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

Yes, the expression says it all! "Don't point that thing in my direction!" He hates having his picture taken.

 

Headed to the Mississippi river today looking to shoot an eagle or 2. Cold and windy not a big surprise here this time of year. But first time in a long time the sun came out. Found an adult that I was able to get closer to than usual.

 

I struggled to get a good capture this weekend as I worked most of the week. Was at an awards banquet and was shooting at 10k iso.... got this from my photo's

10k ISO, thats something, i hate having to switch from 100 to 200.

 

Best part... it's a m43 camera. So impressed and it's not their top model anymore.

Good luck everyone! It's all in the hands of @AK 08TACO now.

 

I'm with you! 100 ISO is prime. 200 you can still get sharp with no signs of grain. I can shoot up to 400 if REALLY desperate, but if I shoot above 400, no magazine accepts it.

 

Some good entries that really make for a tough decision. Im gonna have to go with @Beers on this one, I really like the way it is composed! Congrats and looking forward to to next one.

@medic2230 heads up for beers challenge. Thanks

 

Congrats to @Beers! Nice shot! There were some very nice pics taken this week. Nice to see them all.

 

Congrats @Beers I will be waiting on your PM with the new challenge.

 

Congrats!

 

Nice shot @Beers !

I was out of town and didn't get a chance to take a shot. Let's see what this weeks challenge brings. I'm a few blocks away from the superbowl festivities here in Houston. We'll see if I can work that into the new challenge.

 

Congrats Beers, well done! Nice pictures this week.

 

Thank you all. These challenges have been great to get me to look at subjects in a different manner. The next challenge will have some inspiration from my last shot.

 

New Challenge: "Break the rules"

Examples: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photo-tips/breaking-the-rules/


One photo per person and due this Sunday at midnight of your local time. Photo must be taken from the time of this post. We promise not to share your email or any other personal info without your prior written consent. We also promise not to spam you or sell your email to anyone other than the mafia or princes in search of assistants to help them with transferring funds out of estates or their country. If you have read this far quit reading and get your ass out there and get to work on this. Good luck everyone. Go!

 

I think I break them normally... Should be easy.

Now i just need to remember to take pictures.

 

It's the right index finger.

 

Here is another "break the rules" example for inspiration. This one was unintentional but came out kind of cool. I had the shutter setup to capture motion blur around another subject when this car came around the corner. I tried to get the shot with panning which almost worked out except I had the image stabilization turned on. Panning with this particular image stabilization (2 axis, on or off) was definitely breaking the rules of use for it yet it came out kind of cool.

 

Hoping I can get back on the camera and into this thread

 

I think I can handle this one.


Just need to take the time and do it! Lol
