Just had a catch up on the images thread, great to see so many entries. Well done all

To save starting a new thread, I've updated the title for this thread and edited the first post to include the links to the monthly image threads.

I'll give it a go for 2024 ... I'll be using my Olly M5 with a Pana 25mm f1.4, which now prevents the other half from complaining that I've too much stuff an should sell things I don't use

 

[Paulie-W]

So when do we get to know the first one?

So when do we get to know the first one?

Rules..

• Images must be taken in the month of the theme and posted here before the end of the month.
• Images taken at the Nifty Fifty focal length on full frame or the equivalent focal length on crop bodies, ie. Canon 1.6 crop body plus 35 prime or 30mm on zoom etc.
• No lens modifiers, this is about the purity of the Nifty Fifty FL and being close to the human eye.
• Tiny crop to straighten allowed, try to keep the image as close to what the lens would see.
• Cropping to new ratio, ie 16:9, is allowed, but please keep to full width and as a last resort, it is about the purity of the view from the lens above all else.
• The theme will be posted on the first of each month, in the title bar of the image thread.
• Shoehorns, even Lube and Crowbars are allowed to squeeze into the theme
• A poll will be added at the end of the month, (just for fun, no records will be kept).
• One entry only please.

I'm not giving you a head start just because it's it was Christmas

Ok ok but it was worth a try

I may post on the Eve before

That might make for an interesting one, especially if you're a little pickled

I'm a boring sod, I'm Teetotal I could ask around though

Nothing wrong with being teetotal, mate. Good grief, I dread to think of what sort of answers you'd get

Probably best I stick to stabbing the list I have, I don't want a ban on my first run

 

[ajophotog]

I might give this a go too, it will have to be my 25mm on a mirrorless Panny G3 2x crop...Old school

 

[Paulie-W]

Starting to get itchy for the first one, now

Not long to go, hope it's worth the wait and build up

I can't see why it wouldn't be, Gav. One a month is just about perfect

 

[Adamcski]

Almost time....

I do, Gav. One a month is plenty for me. But as it was such a nice morning etc etc

 

[Adamcski]

Sorry, silly question perhaps but can we post more than one image for the month?

[Adamcski]

Start by putting the kettle on

On what?

 

[ancient_mariner]

On what?

If you have a small head it might be a great hat.

 

[ajophotog]

My head is way to big to fit, maybe you should try Toni and take a selfie and show us

Me too, I'll have a go as and when I can, with a similar setup except Olly M1, same lens.

 

[Paulie-W]

Same boat, mate. Just need Gav to get his thinking cap on for the next one

Even a clue would help

You guys could always fill your time with the 52 challenge.
One image per week, on theme, and any lens / camera combo you like.
Dead easy right?

Where's the fun in that
