Point and Shoot Competition #131 — Triangle(s)

Sorry I'm late, but I was a bit busy with a sick sheep which is recovering well now.


In this month's competition the main subject of the photo should show at least one triangle, natural - man made - whatever.
That shouldn't be too hard to find in your surroundings.



Rules:

1. Always have fun!

2. Cameras:

No cameras with sensors larger than 1" (some exceptions below).
No large format or camera typically requiring a tripod to use.
No interchangeable lens cameras (some exceptions below).
No 35mm (D)SLRs or any camera weighing over 1kg.

Cameras permitted (cameras listed as acceptable here supersede rules above):
Mobile phones, old and new, iPods, tablets, toy cameras.
Fixed-lens 35mm and smaller-format film and digital cameras (Fuji X100 and GR OK).
Pentax Q, Nikon 1, interchangeable or fixed-lens 110 film.

ANY CAMERA BRAND ALLOWED.

3. Entries will close January 31, 2019 midnight EDT.

4. Maximum image dimensions are 1024x768 (ish) pixels.

5. List camera brand and model with entry for all to see, and exposure data would be nice.

6. No restrictions on when the entries were taken.

7. Contest winner determines the rules, selects theme, sets closing date and judges the next competition.

8. Enter up to three images, however you may change your entries as many times as you like up to the contest closing date/time.

Some idea's

Neat theme for the contest! Nice example photos. Hope the sheep feels better soon. This is the third "encounter" I've had with sheep raisers in 3 days. One person's sheep gave birth for the first time. 2nd was raising rescued pygmy sheep. Now the 3rd pops up here. A sheep triangle. Life is amazing!
Thanks,
barondla

Bart, I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps Cipher is testing us. Or a tricky maneuver to get us looking at the picture longer? Great either way, it worked.
Thanks,

I'd thought I'd let someone else count the little ones…

And the ones in the background…

If I have to count them I'll be busy until the end of the month. LOL Love the photo. I only hope more entries will follow.

This is from 2002, taken with my first digital, a Sony Mavica, that recorded on a CD. Fontenay, in Burgundy, France.

Hmm, this turned out to be more difficult than I thought.

Pentax Q7 with Q 06 telephoto zoom. There are apparent triangles, but rectangular ceiling light also looks almost triangle on a quarter-sphere mirror due to fisheye distortion.

Love all your entries, your last one being very creative KWB, and I will have a difficult time at the end of this month. I know from my own experience that you all will see triangles everywhere for a long long time LOL

Abstract - Q7 and #06 at 15mm with close up filter. 1/30 at f3.5 ISO 400.

Fair ride - Q7 and #01 8.5mm prime at f4, 1/1250 and ISO 100.

For being such a common shape, triangles don't show up in my photographs as often as anticipated. This assignment was more difficult than it appears.
thanks for viewing,
barondla
