Project 8 - September 2007 Photography Challenge: "NIGHT LIFE"

8thgenuser · 09-07-2007, 03:08 PM

Congratulations to our August Photography Challenge winner, Rpm2. As winner of the last challenge, he can suggest the theme of this month's challenge. Also, I'll ask him to choose his three favorite submissions, not including his own, for voting. This will keep advanced photographers from winning every challenge and give a chance for someone else to be in the spotlight.

This month's challenge will be: Night Life
The rules should be the same as last time. I've defined them a bit more clearly here:

* Photos submitted without EXIF (metadata) date information will not be eligible.
* Each photographer shall submit only one photograph for consideration. You may post additional photographs after the challenge is complete. If you post more than one photo prior to the deadline, the first photo shall be considered your official submitted photograph. Note: You can change your mind prior to the deadline...just edit your post with the new photograph.
* The photograph shall be a new photograph (no photographs from your archives, please).
* The photograph shall not be majorly altered in a photo-editing program. A watermark for copyright purposes is okay so long as it is not the main focus of the submitted photo. Other acceptable alterations include basic cropping, brightness and contrast. Color and focus adjustments should be made in-camera prior to taking the photograph. Note that I've taken white balance out of the acceptable alterations. White balance can be done in-camera. I apologize to you guys that shoot in RAW, just trying to level the playing field here.
* The theme shall be adhered to, but is open to creative interpretation. Unobvious theme interpretations shall be submitted with a brief description of how the photo relates to the theme.
* Please submit your photograph prior to the end of the month, September 30, 2007.

now this should be a good one for long exposures!

arisenfury · 09-07-2007, 06:47 PM

That 50mm 1.8 I bought yesterday might be even more useful now.

Rpm2 · 09-07-2007, 10:43 PM

Long exposers ftw!

But that is an old pic

Yes, long exposures FTW though! Too bad my camera only will do 15 seconds exposures

My fiances won't do any

I may or may not sit this one out.... Depends on if I can get that 15 seconds to do what I need it to do.

plus that was only 10 sec so 15 can be plenty!

8thgenuser · 09-08-2007, 03:25 PM

Cool theme. I can even take long exposure pics on my P&S Canon SD450.

erm - you know you get one pic eh?

arisenfury · 09-08-2007, 06:12 PM

They also had to have been taken during September 2007, which, according to EXIF your shots aren't. The shot of the gauges doesn't have any EXIF data at all which also disqualifies it.

However, they are very nice shots, I especially like the one of the dead end sign.

***gibbletz*** · 09-08-2007, 08:14 PM

I dont have my Canon 350D anymore unfortunately.

kelmar · 09-09-2007, 12:04 AM

I really like that dead end sign!

wing - Unfortunately my original idea would require MUCH more then 15 seconds. I'll have to see if I can think up anything else....

**marc-o-lishuz** · 09-09-2007, 12:20 AM

Old photos...

**wing_gundam** · 09-09-2007, 12:38 AM

^ errr any more of these and we're gonna have a tough time topping them for the REAL contest lol

Rpm2 · 09-09-2007, 12:40 AM

^haha come on wing...aim high! I know someone is going to step up.

**wing_gundam** · 09-09-2007, 02:01 AM
