Ooookay... I studied film ten years ago and I have some negatives around here... somewhere... but not sure if I can get them easily scanned in. I do have one print scanned in from then but at a pretty small resolution by the modern standards, and was taken a couple months into me starting. I started doing digital "seriously" in 2008 if we want to stretch things

So I've been snapping pictures forever, and it's really that early snapping that got me more serious about photography. Is it when I started snapping, or when I actually started thinking about what one would associate with photography (i.e. framing, perspective, focus, etc.)?

Probably the latter. The exercise is both to see how far you have progressed as well as appreciate some of the earlier stuff you produced. I too have been snapping my whole life but it was only when I got the D60 in '09 that I put more thought into it. Its really up to your own discretion as to how far you want to go back. I took some great photos on travels as a 3yo, but they were flukes with perhaps a hint of natural instinct, whereas I tried to put a lot more things into shooting after I got the D60 (with varying levels of success as with anyone starting to focus on everything more), which is where I'll be looking for my entry. 👍
(I didn't want to be so general as to say from your first DSLR, as everyone is different)

Hmm tough one. This probably won't be my final entry.

Wish I could take that trip over again knowing what I do now.

I'm not sure that this picture fits to the theme. It was taken when I was in Japan. At that time I was interested in photography to a certain extent, but not to the extent as it is now. But at that particular moment I was trying to get a good picture so I hope I picked the right photo for this week.

My entry for this week will probably have to be this. I took the picture below in North Yorkshire, England during my 2 month long trip around Europe back in 2012. I'm not sure that this was exactly when I started learning about and trying to do the photography thing, but this was certainly towards the beginning.

I decided to go about with the radical editing around the time when I started out.

When is the closing for this - I can contribute something this weekend, otherwise, no drama.

I have yet to get a theme for the next week so I will be waiting until I have the theme for that before I close this. Will probably be a day two for that, @Mike Rotch.

Been trying to get back into this recently but all my early stuff is utter rubbish, think I'll wait for the next topic.

The next theme as chosen by week 67 winner @ShaolinMasta is:
This will close on April 22nd at midnight BST. Apologies for the delayed opening, I've had a very hectic week again. Who ever said university holidays meant no work is a liar.

@Solo Am I still allowed to enter?
@ShaolinMasta Will you allow this? (I wasn't sure you wanted something green-coloured, or "green" as in plants/vegetation?)
If "yes" to both, then...:

Yes to both
I think it's a great picture and it's well suited to this theme.It is a pity that I can't participate because I still don't have the ability to shoot something "green". Anyways, I really like all pictures.
