Thanks very much, Dan Twas, sitting inside sipping my coffee when I saw her running, she stopped, looked back, started yelling
and I just waited for the inevitable to happen

Cheers,

Thanks, Jack, it was taken on my E-1 in about 2008, just after I'd bought it. Still think this is a better handing camera than those that followed it.

 

Yes, the viaduct at Chappel. I keep trying different compositions of it, but seldom get anything that I'm happy with.

 

Depends on your opinion regarding pigeons ...

 

Ok Jack, I need to know, what was the inevitable thing that happened?

 

what you saw in the photo, Dan

Cheers,

Jack

 

We have, IMHO, the winner . Great shot, Sam

Jack

 

Well done, Sam, you're bringing out your A game . Those, both, a cracking shots

Cheers,

Jack

 

This is my final one, an RC car 'attacking' a fast-food container.

 

Hi all, so November draws to a close and it's time to pick a winner!

I have to say that it has been quite difficult. I started short-listing and the list got to 14, then grew some, which was no help to me at all but perhaps indicates how much I liked the entries, So a big thank-you to everyone who took part as I this will turn into a very long post if I mention everyone individually.

I was for ages pivoted between Nigel's Tuc-Tuc #23 and Geren's sparkler #69 while trying to argue to myself why windswept man 2 #2 shouldn't sweep the board. The sheer timing needed to capture the skateboarder #19, hit a moving tube train window #26, and the madness of the back-flip #85 really deserve mention. Dan's wave #63 I liked too, it is hard to get a good shaped one. I was also immediately struck by the perfectness of the (un)intentional camera movement by Kath in #19, I am so glad that no hurt resulted, and the intentional movement in #8 and #55 by Kate. Mike's mallard also made for some interesting movement in #35. The mix of bustle and serenity of the station #40 got me too.

It is all so difficult but I think I am going to nominate Sam for the bungee jump #73. I passed it over the first time, mainly because bungee jumps make me cringe desperately, but looking again it is frozen movement - you know she is accelerating at 9.81 m/s/s but it all looks so still. Goodness knows what she is thinking at that moment! I really liked Sam's other shots too - #91 was a candidate and I loved the humour of the aeronaut #86.

So well done Sam, you can go Footloose on the next topic!

Thank you to everyone! Pete.

 

Thank you Pete - and many congratulations to a worthy winner! Looking forward to Footloose's next challenge!

 

Thanks Pete, great theme and well done Footloose, excellent shot

 

Thanks for a great theme Pete! Congrats aplenty to Sam - looking forward to seeing what you come up with now!

 

Congrats to Pete for choosing the winner and to Sam (Footloose) having the winner and a
bunch of great photos, in general

Cheers,

Jack

 

Oh, I wasn't expecting this to happen! However, I have come up with another theme, but it seems I haven't the 'permissions' to do so. How do I go about starting December's new thread?
