Week 51 ... some shots that I took at the San Diego Open back in September. This was the ATP 250 event that lead up to this year's Indian Wells tournament. All shot with my Sony A6400 and Sony 70-350 lens.

Dan Evans


Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares


Taylor Fritz


Felix Auger-Alliassime on the practice court (bonus shot)


It was so much fun seeing these pros hitting a close range.

Just saw your comment, @Wētāpunga. Not sure if I'm up for another year-long challenge. Maybe a once-a-month view of my favorites that I have taken is a better pace for me. It's tough to post every week! And the Dyxum site makes it tougher to post too since I can't just post here like I can elsewhere -- e.g., Instagram, or other social sites.

Great to see you jump on board, I missed your pictures from California.

The Calavaras Mural shot in film, does have an interesting look and feel. Do you think you might be able to manage the challenge better next year?

I'm wondering that instead of having the option of a 2 week 'break', maybe we could be allowed 12 wild card photos. They could be anything you like, including archived or repeated shots.
α1, α7cii- Voigtländer 15/4.5, 110/2.5 M; Zeiss Loxia- 21/2.8, 35/2, 50/2 & 85/2.4, Zeiss Batis- 85/1.8 & 135/2.8; Sony 24-105/4 & 100-400/4.5-5.6; Sigma 70/2.8 M; Sony 135/2.8 STF

Week 50 ... it took about 9 months for me to finish up a roll of Fuji Superia X-tra 400 using my Maxxum 9. Here are a few shots.

Calavaras Mural at Kalavaras Restaurant -- I've posted a digital version of this wall earlier this year, but film definitely has a different feel


Two Palms at Sunset


Succulent


Bonus: Rocks at the Beach at Point Fermin (San Pedro, California) -- shot with a 50 1.7 during Week 50mm!

Week 49! I might as well jump back into the game. I feel like I have a little bit more time as we approach the end of 2021. I'll see if I can finish strong.

Congrats to everyone who has been able to post each week. This was a lot harder than I thought it would be. At least I know what I am capable of photographically from a time management perspective.

Here are some shots I took on a trip to San Diego back in January 2014. NEX-6 with my Sony 55-210, and my NEX-3 with 16mm pancake adapted to a fisheye for the 3rd shot.

Near the Tide Pools at Cabrillo National Monument/Point Loma

Thanks for the feedback, Maffe and skm.sa100! I'm still planning to catch up one of these weekends! I need to take a look at the other threads though, see what folks are posting.

I'm something of a tennis fan and like the sports shots.
Also the first shot of the cyclists is interesting. Their repetitive form shows how close they are and how much in sync they need to be. Cycling is fun!
More Dyxumer, less photographer.

Week 24 -- some new shots! Pics I took while mall walking at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, California.

I bet I could pull off this look! Store windows are always fun to shoot.


Balloons!


Flowers


All shot with my A6400 and 16-70

Yes, @Hezu ... I was too lazy to look at the source images I have folders of post-edit images, but didn't spend the time to dig deeper. I'm enjoying re-discovering my old shots though!

Can't you look at the originals? That would at least tell if there is something outside the chosen framing that you did not want to show on purpose.

Archive pics shot with my Maxxum 5D and probably Sigma 70-300.

@Wētāpunga ... yes, some evenings are just perfect.

@Maffe ... trying. All good. I'm still enjoying the process!
