Weekly Competition No. 30 "One of My Best Photos"

This week, the competition will be very easy and a little different, made especially for encourage everybody to participate. Just search in your photo album, and find “One of My Best Photos” (better if not older than 1 year).

Hope this week the competition will have the most numerous entrants, and so, break the barrier of 41 of the Martin´s “Buildings” comp. And the best of all; we will see a very good and very interesting collection of images (better than ever). I´m sure we will open a great treasure chest.

Success to every entrant, and don´t deprive us to see the best of your work.


Best regards.

OK, lets get the ball in play. My ''Best'' isn't made yet.....
But this entry gives me the most pleasure sofar.


Martin.

Thanks for the broad subject - I've been really struggling to get out and shoot for far too long.

This one was a capture from Christmas, taken using natural light, and then tweaked the levels in Lightroom.

Taken with then my brand new 55-200mm at ISO 1600.

The day was very very misty but I manged to come away with this shot.

What a difficult subject. Most of my pictures have a little story. And I really don't think it's up to me to add text as well. So I figured this one told the story it self

Taken on the afternoon after arriving - the other three days were quite overcast and so not so good for photography.
I have what one might call 'artier' photos from the past year but this one gives me a lot of pleasure by its simplicity.

I like the symmetry

This weeks comp is gona have some awesome entries in

The Very Tired Busker

date: 17-11-07, k10d, DA 18-55 @ 18mm, iso 100, 1/125s f:11, tweaked in LightRoom.

Wu-Hoo a competition I can enter whilst my cameras are on the boat making the journey fron the UK to Oz (I've not even tried my christmas present yet, santa bought me an MX!)

Tough one this week. This is one I am particularly happy with, taken on 6 January this year.

B is for...




Exif: Pentax *ist Ds, F4, 1/20s, taken with 50mm 1.7l A lens.

Ok, let's get one in (I may change it later on...)

*istD, Sigma 105 mm F2.8 EX DG Macro, 1/8 s, A11, ISO 200.

It's difficult to choose just one image, but I like my "creative" images such as this one, "Sign of the Zodiac". It's part of a series with dissolution as the theme, the fading away and disintigration of our technology.
