Thanks guys

When I transferred it from the memory card to my lappy I thought "bloody hell, did I take THAT!"

Was well shocked! Got another 5 like it as well. The angry sky really seemed to contrast with the ride. EXIF Data below as requested:

Camera: Canon S3IS

Shooting Mode - Shutter Speed Priority AE
TV - 1/1000
AV - 3.5
Exposure Compensation - 0
ISO Speed - 80
Focal Length - 18.6mm
White Balance - Auto

Musado that is superb

[baronvon]

great topic, have a good idea for this one

THE BARON

Cheers musado, but was more interested in when it was taken too?
It's a great shot and the shutter speed would freeze the action like that but can't get over an aperture of f/3.5 giving such clarity throughout the ride image especially at 18mm. That's one hell of 6mp canon you have there. Nice capture.

Ahhh, I took that last Wednesday, but only got round to emptying the memory card yesterday. If that disqualifies me from the competition, then so be it.

What surprised me even more is that I got a shot like that in hi-speed continuous & and hand held!

I took over 300 shots that day & got 11 decent ones in total [6 Air, 2 Nemesis, 2 Oblivion & 1 Rita]

Unfortunatley comp entries must be taken for the comp, not previosuly. Gutted.
With such a high shutter speed and a wide angle, shake will be minimal.

That was my worry, it will do I'm afraid. A shame really as it would have deffo been a contender.

[greaseweasel]

Shame, its a good capture.

I've got an S3 IS too as my 'fun' camera when I don't want to lug the SLR around.
they're pretty amazing for such a small package, although the aperture is so tiny (even fully open - f8) that depth of field is really difficult to control.

Should be a good one this month.

ditto
good shot but me thinks its a few weeks old?

[cainey]

Posted my attempt. Taken on 5th Sept at Pennington Flash. I think the location name should win a few points too .
I can't decide if it's a good or bad shot. I guess the voting will decide that for me.

EDIT: Just changed my photo to another one from my Disneyland trip with my daughter.....

It's my first time out with my 450D and so its not to the standards of you guys......got lots to learn and hope over the next few months i can get better..

Also reckon i have messed up with image hosting and resize... if so please let me know .......is there something on my mac that is like the microsfot resizer tool you chaps use ?

I will go as far as saying the holiday is better than the photo lol...

[musado]

Re-entered with another shot taken this morning & disqualified entry removed. My apologies for posting an incorrect entry in the 1st place
