It really is quiet sad what has happened to the 52 since the little clique made their comments about personal lives and catching up, used to be such a friendly part of the forum away from the "gear wars" on much of the rest of the forum. I do hope that the new blood coming in and the clique off doing their own thing might result in the 52 getting its sense of fun back.:)
I'm sure the the project will get off to a great start, it always has done over the years I have been doing it.

Not wanting to moan and introduce negativity I am exhausted and I very nearly chucked the challenge in the other day, but I managed to get catch up images done and get myself up to date. Sorry for not getting around to comment, even typing this up is hard work for me at the moment.

My wife has booked a week away from Monday, at least I think it's Monday [emoji848]and we are off to Puerto Rico, so I'm hoping it will help me recharge a bit.
 
Thought some might be interested in this,

Look at the difference between these images, I reckon there is at least a 1/3rd of a stop difference between the two, one is on flickr and the other on the forum. Any ideas why this should be so? It occurs to me that when we also take into account monitor calibration the image I see on lightroom and the image you see by the time it gets on forum can be vastly different. I am not having a moan about the forum just interested in why? and whether we can do much about it?
I have seen this before, I assume it is just how the forum software compresses the image when it is embedded on a thread.
 
I will finish my 52 this year but sadly not a cat in hells chance of joining in the 2019 52 as my post in my thread explains why. I will be having a very good rest and plan to get my self Fit and will be back for 2020 52, so I wish all the New 52 members a great time to have fun and show off your great photography.

I'm really sad and sorry you decided not to part take next year. You've been a very proactive member here over the years and have been fun having you in the challenge. I fully understand your decision and wish you all the very best luck for 2019 but please do pop in sometimes you're always welcome. (y)

Thanks Stan, I have to really get my health sorted, so as it was a wake up call I have to get it sorted. I will pop in and comment on the images for 2019 and the only reason I would not is, something goes wrong in the operation I will have to undergo.

Having been to a few parties over the last few weekends I've not really got anything planned party-wise this week. I'm sure i can set something up though (y)
 
Oooh!

It’s my birthday on Saturday :)

There’s talk of an all day session at Hawkshead Brewery! :D
 
It’s my birthday on Saturday :)

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Dave :beer::clap::banana:

Bet you got sick of the old 'joint-Birthday-and-Christmas-present' ploy as a kid?!
I know my brother did, but then again his presents always seemed twice as good as mine!:D
 
Well that's strange, my post to join the 52 in 2019 has been removed and I do not have sufficient privileges to reply to the thread. Appears I have been banned from next years 52!

I was about to PM you but as you posted openly.

After a long discussion with "some people" and the site admin,
the following conclusions have been reached.
The 52 has been running for 9 years, without issues or problems, but a few of your posts and comments the latter half of this year, have made a few people leave
and some of the regulars not rejoin.

You cannot post in the 2019 discussion thread, nor sign up thread or the post your images here thread.
There is nothing to stop you from following the 52 in 2019, starting your own thread, and comment on others threads, or them commenting on yours,
However, should you or other members desire,
or indeed you ask I can excluded people from posting on other peoples threads also.

Thank you to everyone on the 52 boards for welcoming me so warmly, and for being patient with my somewhat newbie critique style.

**Raises glass** Here's to a successful and productive year for everyone! :banana::clap:
 
And a very merry yule to you Gareth and all my fellow "class of 2018" who have entered into the spirit of the 52.

Enjoy the season of goodwill.

And now, the end is near
And so we face the final curtain...
Congrats to all that made it this far (y)

Tomorrow I may not be "connected" till late so have an early one. or wait until tomorrow to open it, either way, you lucky lucky people :D

So this is it, and its a Showcase week! Show me your best shot from 2018, and say why it's the best. Either post a previous one, retake a previous one or take what you consider to be the best ever image from 2018 ... enjoy (y)
 
Last Thursday of the year tomorrow and I wonder what's in the bag for our last theme of the year. :thinking:
Well, you didn't have to wait that long did you? No peeping now :p

What a fantastic day and theme @Cobra as Flickr staff have managed to help me get my Flickr account back up and running, so as I had a peep I know just what image to post :cool::fuji:
 
Wouldn't want to spoil the surprise, but I have a question regarding the theme....so....

Should I post one of the very few images I have entered this year, or can I just post anything as long as it is awesome!? (Bit of a stretch for me I know!! :D )
 
but I have a question regarding the theme....so....
Read it again, the answer is in there (y)
(Basically yes to the latter)
 
Thank you Chief and thanks for the patient through the year. Have a nice few days off and looking forward to the next one.

Thanks @Cobra , I was squinting at your spoiler alert in order to not see it clearly and thereby not spoiling it for myself!:D

And another big thank you from me for all your hard work, and for not minding me cluttering up the threads!!:D
