The Fall 24 Hours! Saturday October 7th

[walterick]

The gist of the 24 Hours assigment is to have the members of this board - across the United States and all around the world - photograph their lives in the same 24-hour period. The resulting collection of photographs paints a very interesting cross-section of our photographyREVIEW.com members' lives. The assignment is completely optional. You may choose to participate or to watch.

The assignment:
Photograph your world from midnight to midnight, 24 hours, Saturday, October 7th

Subjects can be whatever you want them to be. Events, your house, your job, your vacation, still lifes, portraiture, whatever you want to throw into that 24 hours, feel free! The more detail and diversity we have, the greater the project becomes.

We do ask that members do not flood the project with images, but be selective in choosing the images that characterize their world the best. That being said, there is no limit on the number of photos you can post.

You cannot start shooting until 12am, Saturday morning your time. This means that you could start seeing pictures in here as early as Friday evening, as long as it's Saturday in that someone's neck of the woods.

Like last time, we'll have several time slots you can post your pictures in to keep them organized as the thread is viewed. Midnight through sunrise, daybreak through lunch, afternoon through dinner, and evening to midnight. You can post chronologically if you want, or you can just hit reply to the main thread.

If you have any questions or comments, please post here or feel free to pm me.

Good luck! And have fun!

Here is a quick peek at one of mine. I'll post all the rest when I get back from where I'm at

This is one of the first sunset pictures I have ever tried. I took this picture on top of Clock Tower Hill. Lance Armstrong came to our town, the last year he raced, and went over the hills on the far left, Mt. Alto, as part of one of his races here. He also went over the hill I took this picture from. Next, they raced at Brass Town Bald. If you think these hills are steep. I would have had to drag my bike up Brass Town Bald with a four wheel drive. I gained a lot of respect for those cyclist....

I got up early this morning so I could go sit in my treestand and try to get some pics of some deer. This first shot is from the street outside of my house, just before I left for the woods. That is a street light towards the bottom.

Here is a couple more from my morning







We had literally 20 seconds of the light this color, then it just turned to normal sunlight, and the Tufa's (sp?) went back to their normal color:

I slept in

I went around and took some snap shots in the yard to start out my 24 Hours.

It's a another beautiful day in Phoenix, AZ!

I have a pretty busy day today, but I wanted to participate in this thread since I had such a great time with it the last time.

I started my day off today by taking a little walk downtown. Our small rural town is having what we call Founders Day. It is highlighted by some of our town dignitaries dressing up as the founders of the community. In addition there are food vendors and booths offering a variety of crafts as well as other goods for sale. I am going out of town the rest of the day so I caught the first hour or so of the downtown event.

#1 The Founding Fathers address the citizens.
#2 The politicians ore always out.
#3 Two young men converse in the middle of the street.
#4 Some Amish men inspect the wares of one of the vendors.
#5 Young Amish women among the booths. Note the black bonnets.

[Old Timer]

Just one more. there is always an abundance of fall produce like apples and honey for sale. And before someone says something no we don't grow bananas some things are imported.

I didn't see this thread until this afternoon so there wasn't much time left for me

It made a nice change not to think about composition and getting rid of bg distractions. My house is ALWAYS a mess!

Anyway, here goes.
Just the usual from me I'm afraid. My life revolves around my children!

#1 Danielle getting on with her homework
#2 The babies pester Danielle while she tries to complete her homework.
#3 Hubby resumes his normal position in front of his computer with a desktop full of pictures of our children (by the way, he wasn't even aware I took this picture. He just assumes the flash is going off because I am taking pics of the kids lol)
#4 Wesley does his usual thing...jumping from a black box onto a pile of cushions.
#5 Wesley calls it a day lol

The teenagers were off doing their own thing and the twins were over their Dad's.

And me, well, I'm behind the camera :thumbsup:

Oh yeah we did go to Macdonald's and I saw some stunning landscapes with gorgeous blue skies but didn't take my camera with me.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their day

Pretty quiet around here, taking a lazy Saturday so far...

[Alison]

Awww what a GORGEOUS pic Steve!

[walterick]

Went for a walk in the Phoenix Preserve with the camera phone. Snapped one along the way and one at the top.

I had a doe walk right under my treestand this morning, but it was still way too dark for a photo. She was the only deer I saw this morning. Here is a shot of my treestand. I have also made a small ground blind below the stand.



I found the paper wasp nest the other day. It's not too far from my treestand.



Once I got out of my stand, I took a walk through the woods, and found this chipmunck. Looks like he's stocking up for the winter.



After I left the woods, I went to my nephews football game.





After the football game, I headed towards the Mississippi River. Here are a few shots I took along the way.

A cow in a pasture.



A farmer raking hay.



A bunch of scarecrows outside of a school.

Post your morning pictures through and including lunch here.

I've been more of a lurker up to this point but this looks like a good time to be more active.

The day started off pretty slow. Nothing like a good breakfast to start things off!



I'm off to shoot some fall colors this afternoon!

[Liz]

These were the first shots of the day - I think it was before noon. I hadn't gotten out of the house yet.

[Liz]

Instead of going to NYC as I usually do for photo ops, a friend and I went for a ride in NJ.
Along the way...................................

[Liz]

A few more......including twin newborn calves - one twin was nursing the whole time. The other twin could barely stand up - he got a little help. Check the eyelashes on the close-up (crop).

Here is another one from my trip. After I get a chance to go through them all on my desktop to check color, I'll be adding more from my trip.

This was taken with the Mamiya 645AFD with the Leaf Digital Back (22 Megapixels!!!) that I got a chance to play with on our trip. That camera (though it costs as much as a car) is AWSOME! This is a comp of two photos- one exposed for the clouds, the other for the car

And this is where I was after the lake until around noon or so. Because of the storm we had the night before, we were treated with some beautiful clouds for the rest of the trip.

[Liz]

Those pictures...........all of them are awesome. BTW, is this near where you live? Wow!

You really got the best of those 20 seconds!

Liz

[jorgemonkey]

Thanks!

The lake shots were all at Mono Lake, CA. The town shots were from a ghost town called Bodie, which is about 1/2 (to the turnoff) hour away from Mono. Its about a 4-5 hour drive from San Jose, which is where I live.

I'll get more posted up from that afternoon/evening when I get home from work. Including a few I took with a $22,000 camera (no exaggerating on the price, either!)

Here is a shot of a little building next to the Mississippi River.



I went for a little walk through a park next to the river and found these trees.



Here is a shot of some flowers along the sidewalk.



A old cabin in the park.



A malard enjoying a bath in a small pond in the park.



After spending some time in the park, I headed home. My goal was to get back so I could sit in my treestand this evening. Here are a few shots from the ride home.





This is a Wisconsin traffic jam!
