You're welcome.
Do not fear, it doesn't have to be too difficult or time consuming.
Don't know who'll be your partner, can we have a recruitment drive?

(I offer a lens cap)

edit: you then would be with me and stillshunter, realized afterwards that this joke could be mishunderstood.

1) My list of lenses is with my signature; but if it is not visible:
da35mm, da70mm, da50-135mm, sigma 18-200
2) No, there is no list to choose from for partner suggestions. Think of something or look online for inspiration...

I did send a PM but I may not have done it right and you may not have revieved it. And it appeared that you either only have 1 lens on your listed profile or I could not find it. So I did not choose a lens for you. I chose 'Frames" as your subject. By Frames, I was asking you to shoot a subject with something that is close to the subject being the frame. For example, if you were shooting a boat, the branches of a tree close to the boat could be the frame for the boat. You would not need a 'frame' on all 4 sides of the picture. Be creative!

[Fluid at work with the da50-135 for me? I have been too lazy to carry it around after getting used to the tiny da limited 35 and 70mm lenses. Should be a nice challenge. Thanks.]

FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO JOIN LATE OR PULLED OUT AND WANTS TO GET BACK IN:
-Use the 'partner missing' item for your second picture for each week.

Hi Bramela and Duh_Vinci

Was just to write a post

My lenses are:

DA*16-50/2.8
DA40/2.8
Tamron 90/2.8 Macro
Sigma 55-200/4-5.6

and a 360 FZG Flash

Maybe it will be most easy to communicate about the partner challenges per private e-mail? If so mine is: j.lyk@privat.dk

Bramela · 10-01-2010, 01:47 PM

Flash
Note I have added an extra lens (DA35mm).
And my email addres : step303@bigpond.com

Duh_Vinci · 10-01-2010, 04:16 PM

Manual lenses are:

To get this started - Bramela will be getting a theme and the lens from me, he, in turn will be giving Flash Gordon a them and a lens selection and Flash - you'll let me know my theme and the lens you want me to use.

Next week we'll go in reverse order, OK with you guys?

The only advantage to posting partner challenges here is that others get to see what kind of challenges people are coming up with. That is not a bad thing. That is one reason why I posted mine here. But that is up to you all...

[wedgetail: we can continue to post ours in here but I am ok with sending it to your email too if u want to]

A quick question.

Are we posting our photos here or on a group page?
