OK - since it seems nobody else wants to start, I'll go ahead and post my submission of "Speed".

vievetrick · 12-12-2006, 06:36 PM

Okay longing for days of summer and Red Sox Baseball. Sorry everyone outside the USA. One I took back in 2005 at Fenway Park. He was safe on this play but they got him a few pitches later.

Gotta get this going. It's is a grainy shot, but it was handheld, 1/125sec, 300mm, f6.3 and 1600 ISO and no flash. 6:15pm in the evening as the sun was already down. By all counts, not a picture perfect picture, but I was able to capture a shot I could not have with my previous camera.

Speed = High ISO,
Speed = My son's final kick to the finish
SPeed = My ability to capture his expression
Speed = Priceless!

This was taken during a sunday afternoon walk; not sure if this demonstrates speed

roentarre · 12-13-2006, 04:11 AM

Scott! This pic is so cute and adorable! I smiled when your image came up. Worth a million dollars!

Scott Rylance · 12-13-2006, 03:36 PM

Thanks James...HAha likewise, I smiled when I saw the shot that Joel posted of you and your A*300, it's not dorky though. ;^)

Great effect

I'm from chicago, but I must say I love Boston.. Was there for the first time this summer. Def. want to visit again, especially when I get my K100D

Go redsox

The ground drums to a primitive muffled
almost hollow sound
-
Squeeze the ribs, kiss the lips
the legs gather centered strength
-
You flex to the muscular undulations
becoming the movement
-
Drinking the wind, steel tipped hooves
spin the world beneath
-
Breath blasting from nostrils
when a jackrabbit explodes into flight
-
Tears stream toward your ears
nothing but the shear joy of movement
-
To ride on such wings, to leap into the sky.

Flaco I am a big Sox

fan and could send you a link to some of my shots from over the past year or two. There is nothing like seeing a game at Fenway. Even if you hate the Sox

it is just awesome.

Forgive the quality here. In my SPEED to post this, I now see that it is extremely noisy, but given the conditions that I shot it in (almost dark), I will get some forgiveness, but I doubt an award. :-)
