The High Jump by Vickie Emms

Featured in Changing Zoom Lenses – November 2, 2009 / Featured in Deer Me!!! – October 25, 2009 This is the doe who was munching on some grass with her twin fawns that I came across the other day while driving to town. She took off across the field with the young ones, so I caught her in action and liked the shot, hand held with my Sigma 150-500 lens. You can see the frost in the foreground and background as she jumps into an area the sun had already touched. I loved the three effects. / Photographed in Anola, Manitoba / Canon EOS Rebel XTi; Sigma 150-500 lens / 1/1600 sec.; F/6.3; 403mm; ISO 400

For hilarity, not much can beat a bison calf getting a wild hair. We watched them leap and chase and got lucky to catch this one in mid leap. Wonderful contrast to the stolid adults around them. Canon 1D Mark II, Canon 70-200 f2.8L @200mm, 1/200, f/3.5, ISO 100, Handheld, Processed in Lightroom.

I was browsing some challenges and was absolutely stunned at some of the images that won, now firstly, I didn’t enter these particular ones, and as it would most likely be I wouldn’t have a chance against some of the fabulous works I saw.. However, it is no doubt blatantly obvious that the winning image must have sought votes, why can’t people just allow their image to win on it’s own merit? Lets face it, if you feel you have to seek votes then it really mustn’t be that good even to you! So don’t do it,.. then we might see real quality come through winning challenges.. That is so unfair and unjust and for Pete’s sakes it is just a bloody fun challenge! / Challenge meaning just that! You challenge your work against other artists works and if the public vote on yours then so beit, but for crying out loud I think it is high time to grow some maturity and just leave the votes up to the individuals who want to vote and aren’t asked to vote.. Honestly, if someone messaged me and asked me to vote for their work on RB I’d report them! So nobody try it! Some of the crap I’ve seen didn’t even sustain real effort compared to the other entries.. so I may be doing a Pauline Hanson by speaking out perhaps for what many are already thinking but, well, at least you know where I stand on this issue. Anyway that’s my 2 cents worth.

Dashing Through The Slow, On A One-Horsepower Machine by David McMahon

This shot, taken in an impenetrable traffic jam in New Delhi, India on 20 December 2007, probably shows that my photographic instincts continue to function even in a situation of severe time-and-motion stress. / / I had an international flight to catch. However, the traffic was far worse than anything I’d ever seen in the Indian capital. But as I watched the sun sinking into the hazy winter horizon, I reached for my camera to shoot half a dozen frames. This was taken from the middle seat of an SUV (four-wheel-drive, to most of us!) looking straight over the driver’s shoulder and through the windscreen. / / There are two classic symbols of India (the country of my birth) in this image. On the left is the famous Bajaj auto-rickshaw and in the middle of the traffic in front of me is the distinctive hampback shape of the best-selling Indian car, the Ambassador, which was based on the 1950s British-built Morris Oxford. The Ambassador is still produced in its original body shape and has a well-deserved reputation as a hardy vehicle well suited to India’s unique roads. On another note, you have not lived if you’ve never taken a ride in an Indian auto-rickshaw. The engines sound like lawnmowers, but their manoeuvrability and popularity more than compensate for their low power ratio. / / So did I catch my flight? Yes. Long after the sun had set. / / I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F5.6, 1/180 sec, ISO 400, focal length 125mm.
