This challenge has caught me at a very bad time. I have been working 12 hour nightshifts/7 nights a week for the last several weeks and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Un fortunately, since 9/11 we are not allowed to photograph inside the facility where I work either. It seems that unless something changes in my current schedule I will not be able to shoot for the MC3. I do have a shot planned, but it may take a few weeks....or more...to execute it and share it.

I will have time to vote though....and wish all other competitors the best of luck. I will be following as closely as I am able.:thumb

    aww Jeff! Thats a real bummer. I always like your entries but will look forward to seeing what your planned shot is when you do have time to do it. I know its not easy to get away sometimes to go out and shoot a great shot. Takes more than just pointing and shooting. Just don't work too hard ok?

    Awwww.... sorry to hear that you've been swamped (although hope it's good news as far as overtime in your pocket!!).

    Look forward to the next round of Jeffreaux shots, whenever they may be thumb.gif

    That stinks!
    But I bet all the MC3 shooters are doing a little happy dance right about now... you just took their stiff competition down a notch.

    Well....it is still dark when my shift ends, so I am sure I could just go grab a nigh time cityscape or something, but....it wouldn't be the image in my head. For THAT image, I need another human being, and preferably female. I actually have my daughter in mind.

    You know how it is....once an idea is in your head....:D

    Anyway....

    I d rather not just go grab an image......and would like to see if I can pull off what I have visualized.....but it will have to wait awhile.

    Best of luck to you in the judging!....and voting rounds!!thumb.gif

    Arent you full of compliments today!

    Seriously.....I think the shooters involved are very well capable of ratcheting each others tension up without my contribution....as they are all very capable photographers.

    Heck...I was lucky just to make the list!:D

    I'm sorry to hear your work schedule won't allow you to get the shot you want. But are you 100% sure you won't be able to shoot something? Even something staged indoors? headscratch.gif

    I am really looking forward to seeing what you have envisioned (sp) I'm sorry you don't have time to do it before the end of the challenge though.

    i think if i had a image to enter it would have been done by now. i only see my schedule even more busy now than last week... so, im right there with ya Jeff.....

    even if i shoot something, my post processing will be greatly minimized....

    i have an idea... but it involves too many variables to make it work....

    (i hope you come up with something, i really enjoy your style... )
    just enter, i will do my best to add one also...we both can then claim lack of time issues

    I hear you on the image in the head thing. I do that so much...and I cannot settle on anything else till I get the shot I have in my head done or at least attempted!
