Weekly Challenge #200-POINT
Posted By: noelcmn, 04-01-2012, 08:46 AM

Looking through all the previous Challenges to see if this one has been done, and I see it is not. POINT. A bit ambiguous, but I will leave it to everyone's imagination. There must be some point-an actual point, like that of a pencil. or a pyramid structure. Pointing fingers are included, as is a point of view, but that must be clearly defined such as a well captured argument, expressing a point of view. Panoramic views, while they can be considered as being a point of view, are not inlcuded and wiill be disqualified. Architechture, churches, birds all fall within the scope of this challenge

This competition is open from now until midnight GMT on Saturday 7 April 2012, South African time.

The fine print....
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread, and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung DSLR) camera will do.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

Some of you have seen this one before, but like Joe, I thought of it immediately. It certainly has lots and lots and lots of points. The title is "Dont Blink!" K10D, FA 20-35 @28mm, F/9.0 1/160 sec.

This is great! I have been thinking about a high speed setup for awhile now. What do you use, sound triggers?

To RX,

Yes, I used a sound trigger built from a kit I purchased on-line for less than 20 bucks.
