Photo Challenge - Discussion Thread

[Lady of Winterfell]

Alright, the poll has been put up! Please see the post in the Challenge thread here.

 

[Wybren]

So now that July is almost over, any ideas for the August one?

 

[Culhwch]

It'll be BookStop's choice, I should think, unless there is a late flurry of voting. I'm eager to get shooting again, I really enjoyed this last one...

 

[BookStop]

I won? Wow, thanks for voting for me, guys.

The priory picture was one I took on my last vacation. It was a gorgeous day, sunny and blue, then a storm shot over the hillside making everything very spooky.

So, do I pick the next challenge?

 

[HoopyFrood]

I'm looking forward to a new competition. I enjoyed the last one and trying to get interesting photos.

Pick a good subject, Bookstop (no pressure )

 

[Lady of Winterfell]

Yes Bookstop, you do get to pick the next challenge. Congrats on winning! Whenever you decide just go ahead and start a new challenge thread.

Can't wait!

 

[Highlander II]

Yep - Bookstop, choose the theme and set up the thread and I'll stick it and unstick the old one.

 

[BookStop]

Stick away my good man. Thanks.

 

[Culhwch]

Night! Gah! I've never been good at night shots... Oh well, looks like I need to do some practicing.

 

[Overread]

Congratulations on your win Bookstop

considering your ava I am surpriced Culhwch
Just make sure to have a tripod and use the timer or remote to shoot

 

[Highlander II]

Stick away my good man. Thanks.

Done and done... but *is not a man* =) The profiles on chrons just don't have a way of marking which you are... crazy profiles. *g*

 

[Overread]

its that ava - and title - its very misleading

 

[Highlander II]

I use that one b/c I'm too lazy to change it - even though I have 18-zillion of the right size b/c I make LJ/IJ icons for RP characters all over the place.

Hmmm - maybe I'll put House up there instead. =)

The title? Or my s/n? The title is just the tagline from the movie... My s/n is an actual, direct, on purpose reference to the 2nd movie. *g* I'm sure the story behind it is around here on the boards somewhere.

Now - if only I could find Christopher Lambert to take a photo of - then I could combine Highlander and photography! =)



ETA: and I did change my avatar, but it's Hugh Jackman's arm now, not House - went w/ the *other* Hugh. *g* look - I got un-lazy for 5 seconds =)

 

[Lady of Winterfell]

I'm with Cul on this one, I've never been real good at night shots. But it makes me practive, so thats good!

One question though... Must the sun be completely down and absolutely no light whatsoever, or can the sun be down, but a little light remaining?

 

[BookStop]

Hmm - good question. I'm thinking a little light is good thing, right, as long as it still gives the impression of night. What I'm wondering is if sunsets count. Sunsets make for great evening shots, but technically not night...

 

[Lady of Winterfell]

Well I think it's your call if sunsets count or not, since you came up with the theme. But I think you're right, they technically aren't 'night'.

 

[BookStop]

Technically, schmechnially, I'm thinking anything after dusk and before dawn counts as night. That should give us a lot of time to work with I hope. I'm getting very excited to see what some's interpretations will be.

 

[Highlander II]

Time to dig out my old-fashioned SLR now then... since my digi is limited w/ it's nighttime capabilities.

Means I'll have to also make a photo-mat run too...

*and* I have to have 'em all done before the 18th b/c I'm going out of the country... well, technically, I'll be back on the 26th, but bah - that's vacation time and I'll probably forget! =)
