NF-SOOC-2018 -1

I am going to try and do Richard's NF-SOOC September 2018.
I am not sure I really know what I am doing - you may be saying does she ever hahaha
Anyway - I have my 18-55mm kit lens which I set to 35mm for this image as I have a crop frame camera. This is the jpeg and the only thing I did was convert to b&w. I do have an older 50mm lens from a Nikon SLR my dad left me. I was thinking of using this as the prime lens for this challenge even though I have a crop frame. Thoughts?

I totally don't get the crop frame thing and @ vignouse has tried to explain. I just am not good at the technical side. This is really lovely.

@joansmor thank you Joan - technical is a struggle for me :)

Last year I set me lens to 35mm this year I have a 50mm one. I think the challenge is to stick to one number ( focal length???) for the month and no fixing blobs, blurs or wonkyness. It was fun last year, as reminded me of cameras of my childhood and adolescence, which had a fixed lens ( and number of photos to take!!)

You've managed a great floral abstract here!!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond thanks Jackie....I am considering doing it with the 50mm...it's a lovely little lens...

[Lou Ann]

A lovely B&W, no technical knowledge on this end, smile.

[Diana]

I am useless on the technical side, I either like a photo or not. I really like this one, although I would prefer to see it in colour ;-)

[Taffy]

Stunning white on white!

[Hazel]

This look beautiful viewed large! (I would probably prefer to use my 50mm lens but asIi have an APS-C camera (a6000) I am sticking to the spirit of the challenge and using my 30mm lens which is the closest to 50mm on a full frame camera.)

Looks beautiful viewed on black.

[Lynda]

The textures and subtle tones work well. You are off to a great start.

[Tina]

Why not try the 50 mm, It is close to challenge, this is lovely even your commend

[Walks @ 7]

A most wonderful study of white and gentleness. I like this challenge since it makes me compose in camera rather than with post edits.

[haskar]

Great work with focus and shape. Not so long ago, in the slide era, we were just taking photos.

[Annie D]

@ludwigsdiana thanks Diana - they're white flowers so colour isn't that exciting 😊

[Phil Howcroft]

ooooh what a lovely SOOC annie

[Jacqueline]

Lovely orchids!

Hi Annie, i’m your get-pushed partner this week, I’m in awe to see what you’ve already done! For your challenge I would like you to make a b&w of a rural landscape with a splash of colour!

[Annie D]

@jacqbb I would love to try this but it will depend on if I can get to a rural area :)

[Jacqueline]

@annied If it is not possible a park is good too!

[Annie D]

@jacqbb ha ha okay :)

[Marnie]

35mm on a crop-frame camera is pretty much a 50mm on a full-frame Annie. Go for it. I'm using a 35mm for this challenge.
