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

Bah! Got some shots tonight, nothing like I was hoping for.

 

I know this isn't "life in motion" to most, but if anyone has spent sunrise to sunset out in the country there is just nothing like it.

 

Make it easier on Marc..

 

Here's my submission unless I shoot something good tomorrow.


Orlando International Airport the day after Christmas. Lots of frantic running as people got off the tram trying to get to the gate to board their flights.

 

Sorry man. Once submitted, that's it haha

Still a good photo!

 

Okay fellas here is my submision.

To me, this photo is "life in motion" about as literal as it can get. To think that no matter what, life is moving in the cosmos as a whole. No matter what happens. How we move around the town we live in..and the state..and country..and earth..and the earth in the solar system..and the solar system in the Milky Way..and the Milk way through the known Universe. Its fascinating.

This was my first ever attempt at star trails.

Hope more people jump in! two days guys!

 

I want to enter, but I feel like the DSLR cameras are almost cheating

 

Came out good man!

 

haha well..it is a bit orientated towards the photo guys..BUT

that does NOT mean you can't get something amazing from a cellphone/tablet/or point and shoot camera. Do not be afraid to enter man creativity, lighting, composition and meaning and everything else weigh in just as important if not more important then quality.

show us what ya got

thanks man! i was amazed how it turned out for my first try ever! it is hard to sit there for 20 minutes and be all worried you might over expose it haha plus the clouds started rolling in..but it turned out cool!

 

I know what you mean! When I do them I usually set my timer remote to take a shitload of 30sec exposures and then stack them in photoshop. This way you're never overexposed and the sensor doesn't heat up like when you leave it open for a while

 

Thanks man

Yea I can't do that haha no photoshop for me. But it was like 30* so wasn't worried about the sensor too much haha

 

True haha if you download the cs5 trial I can give you a key for it. Work with updates too no problems.

 

Was actually surprised someone didn't before me.

Haha tempting..aren't they on cs7?

 

Idk man I can't keep up and neither can my laptop, I need to build a new desktop on win7 and get rid of this vista crapshoot. I have cs5 and it's good for what I use it for, last I remember is cs6, however Lightroom in way far behind on, I have 2.7 they're at 5 lmao

 

Yea I'm using lr5 ATM. Probably should look into PS. Might do a student bundle with elements and premiere.

 

well and the fact you can edit target areas more precisely.

 

nice! can't imagine trying to get both my dogs in the same shot either haha

 

Great shots piling up for this week Gonna be tough to decide!

Gage, the pup on the left looks like it's trotting over to kill you haha. Purdy dogs!

 

haha, yea i definitely laughed when I first saw it. They look like fun.

 

You can target areas pretty well on LR5. Not as extensively as PS obviously. But you can whiten teeth and delete pimples haha and brighten areas or whatever.
