It's been two long years since stillshunter came up with the idea of this challenge, to help cure LBA.
If you don't like intense challenges, and hard work, then read no further, you wouldn't last a week, so don't bother.
If you don't mind the challenge, and have enough grit to stick it out, then the rewards are just awesome, you gain some really good friends, and improve your photography skills, and youget to say "I made it" at the end of the month.
But don't worry, most of all it is fun, there are lots of great people to support you during the month, and your LBA won't lessen, especially when you see what others can do with their chosen lens for the month.
And you get to take a shot every day, and your passion for photography is rekindled.
===============================================================================================
The rules are simple. Choose one lens and take and post a picture to the daily group thread for each day of the month.
Here is a sample day from July 2012.
There is no pressure and everyday doesn't have to be a masterpiece.
Many parts of the world are represented Australia, Asia, Europe and North America. It's a great way to get more involved in the forums too. (Love to see a contingent from India, Asia Minor, and/or South America)
Here is how it works
Take a picture each day using the same lens for the whole month (it's ok / inevitable to miss a couple of days - so don't worry)
Upload the picture to a "Single in September 2012" album in your album space on the forums or you can use Flickr (
Single Challenge link) or other hosting service. If you want comments, you will have to permit commenting by making the photo public in your album, or on Flickr or other service, and Provide a link for us to click through to.
Post the picture to the daily thread here.
You will have to join the group to post there.
Comment on other member's pictures (please and thank you). All comments will be warmly received from the basic "I like it" to "Well, I think you channelled Ansel Adams wonderfully!"
Have fun, learn lots about your camera / lens combination, and yourself!
EASY!
You can freely select any single lens to use for the whole month, and it's OK to use extension tubes, macro add-ons, teleconverters etc. However, please include the lens details when you are posting your pictures.
As this is the Pentax Forums I think it would be best to use Pentax cameras or bodies. As to lenses any manufacturer is ok. So full frame must wait unless you want to use film (Some participants have posted film - you can too!).
If you are unsure how to post pictures please check the video below or ask in this thread.
Patjapan has kindly created a short video clip on how to use the board posting features to post your image in the thread (please 1024 long side) and add a link so that we can leave our comments.

I know there's a place for "softness" and I think I've learned a lot in this Singles group about using it to good effect, but deep deep down, the science background keeps coming through as I try to document the real world in my images.
