I will up load today's photo tomorrow because right now all I have running is my laptop and I don't have my editing tools on this yet. Should have the new computer ready tomorrow. It's together tonight but I have to install the OS plus I'm rearranging my desk situation.

Erm, actually... I think I already know.

Well, I am very unhappy with the results from my lens choice of the month. For some reason even using the green button to meter, it just isn't working out. I've come to the conclusion that maybe this lens is just too dented. Using a flash light shining through the front and back of the lens, shows many pits, and maybe some fungus, or sludge. I tried to use this lens sometime ago as itself, 50mm and nothing I shot was in focus. So, for this month I'm done. I'll try to pick backup in September.

Noooo. Just swap in a similar focal length lens and keep going. You now know more than you did 6 days ago and thats mostly what this challenge is all about.

Well, I did just buy another M50mm from the marketplace. I'll substitute a zoom at 50mm until that one gets here.If that will work. It's in the US so it shouldn't take that long to get here if he ships right away. He guarantees the lens is clean and clear.

Yes, please please please stick around, we all need you very much.

Aww! Thanks Jack. I'll stay.

Strewth! Had me worried for a minute there Mar! Great news!

Cheers Paddy

**patjp** · 08-06-2012, 11:49 PM

I agree too Mar! Just keep going!

**NaClH2O** · 08-07-2012, 03:57 AM

Glad you're staying Mar, I've always enjoyed your contributions. Besides I'd suffer great gobs of separation anxiety if you left.

Well just to show how much I know, I chose my main shot yesterday as one of a downtown train platform. I thought I would throw in an extra, the reflected distortions, thinking it was perhaps too ordinary. Of course it has attracted more attention and has reached #15 on flickr Explore!

This is my fourth Explored photo and all have been entries in this challenge. So Single In does improve your photography by at the very least improving your eye.

And thank you for the kind condolences on the passing of my dear Casper.

**blackcloudbrew** · 08-07-2012, 07:22 AM

It was an awesome shot and was head and shoulders above the train platform, although I liked that one too.
