Fortnightly Competition #19 "The Sun"

Well, here's being hopeful for the good weather to continue! Photos where the sun plays a large part, and I'll leave that to your interpretation.

Closing date: Wed. 8th June. 18:00 BST. Rules

Good luck!

Dan

I figure you mean 8th of July as a closing date?

Thanks to Aiki and Prieni (and Flat4 ) for pointing out that the closing date should obviously be 8th July.

It was late...

Dan

Edited for all manner of things!

K10D and my NEW Pentax 17-70mm on it's first outing, it's very nice

Got into a panic about price rises, so ordered it in a hurry, got it today, 25th June and managed to get out for a while this evening.

Took it last night; K20D and DA*50-135 at F4.

Sun Shine Time




Taken two days appart.

Though you can't see the sun, it does play a large part of this image

I appreciate that there are quite a few things wrong with this shot but I wanted to put it up as it was the last photo taken using my DA*16-50 as I wrote it off falling down this slope! The details are in my entry in this thread.

I couldn't face adding another "sun setting" shot to those well executed examples already entered so I thought I'd stretch the brief a little. Plus it gave me an excuse to carry out my first ever experiment with multiple off-camera flash.

Entered despite the fact I won't be around to judge in the unlikely event I win. The big boys made me do it, then ran away....

Crikes, just realised this competition has finished already and I haven't got my judging prepared. What happened to that fortnight?!?

Will be back soon with some words...
