farnz Posted January 1 Share #1 Posted January 1 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you to everyone who took part in last month's 195th Barnack's Monthly theme, which was filled with more than 1,200 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 196th Barnack's Monthly theme, for January 2025, is: Water, Ice, Snow, or Steam. This month's theme is any picture that contains water in any of its forms, or "water", "ice", "snow", or "steam" written as a word or part of a word. For example, it could be the sign above an ice cream shop, a steam bath, an ice bath, a snow man, water lilies, water on the knee, de-icing, cake icing, an ice rink, snowfall, snow shoes, snow skis, a poster advertising a holiday in the snow, a steam engine, steaming vegetables, steam rising from an athlete's body, an advert for Bob's Team, A sign on the Vice Squad door, a steam iron, an ice pick, an ice tray, an ice sculpture, a paddle-steamer, a lake, the sea, the ocean, a river, rain, hailstones, ice-skates, water colours, a steaming cup of coffee, whisky on the rocks, a snow storm, a puddle, a waterfall - 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 and no more than 20 pictures per day), 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 thread. So, 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

m410 Posted January 1 Share #20 Posted January 1 18 minutes ago, Alberti said: must be snow on a white background (sorry no picture yet ... 😁) but I see no reference to the instruction of "Seaah . . written as a word or part of a word" that so much confused me after Peter wrote that. Thank you, I added my image a few minutes later when I saw a problem. Peters instructions include "... a lake, the sea, the ocean, a river, rain etc" so I think images of the Atlantic or other large bodies of water will be good for this months subject. Btw, thanks Peter for doing these monthly subjects. Great fun and education for all of us. David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
