Assignment 4: Break a Rule! -- Congratulations Jorundr-Jorgensen!

[Rodger]

Haha here's one. How about that classic old rule, "don't cut 18 different images and paste them into one".


Is this valid? I'll submit a different one if not.

This picture was taking during my first day out using my new T1i. I went to Silver Lake Park in SE Wisconsin hoping to see wildlife, maybe a deer but I was the babe in the woods with this camera ...far cry from the point & shoot I'm used to. Of the many rules I broke, one of them I find funny now ...which shows I have learned something over the last month or so. I used the "Faithful" picture style effect which is for users who prefer to process their photos on their computer but I shot it as a jpeg! It would have been a no brainer to use the "Landscape" picture style forvivid fall colorsas the "Faithful" setting makes the image dull and subdued. Nate's advice from my other post about #1 advice to newbiescomes to mind ...know your camera!

Here is my entry. In this one although the background is fairly diffuse it is also very busy with different colors and a fairly obvious movement from the waterfall.


Canon 10D EF 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 USM at 85mm f/5.6 1/90 ISO 100 (and if I am not mistaken) onboard flash.

Alright, interesting contest! great entries already


Here is my own entry; And the rule broken, obiously the focus.. Instead of getting a nice shot of the window the focus flew straight through it and crashed into the trees, and personally, I love it.


I know this entry is a bit more monochrome then the others but I was thinking that some varity would be good aswell.


Good luck everyone!


Canon 400D, 85mm f/ 1.8, 1/100 1.8

Here is my submission, Sumo in Osaka, Japan. No Post processing.


Canon 5D with a Canon 70-200mm F/2.8 L IS @ 200mm, F/2.8, ISO 400, 1/320


Rule broken: never shoot into a light source.....This shot was hard to abide by that rule.

[trav.cunningham]

I broke two rules with this one. Never zoom during an exposure and never move the camera during the exposure. I did both, zoomed from 18 to 55 mm and twisted my camera.


XSi, 18-55mm IS, 1/6 sec, f22, ISO 100
