Me and two of my friends went to an abandoned primary school in Kuwait city , Kuwait. The environment was so scary , it was dark and full of dust and broken doors and windows. For shooting this photo , I set the camera on a tripod , holding my flash in my hands (Manually) and asked my friend to hold 2 flashlights and start to runnig toward the camera and twirling the flash lights , and I was standing behind the camera firing the flash for several times towards him . The composition of the darkness, movement, twirling the flashlights, and the camera flashes was giving us a mindless freedom feeling , that's why we titled it "Ecstasy"

To take this shot i set up a tube of 35mm mylar from the cinema i work at, made by pushing the centre out of a roll of the stuff. This was taped to the hood of my lens. The lights are actually two Force FX lightsabers i had laying around the place which created this awesome reflection around the perforations in the film.

Camera used - Nokia 6303; I have no idea about the rest of the information.
Instead of trying to get a clear, vivid, picture with the camera on my phone, which was impossible, I decided to try the opposite. I tried to create a blurry, out-of-focus, shot that emphasised how a good camera does not always take a good picture, and vice-versa. Since the phone's camera has no settings for flash or contrast (that I know of), I took the picture in a pitch-black room, in order to create as much blur and harsh tones as possible. The picture itself is of my face, which I took just by moving the camera around and not allowing it to focus. It took a few attempts with other objects (glasses, coins, etc.), but the effect produced from taking it of my own face was much more stark. I feel it looks somewhat ghostly, with a very pale complexion and eyes reflecting the flash, while appearing to melt.

I got my first dslr about a month and a half ago and I've been taking a huge interest in photography since then. One of the things that caught my eye was pictures of smoke and using flashes off camera. I finally bought my SB600 last week and got it today so i decided to give it a try and this picture was my favorite one of the day.

I spent the long weekend on Guemes, one of the San Juan Islands off the Washington coast. This baby miniature donkey was one of the first things we saw as we drove off the ferry and the next morning we came back to see it again. It was absolutely fascinated by my friend's dog which is the only reason it got close enough to get this photo.

Shot this on Black Friday during a walk in the woods with family. Icicles covered the trees and it felt like I was in a dream forest. It was challenging to protect the protect the camera with melting icicles and had to get a quick shot—which is what this turned out to be. Used a Nikon D3000, 1/1000 sec., f/8, iso 100.

I took this picture out looking out the window at the end of a NYC Subway car on my way to see the Thanksgiving Day Parade, and naturally, take pictures of it. I was really just looking for a shot of the station receding away from the train as we went down the tunnel, but I didn't factor in the reflection of the inside of the car on the window, and I ended up with this.

Been on Gizmodo for a long time as a viewer, now I'm submitting for the first time. I was just cleaning up at night when I saw the scissors and paper, and it gave me the idea for the ultimate Rock vs Paper vs Scissors Battle Royale. I ran outside to get a rock, placed them on my dining room table, whipped out my iPhone 4, and took around ten shots of the pecking order. I then tweaked it up a tiny bit on Lightroom 3. As you can see, Scissors<Paper<Rock.

I had tried an experiment using a wine glass in front of various backgrounds and found that the pictures I was able to capture were fantastic. When the free-for-all competition came up I thought it was the perfect time to do another one. This was the 3rd picture I took and it turned out perfect. 60 other shots couldn't compare. The manner in which the light bounces in and through the glass really makes this shot.

This HDR show was taken with a Sony HX5V whilst visiting the family for some quality thanksgiving time... there's no place like a farm to go and take pictures!

My wife and I were down in Canal Park in Duluth, MN with some friends and their little daughter. She was interested in using the telescopes to look at the nearby light houses so we ended up handing out by them for some time.

Just got my son a new puppy for his Birthday. (It's a Mini Pincher/Jack Russell mix). The dog is extremely energetic. A walk in the fields surrounding the woods sounded like an awesome idea, on this crisp November day. Got some really nice shots. The ideal spot, a nature preserve in Muncie, Indiana, exists behind my home.

Right after reading the challenge post, I immediately though about how I narrowly missed the free-lens challenge from being out of town. I grabbed my Canon EOS Rebel T2i and started taking pictures of my bookshelf with the EFS 18-55mm lens held tilted, a few inches away from the camera, or even backwards. Then my sister came into my room with a cookie she had baked a batch of to take to relatives over Thanksgiving and I set one down on my desk. I held the camera steadily with the lens flipped around with a small gap between it and the sensor and took this macro picture of the frosting on it.
-Chris Smith
I shot this photo on Thanksgiving morning after awakening to find that it had been snowing for a couple of hours. I used my canon powershot (SD1100 IS) with the color accent turned on. Since my camera tends to take blurry photos (or maybe it's user error), I decided to play around and took a photo while turning the camera in a circular motion. I thought the photo came out Van Goghesque.

While visiting my in-laws in Oklahoma for Thanksgiving, it was decided that we should take a family photo. As I didn't have a full tripod and we had no spare person to shoot the picture, I improvised with my Gorillapod attached to a tree near the house. I then tested the camera and the field of view so that I would be able to crop less and still get everybody in frame. So while make-up was being applied, I set up the camera and then test-fired the camera to check locations. This photo is a composite of six shots of me standing in for my subjects. It wasn't until I was reviewed the photos at home that these six stood out. I decided this would be a good idea for my assignment. So a little cut & paste and here we are.

The photo was taken early Sunday morning in the Old City of Jerusalem. After the sun came up, I sat down to rest for a bit. Watching the light develop on the stones of the city, I was entranced by the shadows and texture of this cobblestone plaza.

I haven't driven home in daylight for 6 days now, mostly due to daylight savings time. I was driving home this evening after a weekend day of work and I saw the sun beating down and shining with a bright yellow hue, which made the fall browns and remaining green colors pop out to me and reminded me strongly of Stephen King's book Under the Dome where he describes pollen and other particulates that have collected on the outside of the dome.
"The sun was going down [as] it often did after warm, fair days unsullied by late showers. But never in his life had he seen a sunset like this one. ... The horizon was almost invisible through that blurry glare. "Good Christ, it's like trying to look through a dirty windshield when you're driving into the sun," she said. And of course that was it, only the Dome was the windshield. It had begun to collect dust and pollen. Pollutants as well. And it would get worse."
Under the Dome, Stephen King
I stopped at the first place I could and took the photo with my iPhone 4. Feeling the oppression of winter coming on, I can't help but feel like a character trapped in King's novel. Instead of a dome holding me in, the cold and limited daylight is my enclosure. The bright setting sun with the fitting country-side view match the cover of King's novel and worked nicely to inspire this shot.
The photo was shot with an iPhone 4, and fittingly (as a reference to another of King's novels) from a Buick (albeit a Rendezvous, not an '8'). Although it wasn't through my windshield, it was through the driver's-side window. :)

My wife and I took a trip to Old Poway Park in Poway, CA on Thanksgiving day to walk around and enjoy the outdoors. She brought her camera but I ended up using it the whole time.

My camera is a Fujifilm, FinePix F70EXR...That's right a digital "point and shoot" camera with no manipulation. This is my first introduction to this film challenge so I decided to start off with something simple (also I found out about it yesterday, so not much time). The reason I write about this is because, as someone who works in the arts, I am constantly amazed by new technology that allows people of all levels to get involved in creating and capturing something beautiful. So I look forward to following and participating more in these shooting challenges. As for my story: This shot was taken on a freezing day in Boston, a Tuba Christmas Day to be exact. This was the 25th anniversary of the Tuba Christmas and it brought tuba players from age 12 to 75 out to play Christmas songs on, oh yes, their tubas!! This specific tuba was fastened around a solider home for the holidays. The image in the horn of his tuba bringing together the community and the city was a true "reflection" of what the day was about.

I'm in Santiago, Chile for a business trip and I've been here for 2 weeks. I finally get a chance to walk around the city for some picture taking. I don't know anyone, I'm getting lost, and I'm afraid of getting my camera stolen. When I come across this decoration in front of a strip of restaurants. From the sides it just looks like a funnel. So I say to myself "that's interesting, let me get some shots from different angles." I didn't think anything of it at first. Then I looked at it head on and I was amazed at what I saw..."It looks like the Golden Spiral!" One of the most amazing mathematical concepts (and also a reference to the movie PI). I couldn't believe my luck...I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do it justice....
The Golden Spiral, for me, always had this mystery and fantasy about it...and I wanted to capture that mystery and fantasy in my shot.

This photo was taken from the porch of my aunt and uncle's home in Branson, Missouri as we sat down to have our Thanksgiving feast. This sunset made the entire evening for my family as stories were shared about past Thanksgivings and as we all laughed and enjoyed our time spent together! With a view like this and the massive array of food that was spread before us it was an evening we will never forget.

After 5 years taking pictures mostly with Point and shoot cameras, I decide it was time to get into the DSLR for good. I bought the Rebel T2i with a couple of lenses, and start studing the equipment and getting familiar all the commands and settings.
Today (saturday november 27th) was the firt day with sum after a week of rain and overall bad weather. So I grab the camera and start taking pictures of my pretty small garden. Then I saw this little flower hanging in the windows, with a very black glass as background, I realize that would be a perfect oportunity to try shooting with low speeds (under 1/100) and also play a little bit with the focus settings. After, finding a angle that works for me, I took a a few shoots, but the very first one, in my opinion at least, prouve to be the coolest one. So I decide send it to you guys, and see how it goes on this week chalenge.

Ever since getting my DSLR earlier this year I've wanted to try astrophotography. Unfortunately, living in NYC, it's near impossible, so I wanted to take advantage of my Thanksgiving trip to try. Day 1: cloudy. Day 2: cloudy. Finally on the night before I left it cleared up. By the time I got outside the clouds were already coming back but I got this picture when about half the sky was still clear, giving me the few blue blue specks on the left. I used Photoshop to color the cloud trails green, making them resemble the aurora.

I took this set with the widest possible aperture my lens would allow to throw focus on to the frost on the bench (The wide aperture also help reduce the camera shake in the freezing cold !)

I was browsing through my friend's large collection of vintage film (woah, wait - what's that?!) cameras that seem to have lost popularity in a dishearteningly short amount of time. Sure, with digital cameras we tend to think of film as free with virtually no limit to the amount of shots we can take, but we have lost a sense of care and heart placed in each shot. With this new-found appreciation for vintage cameras, I experimented and had fun with different shutter speeds on my own digital and got to see a film camera through the subject's perspective. When peering into the dirty lens, it appeared as though the green trees behind the camera had been distorted to yellow and blue hues. I can't wait to experiment with my friend's collection of film cameras. Thank you for your time, enjoy!

I was hanging out with a friend taking pictures of things that we encountered. As we walked around Fort Belvoir, VA., I remembered an old trail that is no longer used and has a really old wooden bridge at some point. To my surprise it was covered in fallen leaves. I failed to submit my picture for the fall shooting challenge so I figured I could take a new one to submit for this free for all. I used my canon 450D and a diana+ plastic lens to add some retro charm to it. It was shot at 38mm with 1/40s shutter and ISO 800. I added some vignetting in PS to increase the retro feeling.

I was at the Formosan Aboriginal Cultural Village walking around the Koi Cherry Blossom pond when I saw a food dispensing machine. I noticed the koi went totally nuts when anyone just held their hand over the pond (pretending to drop food), so I asked my sister to drop some food pellets in while I shot. They went crazy! I took about 40-50 shots, but this one was my favorite because of the huge open mouth in the middle and the fish just flying all over top of each other. Since this is a FFA, I decided to make it into an HDR image. I shoot in raw, so I exposed the same photo 5 times in Photoshop CS4 (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2), then combined and tone mapped them in Photomatix Pro. I finished it off slightly in Lightroom 2.7, reducing noise.
