On course

I've set myself a target one day after work - I had to take 4 decent

photos in a 100 meter radius - of whatever I could find within half

an hour. Call it extreme photosports.

 

This is number 3.

 

I would like to hear your thoughts on the result should you have

any. Thank you.

Great idea. It forces you to open your eyes to your surroundings. It may not make it to the X-Games though. Nice capture too.

Thanks Lavurn, and yes indeed it won't :-) But one man's conservative is another man's extreme. Thanks for taking the time to stop by. - JH -

Original and nice shot. Good composition.

Thanks Rasmus. As always, it's nice of you to stop by. Regards. - JH -

this is very eyecatching-I really like the colour and the background is perfect! regards, cb

Thanks for stopping by Charles. The green background is ordinary shading net, the silver thing was an antenna on a pick-up.

Great shot! Love the colour!

Great shot! Love the detail in the object and of course, the water droplets. For some reason, it is very insect like to me, as though it's part of a praying mantis. Wonderful capture. I mention this only as a personal choice and maybe you're already tried it. I would have straightened out the vertical rather than lean it to the left. Nothing more than personal choice. It says something about me in that I'm always trying to straighten things out.

Thanks for your great feedback. I am glad so many like this. I haven't tried to make it vertical (actually I don't really know how), but will give it a try sometime to see whether I like the result.

 

This photograpgy thing is amazing. Somedays you go out armed to the teeth to shoot something specific, and come back with silz, nothing, zero - boggerol. Then one day at work, you get up, see it's raining, take your lunch hour and spend it with your camera around the building where you work. See a pick-up truck, see an aerial, some water drops and a nice green shade net as the roof for a background - and shoot off a few rounds. And it ends up as decent image.

 

I love photography and seeing the world through the lens.

 

Go well Paul, untill next time. And thanks for stopping by.

Hi JH: I took the liberty of straightening the antenna but frankly, I like your version better. It's more interesting that the lines are not straight. Crooked or straight, it's good shot!
