it's here again, sorry for delay, swine flu is all the rage these days

First order of business, major props to last week's contestants and our top 5:

Teyches
^nate^
COLE.
KLD
bdieter1b3

and an e-round of applause to our winner, COLE.

RULES
-Post one photo only
-Try to take the photo during the period of the contest, but this is not required
-You cannot post something you posted in a previous contest
-Winner cannot submit a photo
-No hating other people's photos, constructive criticism is fine

In spirit of the winning photo, COLE. has chosen the topic of long exposure photos

This is a broad topic so incorporate whatever you want, it just needs to be very obvious that you used a longer shutter speed. Take pictures at night, in bad light, or just in ways that represent a long exposure. So break out those tripods, remote releases, or anything helpful and go for it

Here are some sample photos he provided:

https://newschoolers.com/web/content/pictures/id/276874/member_id/114352/

PER REQUEST FROM STATIC AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU WERE GETTING WILDLY CONFUSED UP TO THE VERGE OF SUICIDE, I WILL MAKE THE END TIME EVEN CLEARER

SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE TAKEN PAST 11:59 PM EASTERN TIME NEXT THURSDAY

Have fun with this

when you quote someone complimenting it and say it's not a photo that seems to nullify the compliment somewhat... just sayin that's how i took it.

I quoted him to show what photo I was talking about, and i never said that it wasnt a photo. I said that it didn't look like a photo. In your next post you even said that HDR doesn't look real. My bad if it came off as trying to degrade your photo, but I wasn't. Thats why I started my comment with "I mean no hate" (or something similar).

i think there is a boat coming up to it with lights on or something like that.  I've done that with a couple pictures. used car lights or headlamps instead of a flash.

Such a pity about the lens flare. What lens did you use to take it? Otherwise it's a good photo of a great subject.

Find the image you want.  Click more image sizes if you want a bigger one, then right click and copy the image location.  Paste it into your post between [img][/img] tags.  Should look like this (without the ")

Me doing a backflip.
To take this photo I set the camera to self timer and ran to the trampoline, waited until the 'pips' went fast and bounced one more time, then did the back flip, then jumped off and went out of shot whilst the camera finished the shot! Camera & settings were:

Canon 400D
Canon 50mm 1.8
Velbon Tripod
Nissin flash gun

Aperture 3.2
30 second exposure
ISO 400

Remember to click!

So i entered the first one, but havent entered since.
This was taken in San Francisco back in 2007 i think. I would go out and take one for the comp but i feel this is my most interesting one and there's no other good enough subject matter accesible to me right now. plus its really cold out.Click for larger image

I resent it because very few of these shots were actually shot this week. Ive seen a good portion of these.. Plus I dont think ill have an entry again, Ive only shot 2 LE shots ever. I guess thats what happens when you have a shitty tripod ha..plus this week has sucked dick school wise.. can I just submit my fall photo for this contest and call it even?

I could be wrong and you two just happened to take identical photos, but i doubt it.

I think this justifies a perma ban from all other ns photo contests. Thats pretty low to enter someone else s photo and take credit for it.

How come the resolution is 96 DPI and is the same resolution as you would get off flickr? While your other photos were taken with a D60 and have all their photo information attatched? 

figures someone with ninthward logo would do this..
