Last night in Palma, the attendees voted on the location for the next Challenge and it was agreed that Edinburgh would be the location. 

Having been one of the two locations tied for first place when voting was done in Nice, this seems an equitable and excellent choice. 
 

The Challenge will be on Saturday 17th October, with details to follow, of course. 

 

Thanks!

Mmmm, whereas in the south wine is the water of life, I know that up north it aint. So, for sure I can announce that this challenge I won’t be funding some 🍷

However, this will leaves us the option for some uisge beatha. Guess I didn’t drink this since i came to Croatia…

Andy,

Can you please explain this One Challenge. I did a search but came up empty.   What's the purpose? How long does this go on? One day, two, three...... What is done on and/or during this One Challenge? 

Thanks, Steve

Hi @DenverSteve

The LeicaOne challenge has been going on for more than 20 years now - basically an informal get together in a different place each year, with a 2 hour 'One Challenge' on the Saturday afternoon. During this time, participants announce their chosen camera, focal length and film (if shooting analog) and then have 2 hours to take a maximum of 36 photos, after which one will be submitted to be judged by other forum members. I've pasted the link below for the Palma One Challenge which took place this last weekend. This explains the challenge in more detail

There's also a section on the forum where you can review previous challenge entries, although the events for the past couple of years haven't been moved here (yet)

Wonderful, the 17th October next year will be our 56th Wedding Anniversary so having the Challenge on that date will save me the cost of a celebratory dinner. Good decision Andy.
