Here is my take on how the photo contests should be structured: Entry must be an original photo - not something you found on the internet. The theme is established at the beginning of the month by the previous winner. The deadline for entry is the 25th of the month. Only one entry per person. Submitted photos must be captured after the date the announcement No changing photos once you've entered.
Theme is the "Great Outdoors" Deadline for submission is the last day of the month. Must have been taken on or after 3/1 Rules are here. Get on it! :yup:
Post what you think is your best photo. No restrictions on the date taken or previous use of the photo. Just show what you think is your best. Also, you must leave at least one comment on someone else's entry about how their composition could've been improved. If you don't leave at least one then you will be disqualified. I will be the sole judge of the contest but I will consider the comments that are left about others. Low-down backstabbing comments will be tolerated. I will also close the contest and name the winner whenever I feel like it. :P The prize: 73 rounds of 9mm including a 100 round capacity Case-Guard P100 genuine plastic box. 21698 21699
So we were driving from Tonopah to Goldfield to see what else we could photograph last weekend but we got sidetracked by the sort of clouds that you don't see every day. The four of us set up on the side of the road, focused and composed and waited for the traffic to clear. Then we took turns running out to the middle of the road, aiming and shooting during a break in the traffic. This shot was with a wide angle 90mm lens with a red filter, Delta 100 film developed in Rodinal: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4061/4412494284_1de5716e07_b.jpg

Went to one of the most hunted buildings in Virginia City today (featured twice on Ghost Adventures). To clarify...I do no believe in ghosts....but... In one of the rooms i set up my lights...took several photos...both lights were working like they should...and then i realized that one of them didn't have there remote trigger connected. There is no way i should work at all....but it did. Then we were shooting by the window..joking about ghosts....sun was setting...and as soon as it went behind horizon all of our equipment went down....it looked like our batteries were drained at the same time....both flashes, camera, cell phones, flashlight, video camera and light....everything went to normal as soon as we left the building. We are going back there in few weeks with fog machine and some other stuff to do another shoot. Here are the pictures from today:

Let's get this going, we are running out of time!
Four of us met up at 4:45 this morning to head up to Tahoe. We spent a couple of hours shooting Bonsai Rock. It was a pretty good shoot. The other three were shooting digital but I, of course, shot film so it'll be a few days before I post any final products. The surprise of the day came on the trip down the Mt. Rose Highway. Washoe Valley was completely fogged in. There were some mountains protruding from the clouds here and there. The clouds had some amazing colors. I only had 4 sheets of film left so I hope I got the exposures right. 20514

So I've been hanging out with the best photographers I know lately. These guys are serious about their craft but can't stay serious for 5 seconds straight. Yesterday we were going to go to VC but somehow lost motivation so we decided to do some studio work. I took my home-made audio trigger and some pellet guns. Dan got a bunch of glasses from the dollar store and Nick acquired a box of stemware that his mother wasn't using. You can see where this is going right? It's amazing how much fun you can have when four guys with equipment and imagination get together in a basement studio. Some of Dan's results: Here' s me hitting a glass with a hammer. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3094/3381957968_0147e50ef5.jpg?v=0 I shot one with a pellet gun. Here's the aftermath: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3446/3381139459_33248591cb.jpg?v=0
