Phil, my problem is more one of organisation than accrual of glass. Across all the mounts I probably do have around 50 lenses ... it's just finding them that gets hard!
Wetapunga - thank you. One was picture of the week in the 750th exhibition, which brought me joy. Right, I'd better get started ... |

Hi Howard
Sounds like you have a plan. For what it is worth, some of those Peru shots were pretty amazing so I think your challenge last year was pretty successful there |

Of course you have! ![]() I wonder just how *many* lenses and cameras you have in your collection now? |

Some good thoughts there. I felt I was suffering a little last year working through unedited archive photos (a few thousand!), but it was good for lock down. I tired of my creative ultra wide aspect ratio theme, and the vintage digital theme was supported a great deal by my wading through those Peru photos! So, for 2022 I will try to produce 50 shots in each of three areas - 'creative' (new-to-me techniques, etc., including video and multi-frame prints, and film (best of 1/3 keepers in the film challenge) - 'from this week' - a delve into the archive for photos taken in the current week, but already processed by me (and usually available on Flickr) - 'prime lens', new photos taken with primes. I'm not sure I can do 50 different lenses in the year (I don't even know if I have 50 lenses!), but I'll aim to produce something every week, the focus being on the photo rather than a lens review - Phil does that so well! I may not follow strict week numbers (especially with this late start) but I intend to keep up with the best of you in due course. |

Good idea Pieter. I might class Week 1 as January 4 to 12 (as the 3rd was statutory holiday here), Week 2 as 10-17, Week 3 January 18-24 and so on.
An extended, overlapping Week 1 seems justified given the patchy start to the challenge. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s images. |

I liberally called week 1 jan 1 - 9 and then run all the following weeks from monday to monday. I would just say pick whatever suits you and run with it.

So are we counting Week 1 as starting on 3 January or starting on 10 January this year? Or should we pick a start date that isn’t Monday? If it was a Saturday we could have begun on the 8th.

I've loved my tele-theme in 2021. Great to take it out on weekly basis & so many keepers came out of it

Hi @Howard_S
I've been pondering as well (on themes). I'm thinking of 3 themes. 1. A telephoto theme. (This would let me give the Tamron 150-500 some use this year, and if I'm struggling, squeeze in a shot of the cats with a 135mm or 85mm). 2. A scenic theme- which I would like to stretch to include seascapes, landscapes and other objects/structures that are, well, scenic. I'm hoping seascapes will dominate. 3. A creative theme- this may only be black-and-white, but there's more I want to try with HDR, Panoramas, and even video. In addition I'm going to give myself 12 wild cards. Shots that I like, but don't fit neatly into any of the themes above. Edited by Wētāpunga - 12 January 2022 at 07:55 |

I haven't really come up with a plan for a new 150 challenge, but as I don't do the other challenges very often I think I ought to come up with something. I'm still pondering.
