[casil403]

It's that time again!:clap:

My suggestions for July:

Show us examples of:
Weather
Perspective and leading lines
Transportation
Minimalism

I like
- Perspective and leading lines
- Beginnings and/or endings
- Yellow

Out of what's been said so far, I like:

- Perspective and leading lines

me too.
can I throw out the 20 steps from your door idea again? :shrug:

How about just take a bloody shot! Ugh..someone smack me on the side of the head!

well you've been a wee bit busy. how about a hug instead? :grouphug:

Someone needs a coffee or a beer! :)

Perspective or 20 steps works for me.

Since the weather is warmer and people are out more, why not try for a collective 100 strangers? Based on the website http://www.100strangers.com/. We collectively try to accumulate photos of 100 strangers. It would be cool if we had a least a minimum of info about them to include with the post, even if it is only why we found them interesting.

That's a very cool idea! :clap: I think it would work better as a project than as an assignment though. An entire thread dedicated to this type of project would be cool. Do you mind if I start it? While I don't know the man I have that image "Alone" that I posted yesterday that might be a good start.

Ok, go ahead and start it, that would be excellent, then each poster should number their submission as we go along.

Ok members - suggestion posts merged and the assignment with the most support this month is Perspective and/or Leading lines . This means that the image should have an interesting perspective and/or include leading lines.

Ok then - who will post first?!
Thx - Marko

[Mad Aussie]

Another excellent subject! It's great to see some more creative topics. :thumbup:

[casil403]

Ok I'll bite first:

Nice shots so far, fer sure - looks like another creative month!

[QuietOne]

As they were going under the bridge I was standing on. Would've liked the one almost under, but it didn't turn out. As I was editing I couldn't help thinking, "Damn, that front paddler is ripped".

[QuietOne]

And another one. There's a United Water facility right behind me. This is probably connected with it.

[Mad Aussie]

"Damn, that front paddler is ripped"
And the back paddler is "Buoyant" to say the least ;)

Yes, I spent a lot of money on camera, lens, software just to make it look like a polaroid transfer. :headslap:

No matter what I do though some sort of wildlife has to come along and ruin my shot,:rolleyes:
Actually was shooting for this assignment and they just sauntered across.

[Marko]

Nice new additions - Lucky the wildlife came around HBG!

[Bambi]

great shots so far everyone! I've got to get going on this assignment!

[MoinMoin]

First thought about this assignment: That's no theme for me - but now, I've got one :clap::

these photos I took in the late '90s.......

[QuisutDeus]

another late '90s photo I took in my hometown in Nebraska......

[Marko]

Both nice posts QD - especially post #25- love it.!:highfive:
Just as an FYI - there's no hard and fast rule about the assignments, but most members choose not to use old shots. The assignment is meant to get people out there shooting.. but like I said - no hard and fast rules.

Nice tones there casil!

[Wicked Dark]

I've done a lot with this type of photography over the years, especially for classes and such since it's basically photo 101 and works tremendously well. Here's one from a recent trip to Seattle -

I thought it was nice of the shadows to point out some of the more interesting features of the harbour ;)

Wow some cool new additions since I've been away for a few days. Every photo I see is fitting the assignment theme very well.

That's a cool location you've found there Lovin.

Nice work Casil. Kinda like my powerlines ... if you can't avoid it ... use it!

[QuietOne]

Speaking of power lines...
8040

The water to the right is the Snake river. Broad, fairly deep, favorite of serious fishers with specialized fishing boats. Capable of landing float planes - Mike says he's seen them land more than once.

[Mad Aussie]

The lines really help us to see into the distance.

[Marko]

wonderful new additions - very strong images here :highfive:

[light50]

Well here is the result of my adventure into the world of B&W....I hope that you will like it.....

[Bambi]

I like it Light!

finally I have one for the assignment!

[Mad Aussie]

I like it also Light50, and yours is an interesting choice of POV too Bambi.

Some soft lines on a dying poppy leaf:

Love this one MM, that is beautiful. The DOF used just made them lines pop right out of the pic, and the bokeh quality is so smooth.

[QuietOne]

I really like that poppy, MoinMoin. I can't decide whether I like the colors or the lines better.

[mbrager]

Had to act fast for this. Mike

[QuietOne]

When I took this I was thinking of giving you guys a - perspective of the statue's size. Guess it fits the theme.

[Iguanasan]

I am pretty sure this counts as leading lines...

Iggy- I love the lines here!

Crop Watering.
These giant watering/sprinkler systems are just immense.

Cool shot of the sprinklers, Casil. Yes, they're huge. The farms in my immediate area use them, too.

[asnow]

I like the leading lines in this picture however this was difficult for me to get a quality picture of it.

- the top of the stairs is way brighter than the bottom. For example at the bottom it was 1/8 exposure and at the top it was 1/500 sec.
- I tried a 5 picture HDR and this is what I got.

There are two main problems

- the colour (or color if you choose) balance is different as well. The top of the stairs gets sunlight from the outside and made everything there blue. The rest of the stairs gets indoor light. It became impossibe for me to do this picture in colour.
- I therfore converted to B&W however I can't get any snap to the picture. It appears wishy washy. I suppose this is partly due to the HDR (I'm new to HDR)

I will try this another time in the future when there is no competing sunlight from outside.

[Bandit]

Not much but the best I have for lines and perspective
