NS Photo Contest, Week 24!!

FIRST AND FOREMOST – THIS IS AN ACTIVE PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST AND YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE YOUR PHOTO WITHIN THE SUBMISSION TIMEFRAME. You have two weeks.

Congrats to the Top 5 that we had with the ‘FORM’ topic.

1. Ducky.
2. steezeeepolizeee
3. salkley
4. JamesH
5. SkeeOrDye

And congrats to the winner, SkeeOrDye, with his photo:

As a result of winning, he got to choose this week’s topic:


Potential Energy


A representation of potential energy should contain a subject that is about to release built up energy. The image should cause the viewer to immediately play, in their imagination, what is inevitably going to happen. So the image could have a bowling ball teetering on the edge of a cliff, someone about to fall on their face, or simply a loaded gun. The key here will be how well you can inspire a "that thing is going to...." episode in the audience’s imagination.

Examples:

Rules:
-you may post 1 PHOTO ONLY
-you have TWO WEEKS to capture your photo
-no hating on photos, constructive criticism only
-we will have a voting thread to determine the top 5, then we will vote again to find the winner
-post your own photos (no stealing! You will be banned from the contest)
-click on embedded photos before judging, NS sucks the life out of them
-winner chooses the next topic
-you cannot win 2 times in a row, you can win twice, just not in a row
-PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go out and shoot! Do your best to not pull any files because it goes with the topic. We’re looking to have this be an active photography contest.


SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER 11:59PM PST ON MONDAY DECEMBER 13TH

Good luck!!!

Just thought about taking a shot like this last night while I was splitting wood. Too bad whitewater season is running down, the river's full of potential energy. Sounds like a fun topic.

some pole vault plants perhaps? maybe get a gnarly shot of a good bend mid swing up? lots of potential at a meet.

Yeah, but the problem is that I'm a vaulter myself, so I'm gonna be busy jumping during the vault. I'm thinking maybe getting my buddy in the blocks right before the gun or something. But yeah, a track meet is perfect for this one!

energy of the potential type.
justifications will be given if needed since its already an enrgy. Il just do it now actualy. the explosive nature of the flames give the impression that there is more energy coming, that its going to amplify and explode

Maybe it would be helpful if I put the rules in the beginning rather than the end? Might be a good change. I see this from time to time.

So much skiing, so little shooting. I think I'll spend the next few weeks shooting this subject just for me because it's fun.
