Your Photo of the Week

[Tim Mayo]

Did you take a photo that you really like in the last week? If so, please do share it here.

Also, if you'd like to challenge yourself you could post a photo each week for 52 weeks, yep that's a whole year! Just comment before your photo which week you are on.

This thread did start out life as a 52 week challenge, but after some discussions with members here renaming it simply to: "Photo of the Week" made more sense, but leaving the option for members to continue or start fresh with a personal 52 week challenge if desired.

A big thank you to everyone who contributes here!

This one might be much better for me! I'm out most weekends. Week 1. Stonechat at Seaford Head today.

I'm going to start at the absolute beginning.
Week 0, New Years Eve, watching the sunset and escorting 2020 out of the establishment

Week 1/52: Scotch Bonnet Peppers. These little bundles of heat are named after their oft resemblance to the Scottish Tam (ie: tam/hat/bonnet) as you'll see in my overexposed first pic. Side note, I suck at using the little flash that comes with the a6400. The second picture shows the vibrant orange that my variety gets to when ripe, though these peppers can also be red or yellow when ripe.

Week 2. Black Redstart at Seaford Head last Sunday. Simply one of the best bird images I've ever taken, and a rare bird too. Great start to the year.

I'm a little late but I'm delighted to see this challenge!!! I have already begun my 2021 52 Weeks challenge, so will pop in an image from the first week and will probably add an image each week on Sundays, as that is when I usually finish up the week and review what I've shot.

Week 1:

• ILCE-7RM4
• FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS
• 90.0 mm
• ƒ/9
• 1/80 sec

Week 3! Just about managed to get some shots in this week by going to the local pond in the nice sunny weather today. Worth the trip, as the Continental (Sinensis) Cormorant has come into to breeding plumage and looks magnificent.

Week 2/52: a back-lit Abby on the windowsill, one of her favorite spots, but so hard to expose correctly!

 

[FowlersFreeTime]

Posting early for a change. Took this while making thumbnails for this weekend's video. I don't love it, but its what I got to work with this week
Week 3/52 - Dinner - Jerk Pork with Rice & Peas (tastes way better than it looks!)

Week 2: Sad news today about Hank Aaron. Alas, I don't have a Hank Aaron bobblehead. Instead, as a commemoration, here's another Atlanta great. RIP Hank.

Week 5/52: I have seen this panning technique before and wanted to try my hand at it. So this was taken (freehand) last time I was at the beach. I don't think I quite have the hang of it yet...

I'm keen to get some feedback from you knowledgeable folks

Week 4. Brought some things to our son at school and stumbled on this. Wish I’d had the A7C with me.
