Some fantastic shots there, one to think about

I really like em' all!

[menthel]

Punching baby for teh win! All great, however I have trouble seeing the action in some of them.

[hoodmeister]

1 is action gone by ~ The collecting of the hay.

6 is in motion, the road and its surroundings all have motion blur

7 is pretty obvious, but the less observant may not notice the blurred escalators...

Which ones don't have action? :s

[unreal]

Wow one of the best results I've seen... my vote goes to the band gig, it looks quite teh unreal

[hoodmeister]

I wanna know what lens did the band one, I love the slight fisheye effect, and even the vignetting looks the part! [IMO]

edit : Infact, if possible, could the owner of the band pic PM me with that info?

[hoodmeister]

Hay bails > You

[Funkstar]

Boxing Baby got my vote

it is:

Sigma
15mm
1:2.8 EX
FishEye 180 o
Canon Fit

[hoodmeister]

Was that taken on a 35mm?

[mmh]

it was taken with a canon EOS 300d

i must stipulate, i DID NOT take the photo (was not covered in the rules) but if it turns out the picture wins, any credit/prizes will go to the photographer as he doesnt have a hexus account.

if i am breaking any rules (as i say, entering on behalf of someone wasnt covered) then i am more than willing to be disqualified.

don't worry, we'll let the voting run its course
and what do you mean 'not a hexus member'!! heathen!

oh and beanfro

What do you mean

Its a class photo showing "Action", yeah using my nephew is a little bit of a cheapshot, but he's my nephew and he just happened to punch the air and I just happened to take his picture at the same time.

Please note, I did not do anything to make him punch the air, he did it on his own accord I actually took the picture as he was smiling nicely but I took the picture and there you have it, he was actually punching the air...shutter lag is a b***h isn't it...

And yes my sister (his mother for those not fast enough) is aware that I'm exploiting his likeness

[shiato storm]

actually its the shutter lag that makes this picture good.

6 is mine...

Damn right it's odd, I have no idea why I got the dodgy blue cast on the branches & trees near the top O_o

Was taken from a car, through a windsheild, which is also why there's oodles of dust...

Don't have the source EXIF to hand (in college) but basic info is ~

D70
Nikkor 70-210 (can't remember focal length, but was nearer to 70mm...)
Shutter priority, 1/6 second
Can't remember aperture :s
