P52 Week 51: Quiet (December 17 - December 23)

Week 51: Quiet

Welcome to our P52! This project is designed to get you out with your camera once a week in a meaningful way. Each week I will post a prompt for you to consider. The prompts are merely suggestions, and you are free to shoot off topic if you wish. All images posted must be taken by you, be safe for work, and be taken with this project in mind. Please do not post archive photos. For a further discussion of the guidelines, please refer to this thread, and you can find the previous weeks linked there if you missed them. Feel free to join in at any time of the year, and you may go back to missed weeks if you still wish to participate.

Well, friends, we are down to the wire here. This is our last themed week, as next week will be your own choice of what to shoot. For those of you who stuck with me this long, thank you, and I hope you are proud of your accomplishment - doing a P52, or even most of one is something that many people never manage to see through. It's been a fun year.

This week, amidst the hustle and bustle, I’d like for you to seek out a few moments of quiet for yourself and photograph how that feels or looks to you. You may interpret this in any form you like.

Great theme; I pine for quiet this time of year. Not just noise, but quieting the mind, leading sometimes to reflection and gratitude. Best of luck to everyone to find those moments of repose.

Thanks a lot to you for sticking with us all year long, I'm short of breath and words (still COVID negative though)
but my gratitude ❤️ goes to you for all what you taught me .

While usually I try to be quiet and stealth, definitely wasn't today. Noticed the hawk as returning the rolling garbage and recycle cans to the house, and drug the yard waste container to the curb for tomorrow's collection. Those container are stored directly under where was perched and supervised my movement the entire time. Went inside and grabbed the camera and tripod. Just sat there and no squirrel dared venture into the area.

First time poster on this forum, I hope this thread isn't limited to digital photography! This was taken in a footpath tunnel in a hilly region in north Taipei, using a Nikomat (or Nikkormat in the West) FTN with a f/2.0 24mm lens and the new Harman Phoenix color film, developed and scanned at home. I've just happened to be testing this new film stock this week, and since this thread popped up on the home page I thought I'd share this over here.

Last walk in the forest had an unbelievable light - fog and sun in the mix. Now I have around 60 favorite images…🫣

Oh, welcome! I saw your post on the POTD thread too. Nice to have another film shooter. I do shoot film but did not do so enough this year; hoping to ramp it up in 2024.

We also have a film thread, and while I don't expect you'll want to read all 19 or whatever pages, I'd love to see more images from the Harman if you are willing to share. It seems pretty hit or miss so far with the samples I've seen, although read that it does better with home scans than lab scans at present with so little data out on it. I haven't picked up a roll of it yet.

Quiet, relaxing on the porch and reading in the library.

Welcome in this beautiful photography forum 🙂
I hope your photo is prophetic and we are all at the end of the tunnel for many issues! 💗
