Photo Challenge Discussion Thread - November

[mosaix]

The challenge thread is up for November. The seasonal emphasis of the challenge will, of course, vary from place to place.

Good luck.

Hurray! Snapfish now hosts my snaps.

The entries are starting to trickle in. I've taken a few so far, now I'm just filtering through trying to decide on the best.

Here, in the UK, it's autumn of course. I just love the golds and browns, there's no other time of year quite like it.

 

[Talysia]

There are some really lovely pictures so far this month. I have to agree with Mosaix: there really is no other time of year like this.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do for my second entry. I took some other photos of the same area as my first pic, so I might use one of them. Hopefully I'll be able to get some from a different location.

 

[J Riff]

Very nice, Mosaix.
My prairie pic looks wrong. It's too green, yet not orange enough.

 

[mosaix]

Thanks JR. Where was your shot taken?

I love the bleak look of AE's tree.

 

[Precise Calibre]

My camera is in the shop with a fractured lens right now, no entry from me this month

Some awesome shots from others though; hard to choose.

 

[mosaix]

Two great shots, Bookstop. I especially like the first one.

What lovely photos everyone. We've been having power issues, and seeing as it always takes me ages to load pages with images, now's been my first chance to actually look at what everyone has posted. So far, going by first glances, particularly taken with AE's winter tree - but there's some stiff competition there...

I imagine not all of you would associate blue skies and greenery with winter, nor a yellow-blossoming shrub with the onset of spring. For an Aussie though, that wattle is iconic, and you northerners don't know what you're missing!

Second shot was an attempt to capture the relentless light of summer, and the landscape's reaction to it. Was taken at Christmas time several years ago.

Hmm...what happened to my other picture? It was in the same post as the one that's still there. Is it just me not seeing it?

 

[J Riff]

Thats the canuk prairies, Saskatchewan, flattest place in the world.
Hey, no fair, you guys have good cameras and know how to use them!
I have a GE digital which I got because someone swiped my Kodak which was way better.
Then my hard drive crashed and later someone stole IT from my PC bag, losing about a hunnert pics I took in SoCal. Miffed, yes.

No TDZ I can only see one picture. Nice it is too.

I can see both, DZ.

 

[chrispenycate]

Well, I know exactly what I want to take, and I'm going to PA a show there from tomorrow.

Now I'm merely dependent on weather, having time to get out and take it, and get it back and squeezed down to size before the deadline… and my little Nikon is not a landscape camera, and snow is forecast.

But I am trying.

 

[mosaix]

I can see both, DZ.

Yep, so can I now.

That's an interesting effect with the hailstones. It looks like they're travelling upwards and leaving a trail.

 

[AE35Unit]

Yep, so can I now.

That's an interesting effect with the hailstones. It looks like they're travelling upwards and leaving a trail.

Yea they are cool shots, and the streaking effect is to do with how the shutter fires. Two curtains, one following the other, sacnning the scene like, well, like a scanner. Anything not pinned down leaves a streak. On some cameras you can choose how the shutter fires for a different effect. (First or second curtain priority)

 

[Mouse]

Good ones so far! I do like yours, TDZ. The hailstone looks like a bullet!

 

[Vertigo]

Well I have to say there are some great shots coming in this month. There's no way I will get time to take any myself. I can only find time to visit Chrons once or twice a week at the moment. However I will try and find the time to vote when the time comes.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Thanks, guys! I can see both of them now, too, so I guess it was just a momentary glitch.

 

[Culhwch]

Just a warning that I'll close the thread for entries in just over three days, at midnight on the 27th (GMT), to allow for three days of voting. So if you've got 'em, post 'em!
