MPC #72 - Speed (8/27 - 9/2)

[HankScorpio]

EDIT MPC #72 starts on 8/26

EDIT NO. 2 MPC #72 WILL BE EXTENDED UNTIL 9/5. I'll give you guys the long weekend to shoot and post some more.

I love it. You love it. On skis, bikes, in cars, whatever, it's more fun when it's fast. Capturing speed on a still picture has always been exciting. Hope you guys have fun with it.

2. You may submit 3 photos during the competition.

It's true! That's why I need the mpc for practice! It's all I have!

I'll accept that in my case, but I almost got fantastically lucky last night. Had a meteor do the fireball thing right in front of the camera while I was getting a Milky Way shot over Mt Hood. It passed through the frame and just barely got cut off.

I don't know how fast those things go, but I'll bet it's fast enough for the MPC. I'll have to post my near miss later.
