Weekly Challenge #399 "In a Flash-Freeze Frame"
Posted By: charliezap, 09-10-2017, 09:50 AM

I hope that this challenge gets your creative and imaginative juices flowing.What I'm looking for is a shot that is made just by using your flash in capturing an instant in time.All my examples were taken at home and were relatively easy to produce.You can use your on board flash--shoe flash or any flash at all. Have some fun with this theme.----charliezap

The challenge will close at midnight Sunday September 17th

The fine print:
Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.

Rules
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 one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax/Ricoh (DSLR) camera can be used.
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

Here are some examples to jump start your thinking.--charliezap

I also have to pass on this one. I hardly ever use a flash. I have photos that qualify for the last 67% but fail on the first 33%

But you never know, we might get a Freeze-Frame, without the flash, somewhere in the future

In the storm

I took a couple of water dripping from my sink shots just in case, but I got at least one good shot from my travels today. I am adamantly a traveler who takes pictures, and I happen to be a weather nerd, and I happen to be in the tail of Talim.

Enjoy.

Not many of this type of shot, so experimented today, with a spinning coin. Caught this just prior to it landing flat
