Thank you to everyone who took part in last month's 178th Barnack's Monthly theme, which was filled with nearly 1,500 pictures, excellent ideas and interpretations of the theme.   Also, thank you to everyone who helped to make it another successful month by generously posting their pictures and in particular to those people who posted for the first time - I hope you found it an interesting and rewarding experience and I hope it encourages you to share more of your pictures with us!

Thank you all so much for contributing by very kindly sharing your photos because it's you who keep Barnack's Monthly going.  Without your pictures there could be no Barnack's Monthly.

The 179th Barnack's Monthly theme, for August 2023, is:

 Blue.

This month's theme is any picture that contains something blue or the word "blue".  (For clarity, a picture of a band playing 'the blues' does not qualify unless the word blues, for example in the band's name, is included.)

For example, it could be the Blue Man Group, Linda Ronstadt's Blue Bayou record cover, the Blues Brothers, a sapphire, a blue car, a blue dress, blue suede shoes, a bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin, a blue moon, a blue building, a blue hat, cobalt, a blue suit, Deep Blue, the sky, the sea, Blue Gum trees, a blue-ringed octopus, blue Christmas wrapping paper, blue taffeta, blue stones in a finger-ring, a 'blue' Doberman-Pinscher, a blue fur-seal, a blue chair, a street sign for Blue Street, blue cheese, blueberries, a blue kite, a blue plane, a blue boat, blue fingernails, blue earrings, a blueberry pie, Little Boy Blue - it's entirely your choice so let your imagination run free!   

It would be a big help if you give your picture a title to help us understand your point of view. Members have asked if we'd very kindly name the camera and lens used because it's interesting to know.

The rules are deliberately loose so go out and shoot with this month's theme in mind or start searching back through those pictures you took oh-so long ago that you'd forgotten about and start posting! It doesn't have to be your best ever shot and it's not a competition so you might surprise the rest of us and yourself - it's just about sharing some pictures, seeing others' take on the topic, and enjoying it!

Everybody's welcome to contribute, any interpretation, any number of posts (but to avoid swamping the thread would you very kindly please post no more than ten pictures at a time), pictures that have been posted on the forum before are fine, and any equipment as long as it complies with the forum's rules (either camera or lens or both made by Leica or the Leica-Sigma-Panasonic "L-Mount" Partnership). Please post freely - especially newcomers and please remember there's no judging or criticism (good or bad) in this threadSo, if you'd like to show your acknowledgement or appreciation that someone has posted their picture then instead of posting a comment please use the "Thanks" button that you can find at the bottom right of every post.

Please post away and I look forward to seeing your interesting interpretations of this month's theme.

Note: Moderator Pop has very kindly assembled links to all of the past Barnack's Monthly threads as a single archive that can be found here: Barnack's Monthly Index.  Thank you, Pop!
 
Pete.
