July 2009 Photography Assignment - Heat

[jabber]

July is almost here...anyone have any suggestions on a theme?
thx - Marko

Well, once I saw here a snake from MA (stuffed animal - the snake, not MA ). That inspired me some weeks ago to take shots from my friends self made teddy bears.
I guess everyone here (even the men ;-)) will have one. How about "showing our stuffed friends"? Just a little crazy guess .

Since it is summer perhaps buskers, street vendors or entertainers, outdoor festivals, outdoor concerts or pancake breakfasts (Stampede starts next week).

We could do a colour, maybe yellow? Just a suggestion...

How about Heat?

How about Heat?

How do you photograph heat?

I'll vote for the music or summer concert theme.

How do you photograph heat?

That's part of the challenge.....Interesting!

I like this suggestion - any other Ideas?

On July 1, the idea with the most support wins.

I got this idea from another photo forum and kinda liked it- Out of Focus. Shots that are out of focus but still work somehow.

Or, if we'd rather have something more summery- what about water?

Heat sounds interesting to me. I'd like to see some first though. It's been raining/foggy since Thursday and the forecast has rain/fog/cloud through to Sunday.

Heat or hot, and for our down under crowd just remember you don't know cold

I like the idea of heat.
If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

(I vote heat)

Ok then, the suggestion posts have been merged and the assignment topic this month, which got the most support is Heat so that's our assignment this month - Thanks for suggesting it jabber.

Ok then - who posts first?

I'll go first. Fireworks, I find, are a little tricky but HOT and I think this one turned out OK and it was taken on July 1st so I think this at least puts me in the right category.



1/2s
f/5.6
ISO:800

Okay here is mine we had a fire in the bushes and this makes the perfect heat for the image

I think the trick is to wait until near the end of the month so the post doesn't get forgotten, but I'll jump in early nonetheless.

This sparrow was a masochist and stayed in the summer heat although he was heavy panting as you can see

Nice variety of photos thus far!!

A very strong image jventer that fits the theme perfectly!!

I like the heat in your shot as well Iggy!
Moinx2 - when I saw the bird I thought the bird was in heat. lol.
Nice colouring in your shot F8!

I'm working on something hot...

I think that this one suggest heat very well, if you can imagine the pain that I felt, next nights
My wife insisted to use sunscreen, but I refused, I'm a man, I can resist to any sun

I'm just happy you weren't down at Wreck Beach when this was taken

........... I can resist to any sun

Luckily you can't - we would have missed some colour in your photo !
