Photo Assignment #5 - Liquid Motion

[StarWatcher]

Use this thread for posting shots previously taken, or current shots asking questions, or just talking about the assignment. We'll open up a different post a few days before the contest assignment ends for you to post your actual submission entry. Your submission entry can be something new or one you posted here, but the picture HAS to be taken between now and Monday May 18th midnight. A winner will be chosen sometime after midnight Monday and announced at that time. The winner will then post the next two week assignment topic and so forth.

The assignment is to photograph a liquid in motion. Anything from a waterfall with soft flowing lines:

to a drop frozen in time:

and anything in between.

These were all taken on the same day, around noon, in December last year at The Harbor in Rockwall.

[TexasShadow]

If I interpret this right, you are looking for the 'liquid-like' effects of moving water, yes?

[StarWatcher]

Wow, these are some great images!

TexasShadow, not just water but any liquid in motion will work; water, milk, honey, molassas, motor oil, .....

All, remember the time constraints for your official entry images ( not necessarily the images in this thread ). The image has to have been shot sometime between the time I posted last night and midnight May 18th.

--Mike

[Desert Skies]

..... the picture HAS to be taken between now and Monday May 18th midnight.....

Looks like a lot of you are out on the road having a blast this week. :lol2:

[TexasShadow]

Oil would be very interesting to photograph because of its inherent characteristics, especially viscosity. It refracts light very differently from water.

FREAKING RULES!!!!!

I'm out of these things then.

If you've been following the threads, there is a photo assignment that spans about 12-14 days or so. There are TWO threads associated with the assignment to include 1) the assignment topic posted by the previous assignments winner. In that assignment topical thread you can post work from any time period, past or present, ask for comment, critique, help etc. 2)the actual assignment ENTRY thread. This thread is opened up about 3 or 4 days prior to the midnight deadline. This is for you to post a single picture, taken in the specified time period for the assignment.

The current judge will evaluate and critique the ENTRY postings at which point the thread is open to comment. The winner from that will then post the next assignment topic and the process repeats.




FREAKING RULES!!!!!

I'm out of these things then.

No reason to bail because of the rules. This forces everyone to shoot the assignment in the specified period of time. Otherwise, folks could simply pull from their extensive photo archives that match the topic without so much as burning a pixel. So bear with us and I look forward to your entry on this one!

[BexarWolf]

I have ideas. :trust:

This is a first attempt but I'm refining. I'll probably change receptacle and choice of beverage. :)

Had I known we were gonna be motioning fluids, I'd have picked a better brew but a lot of this cheap stuff ended up going down my neck and chest anyways. It's hard to gauge where your mouth is from afar. :lol2:

For inspiration, one of my favorite photographers:
Franz Lanting. (http://www.lifethroughtime.com/photographing.html#)

He has several outstanding fluid motion photographs in his gallery. Click on 'Start the Journey' link in left hand navigation column.

[Photojojo]

this one is good too, talk about right place at the right time :rofl:
BTW who is that?

That would be Scott Hobbs from Tulsa OK. he rode that little 250 from Tulsa to Clayton loaded with everything but the kitchen sink on a bald knobby and then proceeded to show a few others riders how to ride a dirt bike. He's got skills. :rider:

And to toot my own horn, that photo is also in the front page rotation on advrider.com

[Tourmeister]

Here's one from one of our first bike trips. It is at Hodges Gardens in Louisiana.

Hehe... no. Taken in broad daylight, no flash, with my old Nikon N70 (35mm).

[M38A1]

This is not easy...... I burned a bunch-o-pixels today and this is about all that came out of it. I shot f/stops all over the place and shutter speeds from 1/15th to 1/250th. I tried under/over exposure. I think I'm going to have to try those moving scenic water/creek shots next. Problem is, all the creeks are dry around here!

Here's an old one of mine. It is Irondawg on his R1150GS when we were up in Arkansas some years back. It actually made the front page of Advrider for a while.

Different trip, same falls, note the HUGE rock now laying across the pavement. It was about the size of a semi trailer. I saw another recent ride report with a pic of these falls and it looks like they have cleared away the stone. It was previously part of the overhang that made the falls. I would have hated to be there when it fell! :eek2:

http://www.twtex.com/linkfiles/082104NorthCarolina/DSC02350.JPG

:tab Different trip again, to same state

http://www.twtex.com/linkfiles/082104NorthCarolina/DSC02307.JPG

:tab There is actually a person standing to the right of the falls in the above pic, about mid way up the right side of the image. Follow the angled rock up from the water to the right, just at the end of the rock, look up a bit right at the edge of the woods. It is an adult male. There were signs everyone about how many people die each year from slipping on wet rocks near waterfalls :doh:

You can see him better in this image

Not too far from the falls above on a lonely little backroad

Still in the same state, but totally different area
http://www.twtex.com/linkfiles/082104NorthCarolina/DSC02366.JPG

Remember what I said about people getting killed slipping on wet rocks? :doh:

B

[M38A1]

A for me. B is too dark for a 'summertime' type shot IMO.

[pacman]

I like A too. I like seeing a bit more of the pipe, and the blurry background suggests a lush green setting, something water goes hand in hand with.

[pacman]

Taken with a P&S, so the quality isn't great.
