It's the first time that I've tried this and I'm going to make it a little more challenging for myself by using a different lens every week.

I'm in the same boat Bob, newbie to all this.
PS, do you really have 52 lenses :eek:

Using a different lens ever week is a cool personal rule for your challenge Bob, I look forward to seeing your images :)

Most of the images will be limited by my ability but they'll be one or two where the lens is the weakest link
 
Good luck, Bob - I'm looking forward to seeing the images. I think for this first week you should go for the 65mm MPE!
 
Week 1....Gates

Not much in the way of decent light over the past week but a quick trip to the local canoe/kayak slalom club found some colours.

Taken with a Pentax 645Z and an FA645-200 f/4....1/250 f/4 iso 100

Excellent take on the theme, I'm not overly sold on the processing but it's a strong image enhanced by the shallow DoF
 
Like the idea for the theme and I like the DoF you've used

Thanks Chris. Always interested to see other peoples take on things so feel free to put your spin on the original (well, a compressed jpeg of the original)

I actually like this, good example of DoF and adds a different variety to this weeks theme. took my eyes a while to focus bang down the middle :beer:
 
Hi Bob and welcome

:clap: a striking image ... (preferring the first) ... minimal colour and ... I didn't have a clue what it was. :D
 
Great photo, I like the shallow DoF, makes the whole thing quite abstract. (y)
 
Very clever and original idea for the theme, and I like the use of DOF....
 
I like your take on the theme. I think the processed on works well the front gate really stands out.
 
Week 1 - Dropping the saturation of the background while retaining the colour in the OOF gate poles works well to isolate them into an almost abstract effect.
 
Really good first image, Bob - love the processing, composition and depth of field - really interesting take on the theme.
 
An excellent take on the theme, wish I had the ingenuity to come up with something like that.
 
Week 2....People (Actually a banker shot from last weekend in case nothing turned up....which it didn't)

People/person is a nice shot Bob, shame the top is clipped but I do like it and think it would go in mono well.

Thanks Dave. I would prefer mono too although I didn't want to get boring after "mono'ing" most of last week's shot.

Tught crop works for me. Plenty of detail, more than just a banker in my opinion.

"People" implied multiple to me.....hence the doubt.

I will confess to knowing the subject and called out to him to grab his attention as he passed by.
 
Nice placement in the frame, warts 'n all portraiture (y)
