Weekly Challenge #540- Silhouette or Very High Contrast
Posted By: AstroDave, 07-12-2021, 07:18 PM

I hope this is how you post the next weekly challenge!

Thank you noelcmn for choosing my water drop collision as the winner of Challenge #539. I do hope to get around to posting a forum submission of how I go about such pictures.

Now I have to come up with a subject. I've been wondering for a while what I would come up with if I ever won one of these little contests, little thinking I ever would(!), so now I have to produce!

Show me what you've got in the way of silhouettes or very high contrast subjects.

Here are the (usual!) rules (just copied from Adam's contest listing)

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 (or Samsung 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.

Contest runs through the end of Monday, July 19 (2021) US Mountain Standard Time (Arizona does not observe Daylight Savings Time)

Here are a few of my ideas on this

Tara Bassett and Puppy Pack Adventures

I’ve been photographing my bestie and her 3 dogs for several years. This particular day was my 1st outing with my brand new DA* 300mm and I think the first time we’d taken the her podcast Puppy Pack to this location near the River.

I love the contrast here and a nicely framed tree line!

I normally take and share mostly some type of landscape photos, but I think this time I'll try something different. My wife had some groceries shipped that came in an insulated box with dry ice to keep them cold, so the kids and I played with it a bit. It's just a mason jar with some water in it, and my daughter put her hand over the top to see if she could trap the fog. I used a wireless flash laying on the table just out of the shot to light it from the left. The photos I got didn't seem all that special until I converted one to black and white, and I liked what I saw.
