You went AUTO!!
REAL togs go fully manual( even when we can't remember what to do
I thought part of FPOTY was to try and instil some discipline in us rabble?
Well the boss has priviledges and I don't mind an extension to put a shot up
No more extensions, sorry Brian. We've had two months to get a photo for this. Don't forget you can take your photos at any point in the year, so maybe start planning March or Aprils photo now if you find the times a bit tight?
Well yes but:- winter, kids on half term and a short month and if you don't work in a city to pop out lunch time for building shots.....all good excuses why it is more difficult this month, and I don't mind a few days given for someone to enter if desparate.
H'mm well no need to be sorry for me Carl as my shot is in and next month is ready
Remember also, it's possible to win the entire year by being consistently on the podium and never actually winning a round.
Thing is, that's life. If one misses a month, see it as motivation for planning and executing some killer photos for the coming months to make up for it
Does that work in reverse?..........Can I win a round and / or regularly be on the podium yet still obtain the pride of being in last position

Well I reckon there should be an extra award..... "brownie points" for trying...sorta like Eddie the eagle
That's my architectural shot down the Swanee then. I should have known photographing the conservatory wouldn't be good enough.

And without any of that namby-pamby coupled viewfinder or rangefinder nonsense!
..and true fimies just want the results and don't mind goodies on a film camera to achieve this, but all the others achieve their results with a digi camera and just use a film camera to twiddle knobs and levers and call it an experience... Oh and maybe get some results on film.

It's easily done.
Some advice I had was that, on a bright sunny day, set it to the "group" focus setting and everything from a few meters to infinity will be in focus as the camera will pick a narrow aperture.
Don't forget, entries for February close tonight! The poll won't be up until tomorrow morning, but entries after midnight won't be counted.
We’re only one entry away from matching the 15 that were entered in January! I think there might be some more to come ( @Sir SR @FishyFish @Woodsy ?) so it's been a successful month
Mine's already in there - posted it last week.

Can someone edit the title so it makes it clear that is for photos taken on FILM only. It isn't apparently clear enough
@Carl Hall when you put up the next entries thread, can you make the word "film" appear more prominently in the title please, to reduce the chances of the digerati joining in without checking the rules? Thanks
PS I'm still trying to choose... neither of the shots I printed yesterday is looking quite up to par
I've changed it from "FPOTY" to "FILM Photographer of the Year".
