The 18mm lens on the Canon Rebel T1i meant I had to shoot from the hallway into the room and crop square, but the camera’s 3200 ISO allowed a 1/160 second exposure to freeze the action.

Inspired by Philippe Halsman’s “Dali Atomicus”

My submission this week is my face and a reflection in my polished kitchen countertop. It was taken with a Canon XTi.

-Sally Reece

These were shot with my Canon 7D in aperture priority mode. The method to the madness was to use the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens with the EF25 II Extension Tube attachment; taking a mirror outside I got as close to the mirror as possible and these were the results.

I used the olympus epl1’s flash (at 1/64) to light my entirely white outfit (except for the tie) against a white wall.

The result: a chameleon like camouflage. The flash was powerful enough to blow out my face and clothes leaving only slight shadows where the creases of clothes are, and my facial features.

-Sal Tellez

I used a Canon EOS 30D with a 28-135mm Canon Zoom EF Lense and I left it at 28mm for this shot. My settings were AWB, ISO1600, f/ 3.5, and 1/20 sec.

-Kenneth Tran

shot with a 50mm f1.8 and a small macro extension adapter.

Canon Rebel XT using a 50mm/1.8 lense @ F-Stop 1.8 and 1/10 shutter speed, a simple tripod, and a cord-release. As much as any part of my body would be a self portrait, these converse have survived with me for the past 6-8 years.

Using my camera’s self-timer and a tripod I carefully setup my shot. Jumping back and forth, constantly adjusting the focal length I achieved what you now see before you. Plaid, proud, retro, eclectic, and with a unique sense of humor
