I’ll give that a rip.

Will just have to make sure that I switch to Av instead of TAv, so I don’t end up with polar bears in snowstorms...

If I participate, May will be a month of manual settings and lenses. AF and Av have given me some bad habits.

How about Wide Open Wednesdays as an ongoing thing, like Selfies for Sara on the 21st?
Monochrome Mondays?
Starburst Sundays?
Anyone up for the Saturday Street Shots?

@Sandy - we are in “lockdown” for half of May at least - Street shooting will be tough for me. I would never be one to hold others back.

I am thinking 85/2. Not sure if I have done a month with that on FF.

I might be distracted by the 150-450 which I pick up Wednesday though. It’s a bit long / big for a month of shooting. I still have time to decide.

The DFA150-450 would be a perfect lockdown lens - street shooting from your home verandah

Until someone calls the cops....

I like these ideas too. I'll schedule in whatever the group wants.

I'm just spit-balling ideas. No need to take them seriously, let alone institutionalise them.

But then again, I like structure. And alliteration

You've met my neighbours then?

**pepperberry farm** · 04-26-2021, 06:52 PM

I have no idea what I would do if I didn't pick up a camera each and every day....

I have a couple of 3d printers and some ukuleles that call my name on a regular basis. Honestly, I have too many hobbies but I don't want to drop any of them.

Too restrictive as regular setup for me. I like to keep my options open and go with the flow.

I just have too little time and money for my hobbies. If I could drop work I'd be much better off, but still waiting for that lottery win...

Actually though, oughtn’t you be iterating ideas?
