I can do the 'being' bit, but will have to travel somewhere else to find the 'active' half.

I could exposure blend both words together. I only got active on the last day of the last challenge even though we had a fortnight to do it. The first 13 days I was being lazy. Smile

I don't have an issue photographing someone else 'being active' Tongue

Will have to get sorted this weekend as we're off for a couple of days over Manchester on Monday.
Bonus - an A168 Diner bacon bun on the way.

I was being active today - or as I tend to say, I got my a*se in motion. Got my entry in, all done and dusted.
Just need to sort the macro challenge now...

A walk along the front and found plenty of folks on the beach (at bit brrrr....).
Unfortunately the Steel Foundry in the background hasn't been active for a couple of years now.

I did get a possible image today that I may have to use should no other opportunity present itself.

2 days to go! Plenty of time to dust off a camera, charge a battery and get organised for a new year of your favourite picture taking.Grin

Well that's mine in. Perhaps not the most original content for the topic, but there you go - too cold out there for me to spend too much time searching for alternatives! Brrrr!!! Blush

As it was a very bright sky and a very dark beach (wet, red sand), I had to adjust those two colours carefully when converting to black and white to maintain the detail in the sky and ensure the beach didn't appear too dark. Hopefully I got the balance something like right. Smile
