Well tonight is earmarked for a DVD, the second season of Continuum. This will be accompanied by a bottle of champagne. No celebration, but there's one there and it would be rude and neglectful to deny it its purpose.

Not a problem. The idea of the monthly is to set a task and then we go out and shoot it, thus stimulating our ideas.

Looking at your lens line up and thinking of versatility, for me it would have to be three lenses: 15mm, 18-55mm, 55-300mm. That would cover most eventualities and not really be all that heavy.

Prompted by Vic's query on christenings I wonder if anyone has ever been asked to be a funeral photographer?

Although to some it will seem macabre, on the other hand we have an event where people meet up from all over the world who may not meet again for a long time if at all.

I've never been asked to do this, has anyone?

I'm sure you have the skills to take the images Vic. As for the set of photos, then I suppose for bride and groom substitute baby and parents, everything else being small and larger family groups. Add some candids of other guests and anything interesting going on and we have it sorted.

Don't forget to get a shot of the water flowing onto the baby's head, a critical moment just like the newly married couple kissing at the end of the ceremony.

We're actually off to a dreadful start this time as the next two entries have also been removed.

Please do remember that the Monthly competition is intended for us to shoot new pictures for the brief set. So this May 2014 competition must be shot in May 2014.

Any pictures outside the date parameters will be removed when spotted.

There's some really inspiring images there.

Oh dear, first photo in and I've had to delete it because it was shot in April.

Not a good start, so please remember images have to be shot in May 2014 for this competition.

The body of the guitar is blending into the black background. Generally, I think you'd be better off with a white background.

In any event, check the spec of what is required by your image library.

Speak from the heart, it doesn't have to be a clever title as long as it's your title.
