It's the last day to submit. Last call!

It's the last day to submit. Last call!

Already February here.....

 

[MattKing]

Madly spotting some scans, as we speak!

 

[MattKing]

Okay, the first one. It is new, it is on TMY and I used my OM-2n with the neat little 35-70 Zuiko.
"Swoop 1"

 

[Don_ih]

I gotta say, Matt, the light is hitting that fence in a spectacular way. Good job reigning it in.

 

[logan2z]

OK, I'm going to squeeze one more in under the wire. An older one...

 

[MattKing]

Thanks Don for the comment.
And another one. Same TMY and OM-2n.
"If you Zig, then I should ...."

 

[MattKing]

And a couple more - same details.
"No Dogs or People":

plus a bit of detail from that last one to help make it understandable:


"Cable" - to make it clear that fences can be made of just about anything


I've got at least one more to come (I hope).

 

[MattKing]

And finally, the last one. Same details.
"Shadows and Fences"



All the ones I've uploaded today were taken on the same day - January 10, 2023 - on the same walk from my home, on the same roll of film. I was on a MSA mission!

I was too, but did not manage to fill my roll

Ok, folks. So there were a lot of excellent photos to choose from. So it wasn't easy. I really liked the submissions by @markjwyatt and @Mick Fagan and @MattKing. I liked @Ivo Stunga's photo a lot. I think @KitosLAB takes the award for most significant, historically and culturally. I liked the tonality of @Roger Thoms and @GregY 's contributions.

I think, however, I'm going to give it to @logan2z for a consistency of vision, especially exhibited by all the cars behind fences in many of his contributions. And there's just something about that photo of the billboard towering above that fenced in van (the barbed wire makes it hard for the van to escape) that I personally like.

So, there you go! Enjoy the rest of winter.

 

[logan2z]

Wow, thanks @Don Heisz. I didn't expect that, but I'm truly honored!

I guess it's my turn to pick the MSA theme for Feb. I'll post a new thread ASAP.

 

[Don_ih]

I didn't expect that

It was truly a difficult decision. But I think you deserve it.

 

[logan2z]

It was truly a difficult decision. But I think you deserve it.

Thanks again, much appreciated.

So, there you go! Enjoy the rest of winter.

Will do, except I need to wait until June before it even starts!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Don_ih]

Yes yes, pretend you actually get winter....

Lol, shot this for this MSA, but didn’t finish the roll in time.

That's ok. I keep seeing interesting-looking fences whenever I'm driving and think, "Oh, I should stop."

I keep going.

Nice one! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that doesn't finish the rolls on time I'm determined to finish the one for this month, though!
