Hello!
I took part in and completed a 52 in 2012 (link) and after having had a year off, I'm now ready to go again.
I've upgraded my equipment since last time; I'm now using a D7100 and also invested in a 70-200mm. I've still got the 300, 50, 60 micro (next on the list to upgrade) and yes, rather annoyingly, the 18-105 (which I really should have upgraded by now!).
I'm still focusing on nature and wildlife photography and have recently added pet photography to the list. This time around the challenge isn't going to be so much about photographing things I wouldn't normally shoot, but rather coming up with new ways to photograph the things I love. This means you can expect to see mostly flowers, furry things, close-ups and abstract details.
I may occasionally play around with new ways to post-process, but generally speaking I limit my PP to white balance, exposure and contrast adjustments.
These are the rules & guidelines I've set for myself:
1. TWO jokers allowed - but no passes
2. It's okay to be creative with the interpretation of the theme - as long as I can explain the thoughts behind the photo
3. Late on-topic submissions are better than shoe-horned on-time entries
4. When a Re-shoot is drawn, I will choose between that and the new theme (I will not do both)
5. Post feedback on other participants' photos at least once a month
2013 was a good year for me photographically: I took more photos than any other year, I did a few pet photography sessions and I sold my first wildlife images. Hopefully 2014 will be even better!
