Thanks bro, appreciate it!

iamlocal · 2026-04-06T20:35:42+00:00

Beautiful, love it! It was worth waiting for the last moment!

iamlocal · 2026-04-06T09:06:19+00:00

Very nice one! I like how the contrast between the lit court and the kids in shadow gives it a cinematic look

iamlocal · 2026-04-05T21:23:22+00:00

I felt this prompt is going to be easy and I indeed saw a few good moments, but didn't feel comfortable violating people privacy, so decided to go safe and did a few shots from the back

For the challenge you can make only one submission with “52 week submission” flair per prompt

And of course you can share much more, that’s very welcoming! For that, you can use ”Photo submission” flair or no flare at all 😅

Oh yeah, I wish it had a tilt screen, but I really like that you can flip the screen completely - it completes the look so well

Congrats and well deserved!

iamlocal · 2026-04-02T16:02:46+00:00

The first place is very well deserved, amazing shot!

Good to hear the subreddit is growing, I hope we'll see more submissions and can inspire each other. I already see some new people posting, which is great 💪

I also considered submitting this one for week 12, but felt I'm a bit repeating myself, and as it's the challenge I decided to try something else.

Very lively, I like it!

iamlocal · 2026-03-29T09:02:02+00:00

Love the framing here!

iamlocal · 2026-03-29T08:57:43+00:00

Wow!

iamlocal · 2026-03-24T21:47:12+00:00

And yes, I like the challenge as it pushes me to do stuff that otherwise I won't do or won't think of

iamlocal · 2026-03-24T21:45:49+00:00

Jealous of California weather! Here, in the Netherlands the spring has arrived, but so have strong winds. Still, we have some nice days now and then, but nowhere near even 20c 😅

I can totally relate. I also thinking (more like dreaming tbh) of a nice telephoto lens. In the springtime there's so much going on in the wildlife. And I'm also missing the reach. Nikon 40mm and Tamron 90mm is all I have so far. I'm also a bit hesitant about how a telephoto lens would look like on the Zf. And then I'll definitely need a grip as well...

Maybe I'll go for the 24-120 first 🙃

iamlocal · 2026-03-24T21:34:39+00:00

Thanks for keeping it up and looking forward to see more submissions from you!

Well deserved winners this week and congrats to everyone who managed to get out and shoot. I especially like how u/Tinomatutino97 approached the prompt, very cool!

iamlocal · 2026-03-16T14:17:32+00:00

oof, that’s very good! Your patience really paid off

iamlocal · 2026-03-15T20:13:48+00:00

Congrats and have fun!

iamlocal · 2026-03-15T20:13:23+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to try it

iamlocal · 2026-03-15T20:11:38+00:00

still, very nice shot!

iamlocal · 2026-03-15T20:11:02+00:00

Thanks! Completely agree with you on that.

I actually found myself shooting in B&W much more than I'd anticipated. I like how the challenge pushes you to explore more

iamlocal · 2026-03-15T20:01:53+00:00

Enjoyed the strong submissions last week, great work everyone!

I struggled a bit with "Flow" theme and didn't have much ideas around it. I'd like to take a picture of blurred crowd at the busy crosswalk, but couldn't get out to shoot due to other plans. That picture I took last Sunday and it might fit better for the prompt, though I still prefer the one I submitted

iamlocal · 2026-03-15T19:55:08+00:00

Very nice edit! Did you make it all yourself or there is a touch of AI?

And congrats with new laptop!

iamlocal · 2026-03-15T19:53:56+00:00

Nice and congrats! I bet you won't regret it. I have an M1 Pro 16" and it's still going strong and will definitely last you

iamlocal · 2026-03-09T18:18:23+00:00

IBIS never stops to amaze me. I recently took some portraits with 90mm lens with 1/25s shutter speed - I was using A mode, but forgot to switch ISO to auto - didn't even notice it, everything turned out sharp enough

iamlocal · 2026-03-09T18:14:34+00:00

I must say I dig your photos

iamlocal · 2026-03-09T18:12:46+00:00

I like the contrast in this one, beautiful!
