WINNER : Uh Oh

Canon EOS 1000D , 50 mm , f1.8 , 1/10 , ISO 400 . set up the camera on a tripod with a locking shutter release , lock it just did a lilliputian shadowboxing at the photographic camera . Took about 200 shots to get the focus and blur just justly . Post - process using Nik filters to get that Street Fighter IV - ish look .
I image this workweek ’s challenge fit perfectly for another hobby of mine ; box . blink away is a dangerous thing to do when you ’re in punch grasp of your opponent . You just might miss that jutting of the shoulder precede a right hybrid and open your heart to a very foggy confining - up thought of imitation leather hitting you in the nose .

Ingnition
think long and knockout with a one 10th shutter speed , and using the root “ what could I lack during a nictitation ? ” I add up up with the idea of a spark . This is the electronic igniter on my kitchen cooktop showing the Muriel Sarah Spark . My thoughts were that the before shot would show nothing and the after shot would show flame , but this is what I missed while blinking . Olympus EPL-3 , M. Zuiko 14 - 24 mm @42 mm , f5.6

whirl
I attended the first Nox of the Howard County Fair in Maryland on Saturday … The square saltation was open to the world , so there was a premix of experienced dancer and some pull in from the hearing . I deliberately had the Gizmodo Challenge in intellect and decide to try a 1/10 shutter upper to catch the vortex of a skirt . The timing worked out well for this shot as one of the puffier skirts come into my line of vision . I especially like how some of her leg disappears in the catch effort .

He Might Just Gitcha
Here is my meekness . It is my Mr. Potatohead that I keep on my desk . The way the light hits him sometimes is out-and-out creepy . I took this picture at the 1/10 of a 2nd requirement while zooming out from 200 mm to 70 mm to give him an even creepier caliber … As though he might just gitcha 😉 Just seem at those vacuous , soulless eyes , staring right at you . It makes you not require to wink for reverence he might amount alive . * frisson * Its always the most barren thing that can give us the most uneasy feelings when they appear in ways unlike than what we are used to . Canon 40D , 70 - 200 f/4 Non IS Canon Lens , f/4 , Shutter @ demand 1/10 , ISO @ 400

Yawn
This is my puppy Bella . She ’s a Jug ( that ’s a Jack Russell and a Pug ) , and she is my muse . She ’s always sleeping curled up somewhere and I caught this shooting on my Canon T1i while she was catch a wink this morning on a couch pillow .

shoot at 1/10 shutter swiftness on a Canon T1i with IS 18 - 55 lens system with flash turned on , lily-white balance calibrated for twinkling , then thrown into Aperture just to tone down the heat and sum up a vignette . I draw her to gape by titillate her belly . 🙂

16 - Day Blink

I took this shot on Saturday in London Southbank – this is the cultural heart of London near the money box of the river Thames . I originally went there to take a photograph of the London Eye – during the Olympic Games the London Eye displays different colours base on the sentiments of mass ’s Twitter feeds . Once I got there this fun fair drive catch my eye . I was fascinated with the different shapes I got depending on the shutter focal ratio . At 1/10 of a second base it had this dream like appearance and with the star in the midsection became almost witching . Canon EOS 5D Mark II , 24 - 70 lens at 55 mm , f/2.8 , ISO 800 and 1/10

Boonton Falls

I like the effect you get when you shoot endure water at 1/10 , so I decide to point to the local Fall for this contest . I shot this photo at Boonton Falls in NJ . I do up a tripod at the sharpness of the falls and used my Canon Rebel EOS and my 50 millimetre prime lens at 1/10 , f18 .

This Is Not The Dominicus

Not the surface of the sunlight – So I adjudicate a number of thing around the house without any achiever . I was about to give up & go to bed . I had eaten way too much at the all you’re able to eat Sushi Buffet & was about to start on my pre bedtime alka seltzer ritual when I though that might make a cool exposure . I do n’t have a macro lens of the eye so I had to make due with my 18 - 200 lens . I setup a tripod over a magniloquent orange plastic cup , positioned a torch & dropped the effervescent tablets in . The shutter speed yielded some unexpected results . Since I positioned a torch on the side of the cup I did not apply the flash so I could get the affect you see here . Canon EOS REBEL T1i , F - Stop f/5.6 , Exposure 1/10 sec . , ISO-100

Kick Ball

This is my first entry and I had a heap of fun hopefully I will get to do a lot more in the future . Took this at Saturday ’s disappointing game at Yankee stadium but at least I had fun shooting and had great subject area level seat that did n’t cost me and my friends a dime except for the beer of course . Took this with a Nikon D5100 , Tamron 18 - 270 mm crystalline lens , ISO 100 , f 6.3 , and manifestly 1/10 sec exposure . I also used a variable ND filter so I could get the field of view and shallow as potential but I still had to try using Photoshop CS6 ’s blur tools to narrow it even more also a first fourth dimension . A wad of first on this shoot and a lot of fun .

Laser Cut

A co - worker call me in to seem at a neat effect that was being generated by our optical maser cutter as he was making gaskets . I had just read the shot challenge and thought that the Muriel Spark and psyche apparent movement might be captured well at a shutter speed of 1/10s . I turned out the lights and shot it with a Canon T3i with the kit 18 - 55 mm lens system at 400 ISO , f/18 .

Soft Focus Fountain

Just walking in the village of Tuebingen , which is an ancient university town located in the swabian alps of southwest Germany . This is hand - held , no tripod . dart with my Canon EOS 7D with my 28 - 135 m lens system , as well as battery inner circle tot up - on , gives me enough free weight to where I can shoot down to 1/10th of a 2d without much blur . This picture is of a fountain in the principal foursquare of the settlement . Canon EUS 7D , Canon 28 - 135 mm IS lens system , ISO 400 , 1/10 sec , f/14

shed

Knocking things over is something that happens in the blink of an eye , or 1/10 of a second . For me , it ’s usually something that makes a mess . For this challenge , I decided to project a spilling cup of water system . I knock it over and had my sister hold in the shutter button to take multiple snapshot at 1/10 . Canon Rebel t2i , F/25 , Shutter 1/10

sail

After oeuvre I got home , clean the kitchen and bathroom , had a few beers and decided it was a double-dyed evening for a bike drive . I grabbed my television camera and go pro camera . climb on the go pro on my motorcycle for a time lapsing , and begin pedaling . I ride around Washington Park in Albany , NY before heading down to Lark street and then lastly to the Empire State Plaza . I saw a few hoi polloi twit monocycle in the plaza and took some photo of them , rode around a piddling longer and then decided to lead back . As I was leaving the piazza and take this last photograph of The Egg while riding by . Whenever I go out for a shoot like this one , I ordinarily deform off my review time so I do n’t see the photos until I ’m back home . I felt that this photo was a gem . Camera : Canon 5d mark ii , 24 - 105 F4 L at 45 mm , ISO 200 , Shutter Speed : 1 / blink

Since it was raining the whole sidereal day , my options were limited , so I click the Pisces in my aquarium at 1/10 , only to discover that bubbles in the aquariums made lovely streaks ( like shoot whizz ) around the out - of - focus - fish ( because they move fast ) due to slow shutter , which fuse with their open - mouthed manifestation of “ awe ” made interesting but uncanny , disorderly , dreamy exposure . To try again , I move to a nearby shopping shopping centre in the even after rains and stop up experimenting with 1/10 shutter at its fountain for a while . The spewing weewee at 1/10 made interesting form consanguine to distressing man , dainty peeress in gowns , an angel and even a detent . But I chose this one because with a little shadow & play up reduction and increase in saturation , it calculate as if molten metal is being teem into a cup . Its an average click but the I plant it a complete oxymoron because it is the “ coolheaded ” water nominate such a “ hot ” word picture . I am glad to be able to station my first entry after missing last weeks deadline on bug , despite fool away 18 unequalled bugs include mating ladybeetle . Equipment & preferences- Canon 7D , 18 - 55 mm lense at 35 mm , 1/10 , ISO 1600 , Tv mode , f/8
