November Photo Project: GRAY

[morea]

Welcome to the photo project for November! Here are the guidelines:

Please do not upload attachments, as they don't carry over properly into the voting thread.

• You can host photos for free at www.thecreativeforum.com, which will also allow you to put your images into the GDF Photo Gallery(when you upload a photo, just select a GDF destination from the dropdown menu).

• NO PHOTOSHOP or other photo editing software may be used except for processing (cropping, tonal / color adjustments, and resizing) No elements, objects, or images can be cloned, cut out, or taken out of the original image other than what occurs from cropping.

• One entry per member. You may post more than one photo in this thread, but be sure to specify which one you want included in the voting as your entry.

• Ideal image size is 600 pixels wide.

• Cut off date for submitting photos will be November 26th.

The theme is: "GRAY". Happy shooting!

I call it "roadkill preview". Don't know as I've ever seen one in the wild in the upright, breathing position...
Um, shot w/old hp 215 camera, cropped, resized.

[artistsdad]

Actually, that was just a "hey-that's gray, too!" as I was pulling into the driveway;) . This is the one I was going after. Wish I had a zoom. Guess I'll have to borrow the wife's camera next time. Or start carrying my old fuji slr.

I just found the varied shades of gray in the sky and the different shades in the old wood and the metal roof intriguing. Anyway, here 'tis:

Thanks for the tips there, folks. Uh....I didn't read them until I had it figured out though. I done good all my me li'l lonesome:).

Ya'll are awful good to a semi-literate like myself. I appreciate it.

[Red Kittie Kat]

Nice shots =)

[Virgo Nightingale]

Out of curiosity, can you enter photos you've taken 2 years ago or should they be taken specifically for this contest? I have some b/w's that I took for a class that I'd consider entering...

[morea]

oh, feel free to enter older photos. Show us what you've got! (If you post more than one though, just specify which one you want included in the voting thread.) ;)

[Red Kittie Kat]

Mo did you come shoot a pic of my tree :D


Great minds think alike darlin ;)

[morea]

lol, that one was across the street from my house. Some creative cropping allowed me to eliminate the power lines that run right in front of it.

(stupid power lines)

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmao Mo.. I'll be damned if I didn't have to do the same thing :D


Damn power lines are everywhere!


btw... love both your shots .. that second one is stunning :)

[morea]

thank you thank you! :)

[Red Kittie Kat]

Pizza Pizza!!


Oh wait no ... I meant welcome welcome :D

[MyST]

Kind of a grey/gray day for a balloon festival. Might as well get a shot of the plane.

Really nice shots Myst and Gary :)

[MyST]

Morea, I really like your ocean pic over the one of the tree for the contest.

There have been a lot of visually appealing photos submitted so far, but I think that one brings more into the equation. Just looking at the picture, I can feel the coldness of the water, the turbulence of the ocean, and I swear I can hear the waves crashing. Very nice! :)

[morea]

nice shots, guys. Gary, where was that taken?

Thanks MyST. :o

[vtwin_gary]

Gary, where was that taken?

Hatcher's pass. About an hour outside of Anchorage Alaska. When I was there earlier this year. (February)

That is a great shot Broacher

[Red Kittie Kat]

Very nice Broacher :)

[(gra-ph!c-D'sig-nah)]

Does it have to be a picture I took, can it be something I found that I liked!?

[Broacher]

10 minute walk from my house. That's me missus in the shot.

She's more like a twenty-one year walk (so far).

Fuji S5200 in black and white mode.

Yep needs to be a shot you took ;)

Mo has all the rules in the first post darlin ;)


Broacher ... I'm jealous if that is only a 20 minute walk... its beautiful :)

I bet you and the missus have taken many a walks down there :)

[(gra-ph!c-D'sig-nah)]

I did read her first post but I just wanted to be clear! Thank you for informing me....

Nice, Jacki!

[Jackimalyn]

thanks!

[morea]

last call for entries!

[Red Kittie Kat]

now I have that song "closing time" going through my head Mo ;)

[Exodus]

I thought about entering another one and using it instead... but it looks kinda similar to one someone else posted. So, I prolly won't.

[Red Kittie Kat]

aww post it Ex ... I wanna see it :)

[Exodus]

Okay, Red. Here you go. Now I don't know which one I want to use. I'll stick with the first one. So, this one is just for your viewing pleasure. :) This pic was taken the same day I took my "official entry". It is in the same park. (1 mile from my house.)

I think thats a great pic Ex ... thanks darlin ;)

[Exodus]

No problem. One day I'll stop being lazy and post a thread with some of the pics I took that day. Veterans Day I went out and took some pictures around Chickamauga Park.

I forgot a marathon was being held so I had to push people running out of the way with my car. I felt akward because they were jogging and I was eating a Hardee's Frisco Breakfast Sandwich while driving and trying to find a good parking spot.

I was plagued with the threat of rain all day. I was also so cold my nipples got back to my car 10 minutes before I did. I had my camera and borrowed my Dad's Canon AE-1 Program Manual Camera. Those pics turned out great as well. I recieved odd looks as I walked around the park with all that equipment.:rolleyes:
