Nifty Fifty Challenge 2024 - Chat thread

Just in case it's of interest to anyone :)

No themes, just for fun, spin off of the Nifty50@50.

2024 - Week 16, 20, 21, 24, 28, 35 and the Nifty50- Chat thread.

Hi, Just a bit of fun, taking the Nifty50@week50 idea and running weeks for other FL's. Details below in the chat, but the idea is to post your favorite/best image you've taken in 2024 until the week of display in the image threads (they will appear at each week, dates below). Rules. Images...

Mine's in. I was going to wait until the end of the month to post, but I don't think I'll be able to top it.

Right place at the right time. Also, the first time I ever asked a stranger it I could snap a couple pics.
 
Hey gang, I need to pull out of the challenge. Although I was using a 50mm prime lens, my camera has a crop sensor. Seems I learn something new almost every time I log in here.

On the bright side, I have a new reason to upgrade my rig.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Have you not got a zoom lens that covers the 30mm range?
Most kit lenses do. 31mm = 49.6mm on a 1.6 crop.

No need to pull out, feel free to use your zoom, I appreciate you prefer to use a prime :)

I sent you a link to DPOTY, it may be of interest too.

Why not post in the relevant categories of the general forum? Or maybe we should start a compo "runners up" thread in photos for pleasure?

Thanks, Cobra. I wouldn't trust myself to not adjust the zoom to get a better shot, right?

Although, I've only had the 50mm for a few weeks, I'm enjoying the challenge of shooting with it.

Thought it was an interesting idea, so looked what adapters I had, found an M42>M43, took the first unused camera from a box, and the first what felt like a 50mm lens from the M42 lens box (it was still dark) and this is what I got.
Tried it out, and it is surprisingly OK, but it has just started drizzling, so it must wait.

It almost looks like they were made to go together

Sorry very very late one for me. My 13 year old daughter was assaulted recently, so I just haven't done a thing photography wise.

Just wanted to get something in for the month.
