Is it too late to sign up? How do we no each week what the theme is?

Welcome aboard both !!!

Question: in the "helpful information" INFO post, it says there is an official Flickr group. So I searched for TP52 - I got two groups about sailing, one for TP52 2011 and one for Talk Photograph TP52 2012.

What group is appropriate for 2015?

 

[Manxmaid]

Here's the new one for this year: https://www.flickr.com/groups/tp_52ers_2015_/

Thank you

I see you are sorted now, but for future reference,
all the words, in that post, that are bold dark blue italics are actually hyper links.

Quick question, i thought of an idea for 'bliss' and while scouring the net for props ive seen a similar photo by someone else. Frowned upon? I dont want to be accused of cheating lol, but i suspect with the idea ive got, most variations are likely to be done already..

Nothing wrong with that Rich... sometimes folk's in the 52 post similar pics, it's going to happen, certainly nothing wrong with getting inspiration from a google search, trying to recreate a shot you like, or a twist on a shot you like... it is still a learning lesson and gets you out with your camera

Yep, what DK said, if you are that concerned, post up the link to the image that provided the inspiration to you. Most things are acceptable if you explain your thinking behind it.

In 2013 I recreated MC Eschers 'hands drawing hands' image. (Link to my thread), I even traced the cuffs off the original on my computer monitor onto paper before photographing my hands onto them.

Go for it!
