Time to commment:

@Gregja - i like the viaduct image it's jumping out due to its complexity.
@Harmvb - being on the road generates some slowdowns but i do see at least three images that are lovely.
@Alanfrombangor - The trains are expected, and very well done indeed - but the other non-train images are also of high quality. I hope the fruits can be quickly harvested (to produce some more of this next week).
@Pegelli - all that variation and good quality work - it must have taken a lot of your time to produce all this.
@Phil Wood - both weeks have been productive. The choise between those images will be difficult.
@Waldo_Posth - a first colorfull week with tons of variation and HQ - the b&w's are most portraits but even there you manage to differenciate.
@Howard_S - A few classics, with modernism in between. I'm expecting something nice in the more abstract series.
@Robbie - a lot of enjoyable images during week 1. We hope to see more.
@Wilu - a first week with enlightning images indeed.
@Hezu - a suksesfull b&w week. I enjoyed the images (the only one i'm finding true horror, but photographically fine, is the +40 degrees image).

Where is the thread for Day 25?

Although I'm still bit unsure which photo to choose for today, it would be nice if there would be place to post it...

Finally some more color into the abstract shots. I'm not used to that kind of photography so that challenge to me is a success no matter what the results are (it reached its goal to get me/us out of our comfort zone).

Okay, done. Just realized I said I used the Sigma MC-11 adaptor, but my Sigma 105/2.8 DG HSM OS is A-mount and I used the LA-EA3 - edited my posts.

I like my Sigma 105mm and should use it more....

Another challenge met - with the usual mixed success. I'm very pleased with a few shots - it will be interesting, as ever, to see if the voting agrees with me (unlikely).

28mm has never been my favourite prime length and abstract (semi or not) is not my comfort zone. At least we had a week of good old B&W in the middle!

Yep, challenge done, although I deliberately skipped the week 28 part as I didn't quite feel like limiting my creativity with limited focal length choice, but B&W was reasonably straight-forward despite that I haven't that often been using B&W and certainly not all the photos I took that week worked without colours. Abstracts were certainly the hardest part, but in the end I still managed to take each day something suitable despite that I sure wanted to take (and took) also photos that certainly cannot be classified as [semi-]abstracts.

I wasn't able to participate in the semi abstract week, so my contributions ended a week ago.
