I wonder now, that since it's not a judged competition, if we could relax the one-image-per-week rule? I was thinking one archival shot and one fresh one at least? Maybe a max of three total?
Haha - so modest!
That's not a bad plan. It was originally intended to reduce thread bloat - but I don't see a reason for it unless somebody goes waaaaaay overboard!
I'll just straight-up remove it - if over-posting becomes a problem in the future, we can cross that bridge then. Removing it also shouldn't affect current posters

The imaginatively named "Flower" - took this in June last year, but I absolutely love the swirley bokeh.
It was taken with my
Vivitar 28mm prime which is a lens I dont use very often because the results are always a little soft (though maybe that's just me! The reviews say it's pretty sharp at F/8, so maybe Im just doing somethign wrong!)
It worked out wonderfully for this shot though - when I noticed the swirley bokeh I folded the lens hood in on itself (it was one of those nasty cheap rubber ones that are like £1) to get some deliberate vignetting.
I quite like the result - it's definitely the best shot I've taken with that particular lens - though that's probably not saying much!
