Broken II - DPChallenge Forums

Wohoo! Finally I get a chance to redeem myself from my absolutely worst entry here at DPC so far, well, at least according to the voters. Hmmm, wonder what I can have "Eggbert" do this time... :P

Anybody else up for this challenge?

I did Eggbert's faceless cousin for Oops II, but due to a site issue it never got submitted.

I got a very good idea for this challenge, although it would probably be better to go for the motion panning challenge cos there will be way less entries there. I hate these decisions!

Motion panning is going to be hard because there are going to be 20 entries for every idea. Car? done. Sports? done. I think it's going to be a challenge where someone is going to get a really creative idea, but the rest are all six-of-one-half-a-dozen-of-the-other.

I do, however, have an idea for Broken. Muahaha! However, it's a 2 hour drive. Will have to see if I can pull it off on Monday.

yes go the motion panning far less entries.....then that would leave one less top gun in broken II :)

I don't know what to do for this challenge. I am just imagining breaking stuff in and around the house - having the wife on my case about the broken stuff. She is always on my case about fixing stuff, now I have to turn around and either break something and take a photo or take a photo of something already broken.

Yeah but this time it is basic editing rules, right? Only the "style" of a few of the top winners could fit in that catagory this time.

I hate basic!

I just hammered away some apples and tomatoes. Not a single decent capture. And the kitchen needs some serious cleaning. Brr.

hate to be the party pooper but I am glad that this one is basic having seen the results from the previous broken!

had to travel for a couple of hours to get my shots but then again I am an optimist - surely this one will do better?

chuckle - so much fun

I have a question about Broken.....let's say you photograph an old abandoned house that is falling down, would that qualify as broken? To me it would but I am just wondering what others think.

Finally! My heart led me to the challenge with less entries!! Woo Hoooo.

Now, I have had to Mcgyver the ghetto cam with, get this Duct tape! to get my shots,so I hope we will all be kind to Rae-Ann and her sorry situation :) After all a shot of "broken", taken with a broken camera!? No DNMC for me!! :))
And, if Doc and Slippy would enter motion pan, I would also feel better :)

editted to add, Larus, you can scoot over there with Slippy and Doc, as well ! :)
