The latest competition is now up. You can interpret the theme however you see fit, although @dazzajl suggested it "given the time of year". A hint? Complete bollocks? You choose...
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Serendipitous. I like it
Ta muchly
However, the entries come in and they're just brilliant. They're the sort of inspiration that makes me want to take photos like you guys do. And there's a certain something in a good photo that can't be put into words. I like that.
So, when you remark with enthusiasm that you want this to keep going, I genuinely appreciate it. Not just because we get to see various interpretations on a theme, but also because it gives me hope an inspiration that I can take good photos too, not least a good kick up the backside!
So with that said, your competition is safe
To everyone saying that they'd like to be able to have more time and opportunity to make photos, it's really really hard. Probably much harder than finding a few minutes to pick up a guitar. It's well worth getting a few things or places that you'd like to photograph in mind ahead of time. Then actually putting a little time your diary for you and your camera. Even if it's just an hour or two and weeks away, it keep the whole idea alive in your mind instead of having you feel like you neglect it.
And of course this monthly competition is amazing for getting us all going. More huge thanks to @beed84
Seriously, I do wonder if I wandered around now taking the pictures I took when I was 18 or 20, sometimes with long lenses, would I get a more hostile response as a greyer man
The Lowepro full of Canon gear had started to get left behind at home for every holiday, every day out
All manual, just a basic light meter built in.
I used to use a roll of film up over a couple of weeks, then get it processed.
It would have been so much easier to learn and improve with a DSLR!
How fabulous it would have been
Also, I'm thinking of changing the rules slightly, which I hope will benefit everyone. I'll report back this weekend with my thoughts. In the meantime, happy snapping
Give us a clue ... I'm stumped (other than the obvious jump off a cliff) .. :-)
