    Mine quit working at one point. I also fell asleep and rolled over onto one when it was in the little USB dongle thing and snapped it in half :laugh:

    I took this with a Canon 7D (I think) back in 2008. It was a broken upright piano for sale in a 5&Dime store in Buckhannon, WV. I walked past it and the broken hammers caught my eye...took a picture.

    I was thinking of trying to set up a photo with a feather falling just before it hits the ground for "Light as a feather" but I didn't have time to get that set up. Instead I rushed to catch a sunset when I was looking for a bird at the local lagoon. The ducks that decided to swim across the river within the shot were perfect for a nice lagoon scene!

    Well, the wife surprised me and picked up the Sigma I played around with the other week. I am blown away with this lens every time I use it.

    Took this pic on 11.10.2015 with my cell phone because I forgot my memory card in my laptop :mad: Went to target shooting with my bro and it was foggy as hell with the sun was peaking through the thick fog and dark clouds.

    It is in fact a christmas tree. We live in a condo and had some pretty severe rains. Basement storage flooded 8"-10" and we had to basically take everything out. By default the tree had to go up haha

    Awesome use of the ambient light, loving your dogs tongue hanging out as he runs toward you lol

    The composition of this is awesome. I like how the sun comes through the heat shield of the MG. also awesome you caught this while the boat was moving. Another thing, the wake the boat creates serves as kind of a leading line to the sun so that's awesome also.
    Nice shot Kevin, the ducks do add a nice touch! Loving the scenery here and how the sun is just touching the horizon.
    Nice job with the sunlight peeking through the clouds.

    Awesome bokeh on Christmas tree lights!
    Still came out pretty decent for a cellphone! I love foggy scenes like this. I like how there's a lighter and darker side to the image aswell! For the future, get an SD card case, like the waterproof pelican one, http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/con...e3bl8kCFVAlgQodFxACVw&is=REG&m=Y&A=details&Q=, and have some extra to keep in your bag with the camera!





    Drum roll please!

    Winner is @Don5352 ! PM @medic2230 with your challenge!

    Some tough competition. Nice job everybody!
