Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge #40

Welcome to Round #41 of the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenges. This challenge is open to any Dgrin member. It will run from Monday, December 28, 08:00am, EST time (GMT -5) to Monday, January 11, 08:00am, EST time (GMT -5).

The topic ready for your interpretation: Shoes

By popular request... Whatever you shoot, be sure you include a shoe in the shot. Get ready to show us your soles!

Your Judges:
richtersl (Winner of Round 38)
Llywellyn (Guest Judge)



IMPORTANT NOTE: Your entry is to be submitted directly into a Smugmug gallery. It's pretty simple, just go to the gallery link below, and follow the upload instructions at the top of the page: Remember, the basics stay the same: 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Do not use a minimal save method (such as "save for web"), and your exif will be embedded in your image, no worries!

To avoid disqualification, read, in full, the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge Rules, there have been some slight modifications.

    My wife is a shoe whore. She has hundreds of shoes and doesn't even blink at price tags north of $400. Finally her shoe fetish will bring me something more than heartburn.

    Man!!!
    My old faithful laptop, I've had it for some 8 years crashed over the weekend, and is beyond repair. I hope I hope, I hope that I'm able to get it replaced in time to download my photos for this challenge.

    LOVE THE THEME!!!

    I was thinking of that fish that they prepare in Dover....

    And yes of course, there is the obvious interpretation that I might make... But I'll try hard not to go there......

    This should be fun! Lots of interpretative possibilities.

    It was amazing what an obsession this topic uncovered in the original discussion thread. I'm so naive in this regard. headscratch.gif Sure, I have lots of shoes, but it's typical guy approach: right tool for the job. Not shoes as objects of beauty to be desired...ahem...lusted after!

    My recent foray into photographing shoes started because my wife teaches voice lessons in our home and we're a shoes-off household. So I recently saw a student's pair of shoes in our foyer in great morning light. And these shoes had such personality, I just had to shoot them. Then, I decided to do a series of students' shoes, possibly to include as a small segment in an end-of-year studio slideshow.

    Can't wait to see everyone's take on this theme!

    Yeah, I wish I could enter this one. It sounds like fun. But I like your idea of just shooting for it anyway and not entering it. Have an idea in mind. mwink.gif

    Go for it. :D

    I'm also thinking there might be a thread for images and ideas for rounds missed. I have a load of those...

    I was on the same 'Page' and immediately thought of Horseshoe Bend.

    Sadly- I am not heading there this weekend. Mulling over a few ideas and plan to enter back into these challenges. :D

    Sounds like your shooting blanks on this one. I have the opposite issue... too many freaking ideas. I think I'm happy with the Kaleidoscope concept though.
