MPC #123 - Blue Jeans 6/4 -6/19

[Tap]

Yeahhhhhh buddy. Happy to be able to host again. BTW, for any that are curious, that moon shot was created using The Photographers Ephemeris, a cool app that will show you where and at what time on the horizon the sun/moon will rise/set. I hope you all are able to put it to good use, you all certainly have the skill and the artistic eye.

OK, for for the next 2+ weeks, we're focusing on blue jeans. Ubiquitous and iconic, let's see the different ways blue jeans can be captured in a photo. And yes, sexy curves in jeans will be judged accordingly.

RULES:
1. Photos must be taken within the time period of the contest.
2. You may submit 3 photos during the competition.
3. The contest moderator will choose 5 photos to be voted on.
4. The winner will get a happy feeling in his/her pants. (That is a rule by the way, not an option.)
5. In the event of a tie, the contest moderator will have the deciding vote.
6. Winner will be the contest starter/moderator for the next comp.
7. The winner has 3 days to start a new contest or 2nd place becomes the new winner.

Are you guys just hating this topic? People do a lot in blue jeans, I figured, but the lack of entries have me a bit puzzled.

[geomorph]

The MPC participation has been sparse of late. I don't think it is a terrible topic but just something that might not come about in the day to day shooting of folks here.

[grskier]

I went to the Rodeo last night and totally forgot my camera.... I got there and was so disappointed in myself for screwing up that opportunity.

[Tap]

OK, let's stick with it, weekend coming up

grskier....double the pressure, now. you can do it.

[geomorph]

[grskier]

Do jorts count?
edit for smaller version...

[From_the_NEK]

Can we extend this over the next weekend? I haven't had a chance to get the shots I've been thinking about.

[Tap]

I'd be more than happy to extend it...so far we don't need a poll to put geomorph as the winner. Sorry this didn't spark you's guy's imaginations.......

[geomorph]

Extend it for another weekend. I'd like to see more than 5 entries. Thanks for the props though.

[Tap]

EXTENDED! C'mon maggots, you can do this. Stretch yourself. Blue jeans are on legs, legs are on people, people go places and do things.

missed the DoF on this one. Jon Medeski's foot.

You can't see their pants under their coveralls, but the guys who work on the cables of the Golden Gate Bridge are blue jeans as f---

[From_the_NEK]

Well, I didn't quite get what I wanted. But here are a few entries.

Dad's jeans and 2 year old son's jeans:


Attempt at making a mountain landscape shot out of an old pair of jeans:


Blue jean wormhole:


Unfortunately, I didn't have access to my computer that has Lightroom on it.

[geomorph]

So is this thing dead or what?

[grskier]

So is this thing dead or what?

Let's get a voting thread up... busy time of year.. I need to just keep the camera in the car with me.

[Tap]

no disrespect to the others, I just don't have the time right now to deal with making a poll.

Geomorph, you win. Just make a new photo contest and we'll leave contest #123 as a lesson to choose your topics wisely (duh, I shoulda done "numbers")

thanks to Geo, grskier, wiilbert, fromtheNEK, and phildo for entering photos and giving this topic a shot.
