supportive of each other and if you're going to criticize, let it at least be constructive. Oh, and no outright porn, because then we have to do that age restriction crap.
