Just a reminder that this assignment closes at the end of May. I have a few shots in mind and hopefully I'll get the time to set one up soon.

Love the entries so far. This is one from the archives... I pointed my 300 mm lens at a waterfall and set the ISO to 1600 to give a shutter speed of 1/5000 sec.

Well, took me a while to find something. I shot state track this weekend and captured this gem. Have to love the facial expressions of the throwers. I shot both discus and shot put. Great comedy value for the photographer when he gets to freeze things.

Assignment is open through this weekend.

I had hoped to get out and shoot something original. The concept would be one of those shots where a bird or something look like they are walking on water.

But....projects....

Here is a shot that I think qualifies.....

"Hummingbird and Lady Bug"

Done in the usual way with 4 Canon speed lights each set to 1/16 power and synched with pocket wizards. This results in a very short flash duration around 1/15000 sec. Set the camera so the exposure allows no ambient light and you're ready to go. All the sensor will see is the very brief pulse of light from the flashes thus "freezing" high speed events. Getting the bug too was pure luck:)

Last weekend to enter....

Assignment period is closed and I am waiting for Jerrytech1 to select the finalists....

The poll is now open.....

Congratulations Joel!!!

Great shot.

Thank you...I was extremely lucky to accidentally catch the lady bug in flight with the bird.

Incredible shot, Joel. Well deserved.

Congratulation Joel... very well deserved. That is such a cool shot.
