Discussion / idle chat thread (2022) Week 52 Showcase

Stick with it son, a lot of people rely on you and this challenge :):):)
I don't care was in relation to people doing their own thing, with regards to this current technique.

Although there have been other times, that have made me wonder why I bother..
 
We are all glad you do bother.
Well most of you anyway :)

What I've learned over many years here, some people just have to moan or argue,
what ever the (sub)forum or subject matter.

Well there are more important things in life.
The problem is of course as a mod, and latterly co-owner,
I do see things differently to most people.
It was a bit of an eye opener when I was first bought on as a mod.

And of course it is quite an important part of my life now I co-own TP.
Keeping the peace, making sure that things are running smoothly.

And Thank You and @sirch for doing what at times must be a hard job. Nearly forgot @lindsay.

Chances of me getting a sunrise or sunset up here in Scotland is out the window. Forecast is pants for the next few days. However I aim to be up before the crack of dawn tomorrow to see what I get....................

Same here - not much prospect of a sunset here. It may have to be a re-edit.

Same here - life and the weather are against me this week, so I've dived into my archive (well, it's my 52 after all said and done anyway ;) ). Hopefully I've done the tech correctly too :).

Why did that man say he climbed Everest? Because it's there...

Although your job here might be more tiring :D

Well I for one am very glad that you do the 52, god knows where I would start to even set it up like you have and do. A great job you do.

I guess there is no point mentioning that are 7 days in a weekly challenge,
but now there are only 2 left? that is today and tomorrow

People have died climbing Everest :p

Correct, but whilst the weather was favourable my life took over and, now I have the time, a blanket of low cloud has taken over. I still have other fairly important and time consuming 'life stuff' to deal with so even if that low cloud does transform to high cloud I just won't get a shot.

It would be lovely if my life were that perfect that I could spend the time to follow each theme exactly but, i'm afraid, it just isn't - i'm doing the best I can ;)

Of course family first and all that, it was rather tongue in cheek ( see my signature for details :D )
 
I am still hopeful of a sunset shot but it may include footballers as I am shooting matches tonight and tomorrow :D I have had some lovely sunsets during matches before.

Failing that I will be thinking laterally on Thursday morning.... time to get creative??

There is no hurry on the tech by the way peeps - we have weeks left.
 
Now if this theme and tech had been around in 2015, I could have used this one to fill the brief (although I do think I used it as a joker one week couple of years ago) as it's both monochrome AND a sunset.

I managed to get something last night, but for those of you struggling, some of my fall back ideas were songs lyrics that included sunrise or sunset... Sunset Boulevard, Tequila Sunrise (the drink also!). Steely Dan, Rolf Harris spring to mind. Coldplay, Waterloo Sunset by the Kinks, Could possibly include album covers, or lyric sheets. Also pictures including tide tables/weather, where these times are mentioned. Not great I know, but would be on theme.

Some great ideas there! I managed a shot last night. Wasn't what I had in my head but I'm not in charge of the clouds lol.

Those clouds... they never do what you want do they? :ROFLMAO: We have had overcast skies nearly all week, so I did think I'd have to get creative.... but no, managed a boring old shot in time :)
 
Well in all my excitement of getting a sunset shot I nearly forgot...

IT'S THEME EEEEEEEVE AGAIN!!!!!!

Last day to get yer Sunrise / Sunset shots in ye olde bag!

:banana: :naughty: :banana:
 
For a minute I thought you were calling me an old bag :LOL:
TBH I thought he meant me, I was just thinking up some suitable punishment :D
 
Sorry to hear that Dave I hope you get clearer answers soon. Make sure you look after yourself (y)
 
Week 19.

I'm sure I'll get a few complaints about this one.
But before you do, try using a thesaurus or thinking laterally.
Just be a Sport(s) and play the game :)
 
WoooHoooo (I think) an easy one :)
 
Balls!
 
This is still mono, yes?
There is one tech for every 6 weeks (I think it is). You only have to do the tech for one of the 6 themes, so just once. I'm sure there will be no complaints if you want to do it more than once, but it only counts once.

Edit: Did I use the word once enough in this post? Really once would have been enough :ROFLMAO:

I think for once you got it just right :D
 
My comments are going to be few and far between as the hospital gave me a totally different answers yesterday than my GP had told me, I will slowly plod on though.
Sorry to hear that Dave, but try and keep positive. The outcome may not be as bad as you fear and worrying won't help. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

As bebop say's, you only need to do it once :D, but actually it's one every 2 calendar months, so 6 per year.

Thanks Bebop, but melanoma is what I have been told so I have a few appointments coming up this month to take out some of the moles then we slowly go from there. Back off to bed now.
