it's neat to see the light source off to the side, adds some depth to the picture.

also, not looking too closely, which body is on the lens in the picture? and what body were you using for the shoot?

Taken with the 5d mkII of my old 40d

110% 5D but I'm keeping the 40d as a backup and for action/sports shots... fps is much better than the 5D.

ok, my submission: (1) cookie monster (2) cupcake on the (3) corner

Chewy734 · 02-20-2011, 10:02 PM

haha, nice! Homemade? Tasty?

UdubBadger · 02-20-2011, 10:04 PM

That photo is not helping my diet cravings right now

Litos · 02-20-2011, 10:11 PM

yeah, they are home made by my older brother. it's my 31st birthday tomorrow so we DID IT BIG at my parent's house today. i'll post the BBQ pictures later HAHA !!!!!

to be honest with you, i could have had a "five-fecta"

(1) cookie monster, (2) cupcake, (3) coconut, (4) carlitos my son, (5) sitting on the corner

M_Six · 02-20-2011, 10:16 PM

Maybe we should have had a letter elimination feature on this contest. Once a letter is used, it can't be used again. My plan involved cats, cushions, and chairs, but that would really be pushing the "c" theme here.

Chewy734 · 02-20-2011, 10:19 PM

Nah... I think this contest is tough enough as it is. I'd rather see more people submit.

Litos · 02-20-2011, 10:23 PM

great contest chewy, but there's only 2 submissions so far HAHA !!!!

BBQ pictures are up in the snapshot of the day thread.

adrean8j · 02-21-2011, 07:15 PM

We still have six days right? I have spent most of this time mulling over ideas and I think I finally have mine narrowed down to what I want to do..will spend part of today executing it...

Chewy734 · 02-21-2011, 07:18 PM

Yeah, you have through Sunday night.

Blackbird, bullrush and bokeh:

Chewy734 · 02-21-2011, 10:13 PM

beautiful Dave!

EDIT: I just realized I responded to your photo in this thread, not the snapshot of the day one. Using bokeh is legit for the contest, but I know you can do better Dave.

adrean8j · 02-21-2011, 10:24 PM

Don't get me wrong I LOVE the picture (Red Wing BB's are beautiful) but, I do think using "bokeh" as one of your nouns is ummm....a bit of a "cop out"? Still within the rules it being a noun and all....but "C'mon man" (in my best Keyshaun Johnson, Chris Carter voice)...Just my humble opinion....Using bokeh as a word we could have had 30 submissions by now.....

i agree - sick picture, but using bokeh is pretty lame.

UdubBadger · 02-21-2011, 11:08 PM

technically speaking... the bokeh isn't actually IN the photo its a principle OF the photo. I think the difference is the bird and brush would be there if I was looking at it in person, the bokeh wouldn't be.

dcstep · 02-21-2011, 11:20 PM

Sorry to read you guys are upset with my use of "bokeh". Feel free to exclude it if you like. There's at least a couple of other "B"s in there, BUT I'm sticking with bokeh because it's clear to see, a noun and within the contest rules, IMHO.

adrean8j · 02-22-2011, 01:58 AM

^^^Not upset! LOL...just figured "bokeh" would be "kinda" taboo...it still falls within the rules so no blood, no foul I guess...

adrean8j · 02-22-2011, 03:31 AM

Tootsie Roll Pop Origami - Wrapper, Wood, Water (Wrocks?...LOL)

Hope you guys enjoy:
