Weekly Photography Challenge Thread (see first post rules and then the poll at top before entering)

South Congress Austin, TX about 2 hours ago. I was walking back to the truck and walked up on this homeless dude counting his cash, cart on left.

Damn, that's a winner right there.

 

Yea man, several of us just post our other picks for the week in there since most of us do it and post in both..

I have been linking all the submissions of the week directly below the winner of the week in the OP so you can always go back and look at what they were up against.

I mean..i see your angle..like to get options on others about what photo for what..and why you chose it and all that. Could be a nice thread.

But i see no reason to not put it in the Photography thread we don't bite and you can post about the challenge and all.



I hope we see some more photos!! Come on guys!

 

Dont close it down early. I have to get home and get some stuff edited. It will be about 4 hours.

 

You have till midnight man your time zone..

so..you have 3 hours and 20 minutes! pressure is on!

 

Cool, Ill go ahead and throw the overflow in there for now. I will ponder the critique thread and send ideas your way!

 

yea i mean i totally understand your angle! So..may be an option..but maybe the Photo thread will give ya want your thinking of anyways. If not. We can do something

 

Make it easier for Chaz..

 

3.5 hours??? Im pacific time. I should have 4 hours as of right now. Right?

 

oh right haha yes! 4 hours! so..your good! haha

 

Looking great so far! I'm hitting they hay. I will cast my vote first thing in the morning. Sorry if it takes me a bit but the only Final I have that could cause me some serious damage is tomorrow so that will be my main concern until the afternoon ha

Great photos so far, everyone!

 

i have a final in the morning too so..looks like everyone better brace for an afternoon result! haha

 

Good work thus far gentlemen/ladies..

Thanks again Chaz for this exciting adventure into previously uncharted photography territory for me personally. This has been a week of experimentation and growth for sure..

My recurring internal strife each week seems to be deciding on one particular shot over another and why.. Oh well.. after much debate, I give you "Candid Cafe".
(if you look real close, you can see my hat & camera reflected in the window for a sense of just how close i was for this one..)

I was actually quite shocked to look back and find the expression on this lady's face because literally 1 second after this photo was taken she was smiling and waving at me… just another example of how most people enjoy having their photo taken.

Cheers! ..and as usual, I'll post the leftovers in the regular Photo thread..

ah was wondering where your submission was! haha

nice shot!

It was fun indeed. I only had one person ask me not to shoot them.

 

a few great later submissions showing up! Nice tacomas, great intermediate expression.

 

Thanks for the kind words Monte & Marc! Glad y'all enjoyed it.

 

I didn't get a chance to get out to shoot candid street shots, but I did get one shot that I liked. I'll post it soon, but it might not fully qualify for this challenge.

 

Can't hurt to try

 

Nope, and I like it anyways, so here it is! Can't compete with any of those other ones...I wish I had gone out to actually get some shots on the street, but I was super busy last week.
