Thematic May - Flowers and Nature ( Fall Colors for those in the southern hemisphere )

I'm helping out Christian Rock's challenge - The 2020 Monthly Challenge - Page 3 - PentaxForums.com

Originally posted by ChristianRock

Should you accept this challenge, you will have to make an attempt to do some shooting in the month's theme. Being monthly, you could do this alongside other photography projects. Or you could decide to just do the theme for an entire month and nothing else! As long as you commit to posting your best shot of the theme to the monthly thread which I'll create in the Mini-Challenges sub-forum.

Any cameras and lenses allowed. Shoot whatever you want. There will be no judging so no pressure. Just post and comment on your learning experience if you want.

Extra bonus bragging rights if you commit to taking a picture daily in the theme!

Who's in?

Thanks for putting this thread up, Allen

Since the last two didn't have much participation I was going to drop it but it's good that at least someone was passionate enough to say "we need to continue this!"

I'll make sure to take some pictures as walking outside is not outlawed by the quarantine (as long as you stay away from other folks...)

I'll update the yearly thread.

Glad this is still going! - I had to sit out March thanks to busyness, and April because I don't have a flash (and my results with the onboard, even diffused, were not pleasing to me).

But I can do flowers.

M200 at, I think, f/4 (newly-acquired, still 'learning' it).

I've been very busy the last two months, and frankly flash is not my thing either, still busy, but it's sowing down. This is a magnolia ready to bloom, correction, these are just new leaves:
