Weekly Photography Challenge Thread

Snapped this photo on Wednesday at Joshua Tree National Park. One of my better attempts at astrophotography.

This was during a 10-day tour through California and Oregon. Trip/location photos and write up here:

The light emanating from the center into the sky was one of those night sky attraction spotlights. We had planned a group nighttime photog meet up and this threw a little kink into our plans.

 

some nice photos in here, this might be what i need to get myself back behind my camera. Ill be waiting for the next contest.

 

I'm not sure if I am supposed to submit this in an inbox, but from the entries I see, I would love to go with @davidpick . I really enjoy the ambient light from the fire highlighting the rocks, and the light streaks from the embers.
Your mt. Shasta photo on your website is amazing too.

 

Congrats David.
Jessica. as Long as you have considered all the entries I am sure that will work. normally someone will quote the official entries using the multi quote system and the state the winner. you can do it yourself if you want or wait for someone to do it for you next time. either or. it just confirms that all the entries were seen.
My main camera is down for a bad power switch and work got in the way this week do I didn't have an option to head out. next time

 

Great entries! Congrats David!!

 

Thanks all! Had a lot of fun playing around with night shooting.

New challenge incoming!

 

New challenge: "Winter" -- something that speaks to the winter season wherever you live.


One entry per person and due this Sunday at midnight of your local time. Photo must be taken after the time of this post. Good luck everyone! Go!!!

 

I do like the snow.

 

Sweet, I'm way up north right now and there's snow up here .

 

aw man... our winter consists of warm rain. rain photo it is!

 

Figured i would try my new phone out. This about what the mood feels like for almost 6 months out of the year in the Midwest. This is a melted amount of 1st snow.

 

it don't snow here but temp drops enough to get the fire going

 

Well is that a threat or a promise... You could have come over and shoveled the damn white chit this morning so I didn't have to, sick of it already! Bah Humbug!!

I bet you could get some decent pics of Ash and other things there right now, just saying

6 months, where in the Midwest are you?! More like 6 weeks of piss poor sledding here! Nice pic BTW.

 

snow fall isnt 6 months, just the cold weather. Im in Iowa, i wish there would be snow the whole time it was cold, would make it more worth buying a sled but anymore there is maybe a month or 2 that is good riding weather.

 

If people realize that it is really 6 months of mosquito season\road construction & only 6 months of winter then everyone would move in . Last night saw at least half a dozen trucks with sleds in the back, anyone with a sled has been chomping at the bit. I hear you, about the same here.

 

Just dug the truck out of the snow, and then of course it started snowing again. This is my view during winter at least 6 times a day for the next couple of months. Unless get lucky and spring comes early.

 

My friend up in Rochester was bitching about the snow herself, lol. unfortunately all she has is a old chrysler concorde. I have no clue how she gets to work.

 

LaCrosse Wisconsin - up in the bluffs.

 

Hey I always thought the Concorde was a fairly decent looking car! Well there is a little part of me yet that still says Mopar or no car. Truck has to be Toyota however and always have had 4x4 rigs. Odds are she also works at Mayo Clinic. We are spending 22 Billion dollars over the next 20 years to make it a Medical Destination Center. My first thought was move South! But the CEO and board do know what they are doing or we wouldn't be the number 1 hospital in the US. Weather however I would rank toward the bottom though....
