Every week we select a new theme, and then go out and shoot that theme. This week the theme is Fixed Lens. As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.


So the subject is the Photographers Choice, but I'd like you to use a fixed lens. So if you only have DSLR's, use your cell phone...



Here are the rules:
1. Shots need to be taken between Tuesday, after the new theme is posted and the following Monday by sunset (Whenever that is for you). Because this activity is supposed to encourage us to get out and shoot, please don't post old shots from your archives.
2. Snapshots and art are equally welcome -- just get out & shoot, and then share!
3. Post your shots at any time during the week.
4. Post a maximum of two shots if you're uploading them to POTN (i.e., attaching them). You can post more than two if you're linking to shots that are not hosted by POTN (i.e. embedding them) but keep within POTN rules. Also keep within POTN rules about size. A copy of the size rules can be found here: IMAGE POSTING RULES
That's it! Have fun! As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.
An index to previous weeks can be found here: POTN WORLDWIDE PHOTO WEEK INDEX

That's it!
Have fun!

This is so easy! I always use a fixed lens. Shots taken today before I even knew the topic:

Thanks for thinking of me. I'm near some flight paths for jets and helicopters, but I wasn't ready at the right times. The weather, cool and cloudy and sometimes wet, didn't favor flying insects. Birds–well, other cameras and other people do it much better.

Dusted off these Canon fixed-lens today for their portraits. They were fine companions in their day. IS, great optical zooms, fully-articulating screens. And they all work still. (Interesting fact: the Pro1 has an L lens, red ring and all.):-)

Taken with my most recent pocket fixed lens.

This is a fixed lens. It was terribly de-centered and I took it apart and fixed it.

I found this beautiful spider on me after coming inside from the yard. Adult male, 2 mm long or less; you'd need a real macro lens to do him justice. This image is drastically cropped and not downsized.

One of the few remaining buildings of old, the Auckland Ferry Building seen while parked in traffic:

Construction and typing paper close up with the SX50 macro mode.

That's a magnificent building, very dignified. It reminds me somewhat of the locally familiar one in San Francisco.

The SX50 sure does better macro than the G15. I wouldn't have posted my spider on POTN except that it's fixed-lens week and the photo shows how limiting the macro setting is.

Thanks Oh. Your spider against a different background would look much better. Don't you just hate it when your subjects do not cooperate? :-)
