Photo 150 - a yearlong photo challenge

However, I have always wanted to join the "full frame club" and those A7ii are right-priced, but that just means more lenses too! When I get that itch for full-frame, I just grab a film body, LOL. If I do end up with an A7 variant, I'd probably just get a 50mm lens at first, re-create my early days of photography -- SRT-101 with a Rokkor 50, or XE-7 with a 50mm.

That may just mean you have a lot more *newer* gear than me. :-)

We're 13 weeks in, one quarter of the way through. Congrats, all!

dCap is still shooting. I see him on Instagram and Twitter. He's off of Sony gear again though, focusing on a 365 day project instead using his smartphone and new Fuji.

For me, this challenge has been at a good pace. I only had to go to all archive shots just one week. The hardest part for me is thinking up a theme for each week. I do notice that I take the same/similar shots every year, . But, ultimately, nothing stays the same, so the shots are different enough.

Keep up the momentum, folks.

I like that idea. Maybe I just take pics in and around the office until this project clears. I mean, they may not be as wonderful as the seascapes but at least I'll be doing something.

Thanks.

This challange have got my Photo-mojo-juices started to flow again. Not only is it fun (most of the time) to look at old photos it have also as an side affect got me shooting and posting new stuff here

I think it's working great for me so far, only a pity that our great inspirator dCap seems to have bailed out

All my three projects are helping me and enjoyable

I especially like the weeks I have no prime and comitted to a shot somewhere in a zoom range. Somehow I'm using that as an exercise to be much more careful with framing and avoid distractions at the edges.

The vintage digital macro is a blast, Especially the challenge to manually focus in the dim viewfinder of my KM5D is sometimes a challenge but when you hit it right the files are easy to work with and have great colours. The A700 is much easier to work with but the files are a bit harsher, which is not always what I want in my macros.

And the dig in the archive gives me a good look at all the junk I kept, sometimes there's something overlooked that's postable but there's some candidates selected for the wastebasket as well. At this moment they just get a black flag, but after some time they will all be permanently deleted.

All in all, I'm happy and find it relatively easy to keep up.

Cannot believe that I've just posted week 12!

Finaly got some more feeling for longer focal lenghts thnx to this challenge.
The creative project realy puches me to go out and 'catch' anything at all.
