Nice choice in topic man. I got a new tripod and hopefully I'll have something respectable to offer for this one.

Zebulon Bowles from last night's HBR/Emmitt-Nershi show at the Independent in SF, eligible by a few minutes.

I've been taking these every Sunday AM for a few weeks now (this one was shot this AM). We are 14 weeks preggers on Tuesday and I wanted to document Scottie's body changes over that time. This was basically the same shot I was going to post up for "waiting", before I spaced the deadline. Thanks Splitter for posting a topic where 1) I could use this shot, and 2) I didn't have to think to hard on what I was going to do.

If you guys feel this one is a little on the NSFW side, I'll change it to just a link. I work at a pretty strick work environment, and felt it was ok.

[hemas]

Too bad this was taken a few days before the contest period...

We are 14 weeks preggers

You're pregnant, too? Let's see the pictures!

The picture is fine, BTW. Definitely SFW.

[outabounds]

Congrats, Lonnie.

[pbourdon]

Congrats Lonnie for sure!

Here's my first entry. Cliche´ as all hell.



Gotta find a nice open field where I can find an isolated tree. Its hard to do around here believe it or not. Michigan has a lot of damn trees.

This might not quite fit into the silhouette definition, but it's close. Taken at the CAIC fundraiser on Saturday.

so far this seems like a topic everyone can get down on...

this is going to be hard to whittle down in a couple weeks...

congrats lonnie!

Here's one I like, but shot it on the 11th, two days before deadline.

Just after these fellas had finished destroying the skin track.

Nice! I was pretty pissed I missed that sunset...not today though (if there is one).

[Southeast Maggot]

Fantastic sunset in DC during my run this evening. Only had the iPhone, but managed to capture the AFM during the last of magic hour. #1:

[advres]

NOT-ELIGIBLE but if I get an opportunity in the time frame I will retake it, hopefully better.

[Lane Meyer]

Silhouette of rocks, East Shore. Little low with the GND filter, and I probably should have done a 2EB to bring detail back into the backs of the rocks in the upper half, but I like the light on the twig. Docks, rocks, and lakes.

^sick.

lots of good shots for this one....splitter I think you're going to have a hard time narrowing things down.

#3: Was trying to get the light to look like steam rising from the cup. Didn't succeed completely, but oh well...

yup, I'm glad everyone is feeling this theme, but I got my work cut out for me...

[Southeast Maggot]

^^Fuzz, what's your lens for #2? Ridiculous bokeh.

#2 for me:
