At long last I have got round to setting out my ideas (OK, it was my wife's idea in the first place...) for the "Day in the Life of a Leica" thread.
The idea is extremely simple.
On a chosen day, and I am suggesting
January 1st 2007, anyone who cares to contribute should post an image onto the forum, in a thread that I shall set up specifically the day before.
As with everything in life, there should be some rules, and, in order to save the planet and have some fun at the same time, the suggestion was that the photographs should be taken
without the use of a mechanical means of transport. So, the shots should be taken wherever you happen to be or can get to without using a car, or other fuelled transport. If you can walk 30 miles from your place to get the shot, or cycle 100 miles, that's fine.
The shot
must have been taken on the day, otherwise it would just be an open thread.
The shots can be of anything you like, using any Leica camera/lens you like and any film or digital medium you like.
No prize, no entry fee, just a long thread with lots of pictures (if people contribute)
One shot per customer – just choose the best shot you take on the day.
This really is just a bit of fun to start the New Year off and no big deal. I know that many have already said that they are interested, so I think this could be a great opportunity to see what people get up to on one particular day. We could have all the seasons in one day, the aftermath of “the night before”, pictures from the top of mountains, at work, in your garden, absolutely anything. Who knows?
Any questions, other than “Why?”
The open thread for posting shots is here http://www.leica-camera-user.com/oth...tml#post130595
