Let's run a month-long challenge this November... We had lots of fun two years ago.

Grab a 35 on DX or a 50 on FX and play along!

 

If you don't have a normal prime, just lock your normal zoom to a relevant focal length with some vinyl electrician's tape or gaffer tape and get out and shoot.

 

Here is a link to the previous normalvember thread, two years ago.

 

I will use lenses spanning from a plastic Holga lens to classics like the AI 50/1.2, and even some adapted lenses in other mounts, like an M42 Takumar 55/1.8 and maybe some Rokkor normals if I can find them... I haven't seen them after the move two years ago, the same goes for some Canon FD lenses.

Nikon 50mm /1.8 is at the ready.

I'm in. I have a lot of "Normal" range lenses, starting from 1932 and moving forward. Nikon- from 1948 and up to the 50/1.8 AF-S that came on the Df.

Normal Range- from the 45/2.8 GN-Nikkor to the 5.8cm F1.4 Nikkor-S. Glad I have the Df, can take all of these.

 

This will be a "grab-shot" on a walk, November is going to be busy.

I won't be participating because I don't have this focal length covered. But I look forward to everyones entry this Nov.

Normalvember starts tomorrow!

Dusk, on the way home.

No noise reduction as I didn't find it objectionable in spite of the high ISO.

Bus shelter ad.

 

My dad was a 'foundling' & was bought up by a Dr Barnardo's Home in Wallington near Croydon, in the South East.

We think one of his parents were of Spanish origin. My skin is that which doesn't burn in the sun. Perfect during holidays.

Only one photo today. The looming rain started 20 minutes later.

The fact that the lens is Ai'd doesn't matter on the FTZ. This one is, though and works on all my Nikon bodies.

Gloomy Tuesday through the window.

It's a window on the back of the property, so we'll it 'Rear Window' (sorry Hitch).
