It appears your photo was taken before this week’s challenge!
You can only submit a photo that was taken during the week of the challenge. This is the one rule that unites our entire community.
Welcome to the tribe!!
If it applies to you, cast your mind back to the days of film, when you'd eagerly slot in a brand new Roll Of 24 into your camera and started taking shots. We're trying to recreate that with this week's challenge. You have a maximum of 24 frames to shoot and choose this week's submission from those 24 shots alone !
Feel free to pick and choose any theme, genre or subject you'd like. Your only restriction is that you have a maximum of 24 shots - if you subscribe to the spray-and-pray method of getting well-focused images or freezing motion, just bear in mind, you've only got 24 chances at most (remember, most modern cameras capture multiple frames per second when the shutter's held down).
This is a chance to channel the film photographers of a more analog photo world. Take your time to study your scene or plan it very carefully. Remember to check the background and the edges of your frame and know what is the direction and quality of your light source. Only press the shutter once you are 100% convinced that the frame in your viewfinder is the perfect photo.
TIPS:
- Be Patient: Take YOUR time. Act as though every single frame that you take, will cost you money.
- Be Prepared: Scout out the potential areas before your shoot. Look where your light is coming from and decide where your subject will stand.
- Keep Count: You are not allowed to take any ‘test’ photos, unless of course they are part of your roll of available frames.
- Use Post-Processing: Unlike the old film days, most of us have very capable tools of software editing and post-processing. Use them as you see fit. This is NOT a SOOC (Straight Out Of Camera) challenge, after all.

Think the Main Challenge alone ain't worthy enough of your photog skillz? Sweet - try adding the EXTRA challenge along with the Main Challenge to showcase your abilities.
This week, we'd like to see your submission taken with the very first click of the week. Just ONE CLICK - no mulligans or second chances if you want the EC.
Do remember, the EC is neither mandatory nor does it enhance your odds of being picked for any 52F honors. It's just an EXTRA challenge for you, if that's something you want to take on in addition to the Main Challenge. We intentionally design the Extra Challenge to be difficult for most, so only take this on if you are looking for an EXTRA challenge. Get it? It's extra. ?

Remember, you are only submitting ONE photo per week. It is not necessary (and sometimes not possible) to work in this Extra Challenge into your submission. It’s extra challenge!
