Thread: The Weekly Challenge 8 - 13 June.

This is one of my oldest photos... but definitely unexpected. I was framing up the canal scene when I saw the cyclist and waited for him to come into view. I didn't see the balloon until I dropped my camera from my eye...

You can imagine my surprise when I looked beneath this mushroom and found a miniature version of myself doing a shot for the flickr group Face-Down Tuesday. If you've never seen the group and like wacky photos... check it out...... Flickr: Face-down Tuesday


The Search for Self by Lukinosity, on Flickr

You're crazy, Luke! But you do try.

I shot this pic yesterday morning. A flock of geese took off all of a sudden when I was walking past the creek...managed to fire a few shots and this looked the best!

Less than 20 hours to post an image - we have some good ones but the field is rather small.

This one was "strolling" on its own, just like me:

I have a million shots in my head that occured at that unexpected moment when I didn't have a camera with me! We all have had those moments, I'm sure. Anyhow sometimes when the sun moves and brings light through the window at a certain angle things happen! This was shot with my Pentax Q:

Still room for more images and about 10 hours left to post.

I was in Brixham a couple of weekends ago to photograph the Brixham sailing trawler race. I was well placed when the Torbay lifeboat unexpectedly put to sea in answer to a distress call from a vessel some 8 miles out to sea. I was able to take a series of shots, all manually focused with an Olympus 50-200mm, f/2.8-3.5 zoom on a Panasonic GH2. Here the lifeboat meets the choppy sea head on as it punched into the strong ESE wind.
