This months photo topic is "Sports" -- A chance to photograph some action shots. Happy shooting! Again, the rules are simple: Should be be using some canon gear , this is a canon forum after all. Shot with the assignment in mind, go out and shoot something new don't dig up something from the archives. and most importantly have fun.
happy to go with sports but we did have it same time give a month last year. i'd challenge it with Head, shoulders knees and toes - all things so named, not just species body parts, i'll add that to my list for later use and differ to sports this month
No worries, Sports was actually 2022, i double checked before I used it. Mid fall is a pretty busy time for sports in schools and professionally so its a good time for the challenge. I know we talked how there will be a bit of a reset the last year as we have covered probably 60 challenges at that point. My main goal is not to use something from the current/first page, i know we will start recycling challenges, I don't think that's actually a bad thing to come back and re approach a topic. Lets give some extra time for people to think of head shoulders....toes, I can think of a few exceptions to body parts but putting them together really focuses on the human ones all i think of is the childhood song. We will aim for Dec or Jan ... sometimes i like to give people a bit a simple holiday one because it can be a busy time for many, but we def don't have to go with a easy Dec topic..
This image was taken at Sandybay beach in Southern Tasmania 15 minutes from Hobart of the sport of swimming
Chess is a sport, although it is only recognized by 100 countries of the International Olympic Committee. There is a classic move that in Spanish uses the word “enrocar”, which is translated in English as “castling”, which is strange because in Spanish there is the word “encastillar”, which means the same thing. This is the first image.
The second image is the image of checkmate, I have left the image of the fallen king and I have forced the word “(derrocar )” which means “overthrow” in English, but the sixth meaning of the Spanish dictionary means fallen object, although it is no longer used for this meaning, so I have made a play on two words that have the same root.
Thanks Craig, I too haven't played for many years, I used to play with my younger brother who died in an accident in 1984, and he used win me which made me almost always which made me quite angry. I will now send a new interpretation which is the following photo is an invitation to figure skating. Just in case I step on the banana peel.
A comfortable way to watch a basketball game, it's been my favorite sport these last few years. I guess with more intensive post-processing the photo would be fixed.
A fine example of the Arm-chair sportsman where prior preparation is seen in the image and is important so as not to miss any of the action but the half time break allows for top-up of essentual supplies.
just in time ish i don't do much in the way of sports but my partner Ruth took part in the Hackney 10k run today so while i was walking around the coarse in the opposite direction i saw an opportunity to get some water handover shots this is what i had in mind when i saw the station and happy to have gotten the shot i wanted canon M50 + sigma 17-50mm ƒ2.8 50mm, 1/1000 ss, 1600 sausages, af : one shot.
It's time for the December photo Challenge so may I suggest Shopping as the subject, since it is that time of the year, there is lots of colour lighting and displays around, I do not think we have done this one yet.
sure lets do that, its kinda a give me month where anyone can spin as they like. I'll get that posted shortly.
