Hi, everybody! Sorry if I am a bit late in posting my suggestion for this week's topic but Christmas holiday is a busy time... (too busy relaxing, having fun in the snow, playing with my kids, baking biscuits and all that stuff, you know).

My topic is: lenses. You can take photos of anything you like but in your image the lens (glasses, contact lenses, magnifying lenses, telescopes, camera lenses...any!) must be an important part of the composition.

Dare: show us the world through your lens (and of course I don't mean your camera's lens but the lens that you put in your photo)!

Restriction: no people in the photo...but any other human living being is allowed.

Can't wait to see your photos! :)

I am sorry, but do not understand the restriction. No people in the photo but humans allowed?

Thank goodness I thought it was just me, I have read it many times and I don't get it either.

I think what's being indicated is that a photo of a person in glasses is not what he's looking for. That's just my interpretation though.

I beg your pardon!! That must be all the wine I drank during the holidays...I meant to write LIVING BEING...I'll correct!

Administrivia

Please remember that your photograph must be actively taken between the the time this assignment was posted, and the expiration of the assignment.

Please remember to follow the guidelines found on the group's front page. These include a few DOs and DON'Ts.

We look forward to seeing your one (or two) submissions.

Have fun, and stay safe.

Submissions
Click the "Send to Group" above your photo, once you see an official placemarker from The Editors or Redbot, denoting the end of the previous weekly assignment.

DON'T Post to other groups' pools until after all voting has finished for the assignment. Adhering to this makes it simpler to follow the discussion, and voting.

DO Tag your photos with "Active Assignment Weekly".

DO Critique at least three other photos posted.

DO Encourage your fellow photographers. Offer suggestions, advice, pointers etc. You will find that by teaching, you will learn more.

DON'T Leave personally disparaging, ad hominem, or otherwise insulting comments about the photographer. If the photo you're doing a critique on is really, REALLY bad, take the high road and give some constructive advice.
Expiration
This assignment ends at 8pm UTC (aka GMT) on Monday, January 12, when you should have completed the assignment and posted your photo(s).

In case you're wondering about the closing time, check on the time remaining calculator.

Voting
Voting can take place anytime once a photo is submitted, but all voting must be completed twenty-four hours after the close of the assignment. The time remaining calculator also shows the time for close of voting.

• All members of the group may cast up to 2 votes.

• It is expected that those who have submitted photos will vote, and those vote(s) must be for submission(s) other than their own.

• Votes are made up of two parts:
(1) comment on the photo like this
I voted this "BestOfWeek#" (from Active Assignment Weekly group).
replace # with the sequential number of your vote.
You may cut and paste the following text for your comments
I voted this "BestOfWeek#" (from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/activeassignment/">Active Assignment Weekly</a> group).
(2) TAG the photo
"BestOfWeek#"
replace # with the sequential number of your vote.
If there are two previous votes, your vote tag would show up as BestOfWeek3.

• If there is a tie, a further twenty-four hours will be allowed, allowing for those who have not already voted on any of the tied photos, to cast tie-break votes.

It's my first week in the group and I am so excited that this was the theme. In college I had to do a symbolic self portrait and I drew a picture of my glasses! Lenses are very near and dear to me. :)

I'm so glad to be here! I hope my photos are worthy!
