The Spring 24 Hours Pictures

[walterick]

Ha after all the hype I almost forgot to start a thread for the pictures

The Spring 24 Hours

You can only post pictures in this thread taken between 12:00 am Saturday, April 14 and 11:59 pm of the same day - that's your local time. That's 24 hours. Take pictures of any subject you can find. The more diversity, the merrier. You can post your pictures at any time, this thread will be live for several weeks after the 14th.

There is a special option this time for anyone who wishes to add a challenge to their project, you may shoot everything only in photojounralistic style as if you were shooting to get published. If you choose this path, your pictures should document an event, like the picture on the front page of your local newspaper would. You'll probably also post fewer, and more selective pictures if you choose this route.

As in the past, I will post categories in this thread sorted by time so that we can group our pictures together my time. This way they all appear in order when someone views the whole thread.

I hope everyone has fun! Now get out and shoot!
Rick

Sorry....not even close to the challenge of photojournalistic style.

This is me after eating junk food, sorting my digital photos, and needing lots of sleep. Key light provided by Dell 19" flat screen and bright white photographyreview.com website.

I'm actually impressed with the low noise for a 1600 ISO photo.

Have a great day of shooting everyone!!!!

:thumbsup:

Midnight found a group of Explorers inside an abandoned cheese factory, but not just any cheese factory but Silent Cheese Factory, where strange creatures walk the empty halls and fridges.


one such creature


our friend "dora the explorer" was not lucky and was brutally killed in action

Sunrise to Lunch--
9:05 a.m.

On a cool, grey Saturday morning in April, cars line up at the drive-thru window at McDonald's.

Cool! I took a few pictures for this 24 hrs thread and some were taken of me!

Here I am visiting Appalachian State U. in Boone, NC:


Hubcap anyone?


I took this one (great shot, huh?!) of the Blue Ridge Mountains:


And I tried some nature photography when we got back into Charlotte:

Not very sharp I know, but one handed shooting is a little tough. Went out for a morning paddle with some friends.

I didn't feel much like taking pics today, but I did manage to get out for a little while this morning. I tried to call in some turkey's, but I didn't have any luck, so I took a pic of one of my decoys.

This morning was supposed to be filled with pictures from the lake and the afternoon pictures of my Son's track meet. But due to the weather conditions both those fell through. So here is my day. First off nothing from midnight till now cuz I like to sleep during those hours.

Whatever you want to call it the nectar of the gods, breakfast of champions but I got to have my morning coffee to get my day started. Missing Pop- tart has been added to grocery list.

[MonkeyWrench]

After breakfast me and my friends pictured here get to spend some quality time together. Thoughts of cleaning the upstairs (Boys) bathroom start creeping into my head and I am starting to rethink taking pictures at the lake in freezing tempter.

On the first shopping trip of the day.
Out to buy a USB-SATA interface, and some compost.

There are over a dozen of these guys in an outdoor pond at the garden centre.
Too big for the herons now, but when younger they're expensed as "consumables".
This one was about 18 inches, the really big ones weren't coming close enough

The view when I got up that morning


My Dad & me took a trip up the American Fork Canyon outside of Lehi, UT for some early morning photos




After our trip we went back to my sisters house and did a quick unplanned portrait session (A couple proofs from it)

Looking through the windshield, a badly needed car wash at Bob & Kay's wipes away the residue of Spring

[schrackman]

I have to admit, I did not shoot this photo today but last week. But since I am temporarily out of a camera I figured no one would mind my posting it. It is spring related in the sense that Spring often means that new life begins. These are two teeny weeny hummingbird chicks I shot last Friday a week ago at my friend's place.

Sometime this afternnoon:
Ninjas came in and made off with the couch and loveseat. The table under the mirror = where the couch used to be, empty space in foreground = where loveseat used to be...

Actually...they got sold...no ninjas involved that I know of...getting ready for the move.

Taking a much needed break. Kids playing Halo 2 on Xbox Live, a common Saturday pastime on rainy days at our house.

I have become the unofficial Witness and Recorder for my Wife and Families own Biggest Loser Competition. I am a non-participant. There is money involved and bragging rights to be established , so I must make sure that everything is ready for the weekend weigh-in. I try to have as many candies, cookies and confectionaries I can find laying around. Is it wrong to torture people like this?

[MonkeyWrench]

My wife returns from work and brings in the trash cans left out from Thursdays Pickup. It is raining and snowing. "This is not Good". The children wisely head upstairs while I have no place to hide.

[MonkeyWrench]

My wife informs me that rubber gloves is as close to a HAZMAT suit that I am going to get and that I am not weaseling out of cleaning the upstairs bathroom again. She also notes that while I can't mow the lawn I could get the lawnmower ready so when it does get nice. This is a picture of our riding lawnmower. I'm thinking that both the bathroom and mower our questionable for today. To my surprise she agrees.
