Challenge 1/20/2014 to 1/22/2014, Scavenger Hunt
Jan 19, 2014 20:14:53 #
The scavenger hunt was one of Annette's frequent challenges so as a challenge tribute to her I thought that a scavenger hunt should be one of our early tasks with a little thought about her influence on what or how we look at what we photograph.
1. Signs: signs that warn, signs that inform, or signs that just tickle to no end.
2. demo depth of field as you understand it. Shoot anything you want that will show focus for a large depth of field and then one that will show a short depth of field. Let me know your aperture settings.
3. Shoot a low angle of an early morning shadow. Even if it's the most mundane of things, I know you'll make it interesting.
4. Give me a straight up shot. lie down, or crouch down, just shoot up. Oh and try to get something in the way of your shot.
5. And of course benches are wild cards.

Can't help but think of the 175 pair of shoes needed here.....
Out to get the Sunday paper and was struck by the long shadows of my short dormant grass....
Don't get dizzy looking up....
You know who this is for...

Looks like a great challenge lhammer. Thanks for hosting! I have missed much the last few days and will try and drop in more often to see what everyone comes up with.
We visited the Iwo Jima Monument today so for now here is one for "shooting up" This is a pillar at the information center in Harlingen. I just put the camera on the ground and took a shot. #2 framed the monument F22 #3 lined the canon up with the monument and took the shot F22. See you tomorrow!

F22 I stood in the palm trees and used it to frame the monument.

Here are 2 that 'fall' under the shooting straight up category. These were taken before I learned how to edit, so they aren't real good...

Posted this one yesterday but my question is if you cannot speak the languages will you have to pay the ticket if you burn it?
