Unfortunately I did not find an opportunity to go picture hunting last weekend. I hope I will find the time and inspiration on the upcoming weekend :book:

To get the ball rolling I decided to post two pictures that I took during a trip to Rio late last year (unfortunately I did not have my SLR with me during the trip - stupid decision :wall:) - but I will try to follow up with some "fresh" content :beam:

The image is actually a crop; that's why the crow is just "where it's supposed to be" at such a high resolution. Took the image almost one month ago; that'll have to do. ~;)

Thank you.

Nice submissions so far. :2thumbsup: Ser's Rio dancer is going to be hard to beat.

I finally remembered to setup for my shot at this motion exercise: camera on tripod inside my van at night. Specifics: ISO 1600, shutter speed 1 second, f/10, 18-55mm zoom lens at 18mm. I took about 30 shots, here are the best two:

I have another type of motion shot I really like, which is a drummer with a 1-2 second exposure. I took some shots at some shows that last couple of weekends, so I'll see what I got.

What's your gear Viking? Loads'a pixels on your camera I guess?

good exposure and nice scene R`as :)

Fantastic pics Greg, did you use a remote control for your camera? It's very...very shake free. 1 sec is a long time for a moving camera (even your speedometer(?)) is sharp. I like the first one best by the way.

Nice idea Greg to mention the image specs. (aperature, shutterspeed, iso). -these can be found under file properties, advanced, exif data.

It's a Canon PowerShot SX100 IS and got 8 mega pixels. Not sure how that compares to today's standards.

Thanks Mith. I used a wired remote. I have a wireless remote but it was not working that night. Its battery is going or I goofed on setting the camera to recognize it. As for shake free, I think it is a matter of low light higher-f/stop in that the exposure just doesn't pick up the small shakes. If you noitice, the light streaks aren't stright but a little wavy. The brighter source showing the shake more than the dimmer console lights. The situation worked to my advantage. I was pleasantly surprised at the results seeing I guessed at the setting and the tripod tipped making a turn before both these shots. Fortunately my son caught the tripod and then eyeballed the aim...perfectly. Attaboy! ~:pat:

Probably the battery, somehow those things run out very quickly, it may be an idea to take it out of the remote when you don't use it.

Again, very nice pictures.

When shall we change theme? Or shall we run 2 themes at the same time?

Other themes:

1. macro - get up close to something
2. in your house - take an interesting shot of something in your house/apartment
3. pets
4. plants/flowers
5. dawn/sunset
6. transportation - pictures of people getting around

Melikes transportation as a 2nd theme.

current themes:
-Motion
-Transportation

Here's another entry for the Motion theme: One second of a drummer's performance

https://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h...ep20_0472L.jpg

Exposure info: tripod, shutter speed 1 second, f/7.6, ISO 1600

This isn't the best drummer picture I've taken, but the best since the start of the Motion theme.

This is taken March this year with my cellphone 100 yards from my home.

Nice drummer... eh picture ;).

Never took a tripod to a concert (and probably never will) but it worked great in this shot Greg.

Thanks for posting your black&white ( ;) ) picture SigFaf.

I've been meaning to contribute to this thread for a while, so here goes.

For the Transport theme, some gondolas in the Grand Canal, Venice from earlier in the year.

I think the composition is a bit too busy but at least I managed to avoid hordes of tourists in the picture... :beam:

Well, I can't compete with you guys, but here we go:

All three were taken in Malta, in 2006.

I like that idea of themes every two weeks...

Here is one I took at Old Town Sacramento during the 4th of July weekend. It's got transportation and motion (I love Black and White Pictures :yes:)
