I suddenly got an idea today.

Let's make August "Normal prime month"

My One lens... challenge is a nice format as it makes some of us go out and shoot more. As most of us have either a 35 for DX or a 50 for FX, why not participate in the One week... challenges with those lenses this month? It will be an added bonus that we get to see your environment through your lens and artistic vision. I am looking forward to seeing more of you take part in the challenges.

 

To the newer members, we all participate at our own level, nobody compares the submissions to another as we all have different backgrounds.

Great idea, Peter. I always say I will try but am rarely able to follow through. However, I haven't used my 50 for ages, and it would make my camera much lighter and easier to carry around, which may help. I also just hit a major milestone at work, which I hope means I can ease up on some of the extra hours I was working, so I will *try* to participate in the One week... challenges this month. :)

i started today, D750, 50mm, 1.4

I will try to do all in b/w and hopefully showcase my city and its surroundings.

 

Now that the daytime temps are in the low 100f it is a bit easier to stay outdoors for more than a few minutes.

Going to try, though mine will be a 50mm on a DX. Free time has been an idea the last couple weeks, haven't been able to shoot much at all.

If things work out I may submit some stuff shot on film with a Minolta MC Rokkor X 50mm f/1.4 mounted on my N90s. No promises tho.
