July potpourri 2024, talk thread

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.

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....

It's the last post on page 2. It was unhidden yesterday or even the day before.

Today I unhid July 27 and 28

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).

Forgot to bring my camera, but I have seven B&W pictures taken on Monday and Saturday. Next week 3

Decided to try a few street shots - took a couple of test shots, battery dead. Normally this is not a problem, I carry a fully charged spare. Needless to say it wasn't in the usual pocket, or any other pocket. So I've used another Wednesday shot.

WHen I got round to loading the test shots into my computer today, I decided that one was not all that bad - so I've swapped out the Wednesday shot and am back on pic-a-day.
