After thinking about it all day I finally decided on this......
Lets see some action photos! Photos that convey a sense of movement, excitement and emotion in a scene.
Here's a few too many examples to get it started. Obviously not limited to to these types of shots either. It could be crashing waves, weather, whatever you want. Actually Jeffs entry in challenge 70 would fit perfect. (amusement park with fireworks)
I cant wait to see what you guys come up with!
This challenge begins Thursday, February 12th, 2009 at 12:00PM EST and ends Saturday, February 21st at 11:59:59 PM EST.
GENERAL RULES
1. Have fun sharing and seeing what others share!
2. The host supplies a topic and you post 1-3 images. The host judges the winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and is not eligible to enter.
The 1st place winner then chooses the next topic, judges the winner and passes on the baton to the new champion.
3. Any photo you’ve taken is eligible, regardless of when taken or camera used.
4. Any amount of post-processing is allowed. However, it is helpful if you list your camera and lens along with your photo.
You may comment on other contestant's images. If you want someone to leave you some critique or criticism, put an asterisk (*) next to the title of the image.
5. The winner has up to three days (72 hours) to begin a new mini-challenge, or the honor goes to the #2 finisher and so forth.
Guidelines:
1. Enter 1-3 photos and put them in a single post.
2. Either embed your image in the thread or, if you must, supply a link to it. Keep in mind, however, most people don't want to click to open photos hosted elsewhere (i.e. on your website).
3. Also try and resize your photos prior to posting so they're sized appropriately for viewing without having to scroll (~800 pixels on the longest side works best.)
4. Give each image you enter a title.
5. Enjoy discussion with members about their images, dont let this just be an entry thread!
6. Dont be hesitant, share'em and enter!

The good news: There's a lot less photos I have to look over!

Well, I finally decided to dip my toe in the water in a mini-challenge.
I spent a weekend recently shooting pictures at the 59th Annual Southwestern Regional Model Airplane Championships near Eloy, AZ (for free-flight and radio control models). As you might expect, things did not always go as planned for some competitors.
Nikon D90 with the motordrive whirring away caught this one. Cropped about 50% from the original photo. EXIF info my SM gallery.

My first attempt here and I know I am way out of my league... hope I don't screw it up too bad. Please let me know what you think.
1. Bull rider - I liked the cross he was wearing.
2. Sprinkler - This was at the park near my house and I had to go back home for the camera that usually is always with me.
3. Sphinx Moth - Some people also call them Hummingbird Mothsbecause of how fast his wings are, but it is indeed a moth, not a hummingbird (so I have been told).
