Assignment 25 - Elements

AnCatDubh

Some great images taken folks. Is this challenge the reason for all this rain besieging the nation perhaps????



An abstract by me of the water element.

Fire on the water

A water drop, a bit boring maybe, but ironically it's been too wet to get out and about :-).
I have a few, but I picked this one cause the water caught the flash and reflected a nice sparkle.

Third post in three years, hope this works and doesn't break a rule (there's lots of rules for us lurkers to read through!) Paragliding from Lion's Head in Cape Town. Air and water

Hi All,

I'll be offline tonight and tomorrow (attending a funeral) so I likely won't have a chance to count the votes and announce the winner tonight. If I haven't posted anything by 10/10:30ish tonight would somebody else mind terribly doing it for me?

Sorry again, unforeseen circumstances.

I think picking the winner of this one will be rather easy

Don't worry about it. One of us will jump in and do it for ya. I'll drop by around the time and do it if no one else has.

Congrats Lynn!
(Just hope she sees this in time as her post in the random thread looks like she won't be around here much for the next 4 months...)

Congrats, Squareballoon.
Until you posted that shot I thought I finally had a shot at winning one of these. Just happy to lose to that magnificent shot.

Thanks for closing the competition m_s.

A worthy winner, brilliant composition.

Well done me for sorting that one out! That new googlewave thread completely side tracked me

Well done Squareballoon. Awesome photo and well deserved

wow, thanks everyone! I'm blown away. (geddit) It's given me a whole new confidence to create something that is apprectiated by other photographers. My daughter's preening and saying that it's down to her but in reality she sat, blew the hearts and then walked away leaving me scrabbling on the floor with a dustpan and brush.

I've added these details elsewhere but just in case...
camera canon 5d
exposure .033 sec
iso 1250
50mm f1.4 and I used the flash with a gary fong diffuser.

because I was using the flash I didn't want anything behind her that she would cast a shadow on so I sat her in the doorway between 2 rooms. It meant she would get some light from the room she was facing and kept the one behind her dark. the hearts are silver table decorations from Woodies.

So with regards to choosing the next assignment as Xia says I will be going away for 4 months from this weekend. So if it's just a matter of posting the theme I could manage that but not if I have to keep any eye on it after that. I'm going to NZ but not bringing my kit with me (gasp) but am taking a friends Nikon d40 (double gasp from a canon girl) I'm also leaving behind my laptop and photoshop (am gibbering now) and bringing a teeney notebook with pay-as-you-go web dongle.
For the next theme I would like to choose either 'death' or 'celebration' so if it's just a case of posting that let me know and if it needs more than that could someone take over the task?

thanks again everyone.

Sorry about that. I'll be more careful in future.
