    Canon - Nikon - Others: TEAM CHALLENGE - Month ending 31st May

    Oops - almost forgot! Sorry about that!

    I thought that perhaps this month we could try a bit of a theme ... so I came up with "Right Place, Right Time" ... lets see some of those shots where you just happened to have a camera handy for one of those rare moments in life, whatever they might be. So no limit on when it was taken for once

    Enter as often as you like, but only 1 image per post please

    OK, I go first since I have been on vacation for a long time.

    In this picture, although he is the one who threw the ball, it looks like he is being hit by it. I may have not pressed the button exactly at that right moment, but I was there...

    OK then -- looks like I'm 2nd!

    I've always wanted to capture a nice - COMPLETE - rainbow, but they always alluded me - until mothers day last year when I was lucky enough to get not just a complete rainbow, but a complete DOUBLE rainbow.

    This shot was run in the local paper, and I had quite a few people ring up wanting copies. One lady said that several years ago her son died on this very day - and every year since there's been a rainbow on the anniversay of his death - not sure if that'll happen this time around, but all I can say is it's a couple of days away (I think!) - and we're forecast to have some VERY nasty weather this weekend - so here's hoping that the legend will hold true for one more year.

    Visiting relatives in New Mexico, I was able to get some good captures of one of their classic sunsets.

    Great picture, LCC.

    I was actually looking for a picture like this to ask a question I had: How did you overcome the wide dynamic range here? When I take a picture like this, assuming you did not use HDR being so natural looking and also the fact that you mentioned it was handheld which I think makes it unlikely, the sky usually looks wiped out.

    Thanks,

    Canon 400d, glass sigma 10-20mm, shoot in RAW.The wide dynamic range look adjusted with the RAW format.No next to nothing about PP but learning from info provided from here. :-)

    Team Canon!!!

    P.S. I only have the uncropped photo to hand... We actually cropped it much tighter into a 10"x8" and have it on the wall at home... I quite like the light above my son in the uncropped version, too...

    Best regards,

    Anton
