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

Thanks everyone and the feedback is great to hear.
PM has been sent for the new challenge.

 

New challenge!

We are gonna have an open challenge. Anything goes!

 

There it is ladies and gents! can't wait to see what everyone captures this week.

 

Congrats Aaron!

Thanks for the feedback Hernan

 

Pkjr, I just want to express my point of view that the food is one of the hardest topics to deal with because the feeling of the picture could be heavily modified by the personal taste or the time of the day. In the morning I'll see more attractive pictures of coffee with a dona that a burrito with juicy guacamole, I think I most feel like is repulsive for the morning but at lunch will appreciate more that image.
Just my two cents...

 

Congrats Aaron!

Nice challenge, this ought to be interesting.

 

Sort of a lull in fire academy this week as I don't have a test looming over my head this coming Monday, so with all my new-found free time, I found some time to get out and explore this evening.

Enjoy!

 

was hoping i might get another opportunity, but didn't happen so this is my shot!

Official entries

 

Yes you do
Go do the editing one. Due tomorrow

 

You can do it at school tomorrow before midnight at some time...come on

 

Since I enjoy reading the feed back I will try to provide some as well.

David Great picture. I love how the sun appears to be the focal point but everything else is clear and gives the feel as if I was there. It reminds me of the excitement of being the first one at the boat ramp in the morning.

Monte Love the lightening! This is a picture that is on my bucket list to capture at some point. I wish the town was a little more defined or lightened up but I can only imagine getting a pic like this is challenging.

Marc Nice truck! Love the colors of the sky and terrain in this picture and it seems to make the truck stand out. I would really love to see a bit quicker shutter speed to freeze the tires more and zoomed out a little more. Did I mention the truck looks great?

Kevin Great subject and picture. I find myself capturing wildlife around my yard in the middle of the city. Its satisfying and challenging at the same. Great colors and shadows with the sun peaking through part of the leaves.

TJ The moon has been really cool this last week being out in the day time. Even my 3 year old son noticed yesterday the moon and sun were out together. The picture is fantastic and I think it really draws you into the moment. Love the dessert mountains contrasting with the sky.


Winner is David! Congrats to you and to everyone for the great pictures. Hoping more can participate this week. I look forward to the entries every week.

 

Congrats david!

Thanks for the feed back!

Shot was a bit tricky to balance the foreground with the Lightning. Ended up just weighing on the side of the lighting..the foreground isn't that cool anyways haha next time Id do it like my star shots and do a separate foreground shot to edit in

Hopefully get a pm from David for the new challenge. I know he is busy with fire school

 

Congrats David!

I hope to be back in on this this week. Been too long. Ready to get out and shoot again.
