april 2020

I know it's early, but since it's the last day, no harm in setting things up properly ... All in all, I think we've already made this one a win, so I'll give you a very recognisable symbol of that: btw. In true nerd fashion, I didn't arrange the dice *until* I head thrown the five sixes - it...

Second to last, and thus, a real one-off: 3^3-3^0=2^2+3^2+4^2 - a prime, even a twin prime, though this month without its twin ... singular, so to speak. Sorry, maths trivia and word play again, I'll save the last treat for tomorrow ;) M. P.S. The "nickel" thing was in fact "28" - the number...

Four weeks in - and frankly, not much else to say. Anyhow, I think someone will eventually spot the reference to "28" in this song: Must sleep ... M. EDIT: Had to replace the video - as much as I like "The Blues Brothers", the verse I was referring to is missing from the film.

3 cubed, and 3 more days to go. Time for a couple of nines (three, to be exact) ... See if you can spot all of them ... :) On a side note: The new 12-45mm is quite a good close-up lens; and taking a shot at 1/8s at f/8 was no problem with the E-M5 III. M.

When researching the date (I've not had any creative ideas beyond 2x13 - a new low), I came across the fact that it's the anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Well, what to make of that? All things considered, humanity got away with some pretty major slipups - apparently, we're...

Somewhat random, but I really quite like the song (and the guy's music in general); surprisingly authentic and well done. M.

24 04 20 20 04 24 Well, well, well. Quite the date for an .8 point of any challenge, don't you think 8-) M.

Long story short: M.

Fun trivia: In German, we call any number consisting of the same digits a "Schnapszahl" - a "liquor number", meaning that on encountering one, you have to raise your glass and drink to everyone's health.* What better time to do that! And since we missed 11, better make that two rounds ... M...

I give you - 20 ... Enjoy :cool: M.

(Apologies, this time I'm *really* late ...) As promised, I reuse Ad's wonderful image from day 17; especially since I found out that my own, incredably crappy 135mm f/3.5 Xenar (a bellows lens for my Pentacon Six TL that someone loved so much they "cleaned" off good part of the coating; it's...

60% done - and for most of us on this side of the pond, coming of age when taken in years ;) M.

Enjoy :) M.

Silly number story: The 16th day is the two-gather day: The highest power of two in any given month ... And: Pun obviously intended. Let's tackle this. (Sorry, made that one up, but liked it too much to let it pass :-p) M.

This is the half-way point - it's been a very rewarding journey so far, let's keep up that spirit! M.

We've reached two full weeks - only one day left to our half-way point :) M.

Don't give bad luck a chance ;) M.

Happy Easter, everyone! M.

Once is eleven ... M. (Pun intended - sorry for the silliness ...)

Here comes the first milestone - a third of the way; we're cruising, let's enjoy this :) M.

"We're only human, after all." (Rag'n'Bone Man) - just popped up in my impromptu playlist ... one of those coincidences ... Let's have your vision of your world! M.

Tomorrow is today (The Gorillaz) M.

Must-not-get-distracted-and-fumble-it-again ... (hissed through gritted teeth) Just joking - looking forward to your images while Easter draws nearer :) M.

With apologies to Matt for starting the thread.... I did my shot hours ago and have been waiting for a thread starter...

First Sunday coming up - I hope you all find some way to relax. And if the season offers you opportunities, don't miss them. M.

Okay, this is the latest I'll do this (and I'll think of a new type of commentary, too ...) ;) M.

After yesterday's early posting, I feel like being late on this one ;) M.

For our friends downunder: The thread is ready for your just-past-midnight shots ;) M.

This is the place where you can put the images you decided not to post in the daily threads. Don't let good things go to waste! M.

If you want to chat about the April 2020 Challenge, this is the place to do so. I'd also love to know how you're getting on and what helps and what doesn't so that we can all make things as smooth and rewarding as possible. M.

Okay, here it starts ... Let's see your images :2thumbs: M.

Ladies and gentlemen, Cameraderie presents the April 2020 Challenge. We're doing it! We're going to gift each other with our best daily images for a whole month. But please, remember that these are trying times; we all have to handle the situation as well as we possibly can. For that reason...
