Welcome to Salon #21. This time around I have chosen an abstract concept for you to illustrate; "RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS". Interpret and present it as you see fit. I'm looking for people shots predominantly, but I'm prepared to be surprised - I know how creative everyone is. You could focus...

Hi folks, here we have the final one for SiJy 2019, it's been an amazing experience for me. Let's see your photos. Here's mine, I realised after I came home to process the photo when I took a look at the details, that this street rehearsal was probably for their Army Day (1st Aug.) performance...

Hi folks, tomorrow we will have the final SiJy 2019 thread, hope you're saving the best for the last. Here's my picked one today.

Hi folks, Day 29. Many of us now, me included, are living in such a weather that's not helpful for anything, I thought I'd not be able to shoot anything outdoor today but decided I could at least do "minimal shooting, maximum post processing". So here it is, clearly overdone.

Hi folks, Day 28, only three more days to go, let's see your photos. My friend's 2 years old son loves to pose while eating blueberry, he checks his photos after I took them.

Hi folks, Day 27, I'm proud to share my work today, messy and lazy, taking a photo of the photos I took along with the tools used to create them, what a nice loop, didn't even bother cleaning the desk. Anyway, it's got context, here it is, didn't even edit the raw.

Hi folks, Day 26 thread here, let's see your photos. Very hazy today and I took three shots to make a panorama, faked the sun and reflections, hope tomorrow can get a better weather.

Hi folks, post your photos to the 25th. This is mine, I spent too much time on this one and wasn't really sure how to get it right, so here it is.

Hi folks, Day 24, we are almost there. Here's mine, I find it easier to take photos NOT during the day.:D

Hi folks, your photos please!

Hi Folks, hope you've all enjoyed a nice weekend. I took this one with my M50 and 32 prime when I was doing some interval shooting with the 40D. Update: here's the link to the final result of the 40D shot.

Hi Folks, 10 more days to go. Here's mine today.

Hi folks, post your chosen ones and have a great weekend. Here's mine, this is a place I've always wanted to photograph and I hope this time it works.

Hi folks, let's see your photos for Day 19. I'll start with mine, too tired today to be any more creative than this, a last minute snap.

Hi folks, Day 18 thread here, I'll start with mine. This is my third attempt following the last two days, hope it's getting better. I learned the potato dish from a YouTube video last night, and it definitely doesn't taste any worse than the photo shows.

Hi folks it's Day 17, let's see your photos. i tried yesterday's genre the 2nd time and it's with my M50 and 32 prime.

Hi folks hope you're all doing great. My challenge today has gone a little unexpected. Originally I shot something (boring) with the M50 and 32 prime that I'll share later in the outtakes thread, and then this video got my attention and had been my source of inspiration for my challenge today...

Hi folks, we have reached the 15th. It's been challenging for me but fun, let's see what you've got. Here's mine, it's been raining here today and I had nowhere to go, luckily my willing model insisted we take a few shots and after some tweaking, here's how it looks.

Hi Folks, Day 14. Sorry I had to shoot today's photo with the camera that was available to me, my phone, however with the square mode I was shooting in it's a similar FOV to the standard prime I chose for the challenge. OK, enough excuses, here it is, edited with LR on Android.

Hi folks, another weekend has come, hope we all get good ones to show. Here's mine, I have a few others that I've worked on harder to get right however this one takes more luck to get, and also looks more interesting to me. I had to do some perspective correction which doesn't look too obvious...

Hi Folks, here's the Day 12 thread, I know I'm not the one to judge but I can definitely see the photos getting better, keep them coming. Mine today, for a few days already I've been editing raw files on Lightroom for Android, quite usable. I missed focus on this one, was originally aiming at...

Hi folks, 20 more days to go, I'm not bored with the gear of choice fortunately. Let's see your lovely photos. Mine today has to be cropped a lot.

Hi folks, Day 10 is here, let's see your photos. Here's mine, I call it the "tree house". Edited with LR on Android, then synced and exported to the desktop, I hope the colour isn't too far off.

Hi folks, it's the ninth day, and 9 is 3 times the charm! Here's mine, Nino always brings me happiness no matter what happens in the day.

Hi folks, it's the first day in the second week, hope you're all doing very well. My photo today is heavily post processed, shot with my M50 and 32 1.4 at f/5.0, this lens can focus really close, a versatile choice for the challenge. I took my computer apart to clean dusts and this is the...

Hi Folks, sorry I have to post the Day 7 thread a lot earlier than usual since I'm occupied later today, take your time and have fun. As part of my weekly routine, I get lazy on the weekend and that means minimal efforts spent on shooting, and lots more post processing. This is what I've got...

Hi folks, Day 6 is here. I'm posting on the go as it seems suitable for my photo story today. Photo shot with M50 32 1.4, camera JPG. 2019 is in my opinion, the year that our "post-internet" lifestyle matured. Motorbike delivery diversified, meal, fresh, flowers, medicine, grocery or even...

Hi folks, it's the fifth in a row, thanks to Matt we now have two spin-off threads one for discussion and the other you can post your silver and bronze ones to. Have fun. Here's mine, with the originally planned M50+32mm 1.4. With limitations comes my action to work on my years old to-do list...

No pressure. I'm using a theme that I'm very comfortable with. Plus I don't have to go any farther than my basement workshop. :D

Hi folks, the 4th thread is here, anyone feeling the pressure? I can't do without dogs or changing lenses. Here's mine, falling back into my comfort zone fast. Shot with the 40D and EF 85mm 1.8 USM lens.

I'll mostly post images I actually considered using as daily picks. Day 1: Day 2: M.

Hi folks I'm doing this a little earlier than usual today, please take your time. Here's mine. 3 days, 3 lenses, this one's shot with the 40D and 24mm 2.8 STM lens, I cloned out other people to bring emphasis to the remaining.

Hi challengers, I know many of you are still enjoying your bright sunny July 1st, I'm posting the Day 2 challenge and as always, you make it shine. Here's mine. My original plan for another product photography didn't work, but I'm having great fun with the 12 years old Canon 40D. This one's...

Hi folks, this is the first SiJy 2019 image thread, I'll start a thread every night for the next day till the end of July. Here's my first photo for SiJy 2019, taken today. I wanted to try doing some product photography over a year ago and this is my first try, apparently flawed in many ways...

For challenge 18 the topic is Self. Interpret the topic it in any way that portrays your sense of self. The challenge will run until approx. July 14th. And the rules, as always, are: 1. Either take pictures that match the nominated theme or select some from your portfolio. You must be the...

It's that time of year again ... A while ago we agreed on trying the "Single in" challenges at different times during the year, adopting a nine-month cycle as an attempt to break away from recurring subject matter. This time, we're hitting summer in the northern hemisphere and mid-winter in the...

To keep this series going we are moving ahead with a new challenge. Since the winner from the last challenge has not started a new one, @Luke suggested that I move us on with a new topic. For challenge 17 the topic is Contrast. It could be technical contrast or perhaps some subject matter that...

Most of us know or have heard of the quote by Arthur Fellig - the famous and infamous crime reporter and photojournalist who was better known as 'Weegee' - who, when asked how he was able to come up with such amazing photographs, replied, simply: f/8 and be there. As photographers, our brains...

This time, let’s see your interpretations of “Gold”. The challenge ends on Friday 11th of January 2019, so there is plenty of time for Christmas festivities as well. The rules as usual: 1. Either take pictures that match the nominated theme or select some from your portfolio. You must be the...

I would like to set this final challenge for 2017 as "Panorama". Panoramic photography has been an interest of mine for many years and I've spent $$$$$ on hardware and software over that time. Today the ability to stitch images into a panorama is quite ubiquitous and is built into software...

After a week strolling on the beaches of North Cornwall, I returned home to find that the cold water tank in the attic had leaked and brought down part of the bathroom ceiling... so I figured a watery theme was apposite. Let’s see either literal or figurative interpretations. The rules: The...

I quote the rules as per Luke's last challenge: I couldn't put it any better (including the last sentence :cool:), so here goes: M.
