Looks good, but you probably should think about allowing yourself a "little" wiggle room. At first it is pretty easy to get a theme covered, but at the end of the year, it becomes harder to get something for "That" theme that is left. Ha! (Maybe allow a substitution or two.)

Of course this is all for fun and it is between you, yourself and you again how close you have to follow your guides. The important thing is to HAVE FUN! Good Luck!

Thanks for the support Walt!

I think I've included enough fairly general themes / techniques to allow enough wriggle room. Hope so! I'll allow my self to be fairly creaytive in my interpretation of each topic when required ;-)

I'm looking forward to it :)

Rather obviously playing around with my brand new 50mm F1.8G. Some may not like the glowy effects around the metal angel but I don't mind them.

I like the glowy things. I haven't been able to do that yet, but then again, I haven't really tried. Putting it on the to do list.

Thanks... easy - just focus on something in the foreground (angel) and have some small lights (Christmas tree lights perfect) in the background. Use largest aperture. And a tripod! :)

A quick, simple image. I was hoping for some sunshine through the window but no luck. Something nice about the mix of bright and faded colours.

Found this fascinating graveyard of huge signs along a pedestrian path in Alfama, Lisbon, near the castle. This was perhaps the least interesting sign but the best photo! In the middle of the grassy space was a guy playing a guitar. The street art is typical of Lisbon, we discovered. I'll find a spot to post a few more of these colourful shots.

Have you started a 365 thread? Good place to post your photos and see how you're progressing.

Hi Marilynne,

I've never tried anything like this before and know I don't have (or make) the opportunity to shoot every day, let alone upload a photo. Maybe when I'm not working full-time!

You don't have to post a photo every day. I don't. It's a place to keep all your shots and to see how you've progressed.

Hellooooo!

Contrary to popuar belief I've not forgotten about my 52 in 2016 challenge... just failed on a number of weeks. I've just lined up 7 photos to upload, though have a few weeks with very slim (or non-existent!) pickings.
Watch this space and I'll fill the gaps, even if it has to be in retrospect. (BTW, so useful to have Lightroom as a tool for filtering by date and camera for this exercise :) )
