Hi all, you may know that I have agreed to take over the running of this challenge thread from @Gav., I will run it exactly as Gav did starting on Thursday 1st Jan. I will draw a random letter from a hat each fortnight and put it up in the image thread every other Thursday through the year (no letter will go back in the hat).

Want to try a light hearted challenge??


Rules (there have to be some).


Every fortnight a new letter of the Alphabet is picked, your challenge is to find a theme that starts with that letter, and capture an image to show your concept, images are to be taken and posted in the same fortnight as the theme.

There will be no poll, the image thread will roll on throughout the year.

Feel free to dip in and out, no need to complete everything.

No gear or editing restrictions, be as creative as you like, but no AI please.

Images - 1 per Fortnight/Letter, but if you want to make a weekly challenge from it, you can share 2 images (one each week).

Letter of the Fortnight will be in the Title bar and a message in the image thread.

No catch up images once the letter has changed please.

New theme day is Thursday, (every other week).

This is just the image thread, the chat thread is here; https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/alphabet-challenge-2026.772072/#post-9683270 .

Fireworks, a bit obvious after last night celebrations but hopefully Paul will be good natured enough to allow two to be squeaked in as required.

Clive, it's nice you are looking to contribute , but, your Flikr data shows this was taken in April 2025. Can I ask you to please check the rules of this challenge, the shot is supposed to be taken in the 2 weeks that the theme letter runs.

Sorry. I hadn't realised.
 
Following my cock-up last week when I got the rules mixed up with the new old digital challenge I went in search of a fresh P. And here it is: P is for Points Lever. Taken with my Lumix DSC-1 and an old CZ Planar 50/f1.7.
