  • DP Now Salon Competition no. 73 - Looking Up

    Many thanks to Roger for running Salon 72.

    Your mission for this round of the DPNow Salon:

    LOOKING UP

    Any interpretation welcome on the subject of LOOKING UP. This could be a shot of a blade of grass from an ant's perspective or a shot of a crater on the moon.

    Closing date October 16th. Get shooting and good luck!

    Philip

    Here are the rules:

    1) All photographs are to be uploaded to the photo gallery at http://dpnow.com/galleries/, they can be put in members own gallery if they wish. The resulting link generated for the photo will then be pasted into the next available space in the Salon thread. Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixels wide so people can see the whole image without scrolling.

    2) One entry per user ID only please, which must be the personal work of the entrant.

    3) Entries should be "in line" within the thread (not as links to an image held somewhere else.)

    4) Comments only on entries are welcome within the salon thread itself.

    5) After the close the curator will indicate a winner and a couple of runners up.

    6) The curators decision is final.

    7) Winners should be offered first refusal to choose the next theme and curate the next salon.

    8 ) If the winner is unable to curate the next salon the current curator may offer that "honour" to any willing volunteer, possibly the entrant in second or third place.

    9) These rules are to be copied and pasted with the new theme by the curator at the top of the new salon thread with a finish date and time.

    10) As with all photos posted on DPNow,copyright remains the photographer and DPNow will not use them without permission.

    The Prize is the choice of either CF 8GB Ultimate or a SDHC 8GB Class 6 memory card.

      Great theme. I must be psychic, because I decided to try shooting star trails for the first time last week! It's good fun, but very time consuming.

      The image below was taken at the stone Globe in Swanage, Dorset. The foreground was lit by moonlight, and the sky, castle and top of the hedge were (unfortunately) lit by artificial light. If you're familiar with the constellation Ursa Major (The Plough), you may be able to pick it out as seven of the brightest stars in the sky. The bottom of the 'saucepan' shape is just above the Globe. There's a little streak higher up in the sky which I think is a small meteor.

        I love that photo, Kurt. I think I saw it in your Gallery. Stunning colours.

            Fantastic result RI under what must be difficult conditions. Personally I think the mixed lighting help it somewhat.

                    Looking up.

                    And anyone who claims they're not looking upwards at this is telling big, fat porkies.

                          Great topic. This was taken at Madrid Airport in March. Elizabeth & I were travelling through with some friends.
