  • DPNow Salon Competition No.132- Lights, Camera, ACTION!

    I've wrestled quite a bit with this one. I have a few ideas that don't appear to have been used yet but I kept finding myself coming back to the same theme - Action shots. Your assignment is to enter a photograph depicting action of some sort. That gives you wide latitude. To give you a little insight into how my thought processes work, here are a few shots from my archives.



    Ready? Lights, Camera, ACTION!
    The Rules

    1. All photographs are to be uploaded to the photo gallery at http://dpnow.com/galleries/

    They can be put in members own gallery if they wish. The resulting link generated for the photo will then be pasted into the next available space in the salon tread. Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixel wide so people can see the whole image without scrolling.

    2. One entry per user ID only please, which must be the personal work of the entrant.

    3. Entries should be "in line" within the thread (not as a links to an image held somewhere else).

    4. Comments only on entries are welcome within the salon thread itself.

    5. After the close the curator will indicate a winner and a couple of runners up.

    6. The curators decision is final.

    7. Winners should be offered first refusal to choose the next theme and curate the next salon.

    8. If the winner is unable to curate the next salon the current curator may offer that "honour" to any willing volunteer, possibly the entrant in second or third place.

    9. These rules are to be copied and pasted with the new theme by the curator at the top of the new salon thread with a finish date and time.

    10. As with all photos posted on DPNow, copyright remains with the photographer and DPNow will not use them without permission.

    The salon will run to Midnight 25th October GMT


    Good luck have fun!

    I have been trying to think of a title for this shot. "Lights, Camera . . . Action" is probably better than anything I have come up with so far!

              I thought this one I took a couple of days ago would fit the brief.

                I've heard of the 'Gold Rush' and now I've seen the 'Gabe Rush'.

                    a bit of info about this one....

                    shot at a mountainbike 'uplift' day a few years ago. slowish shutter speed of 1/30s, 2nd curtain off camera radio triggered flash (strapped to a tree on my left). has been cropped from the original 10mm focal length image. only other editing is levels / curves. this guy is about 4 or 5 ft off the deck and going at a fair lick

                      My effort:

                      Just because cliches are cliches does not make them wrong. I do like walking in the rain.

                          There were action, lights... or fire not much of a difference. Looks like the camera was also there but operator could have had done a bit better job.
