Challenge: Fear (Classic Editing)
Camera: Sony DSC-P50
Location: Sanford, ME
Date: Jul 6, 2002
Aperture: f3.9
ISO: 100
Shutter: 10/50
Date Uploaded: Jul 7, 2002

This photo was taken while the president was on a 3 day vacation at the family home in Kennebunkport, ME.

"Fear" because I was scared to take this photo... there was a group of secret service agents glaring at me. They're off to the right of the photo.

"Fear" on their part because they used floodlights to light the entire field around the aircraft.

I wish I could have taken a photo from above. I have some that are brighter than this, but they all have a nasty lens flare from the floodlights.

This is one of the Air Force One planes, right? I'm not sure I understand why this is a fear. If it had been a plane in flight, I would have got the fear of flying, but one on the ground seems a little bit harder to accept. Beyond that, the picture is very dark (obviously, since it was taken at night) and kind of bland with the plane centered right in the middle of the photograph.

Nice shot, not so scary!!
07/13/2002 03:37:00 PM
nice photo. how does this relate to fear? I must be missing something

Cool, opportunistic shot of Air Force One, but.... I think I'm missing the fear factor on this one.

07/13/2002 02:56:00 AM

Im a fan of coronas....
07/13/2002 12:19:00 AM
I'm surprised you got that close...
07/11/2002 10:39:00 PM
I'm assuming you've got a fear of flying.....It's a little hard to get what your saying in this shot....

Good lighting, composition.
07/11/2002 01:34:00 AM
so what's so fearful?
07/10/2002 03:10:00 PM
too dark
07/10/2002 01:25:00 PM
bad political humor
07/10/2002 01:23:00 PM
I am missing the fear connection. Good photo, though.

Like I've stated in afew comments. I see where your coming from but I don't get an impression of fear. I would have liked to of seen a person in the image looking worried, concerned. Then I would be able to connect better.IMHO. Dogman ;]

I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. As for the technical merit, I find the lights distractive and the plane rather static. The plane is in focus, but too far off to make the tail readable or the subject very interesting.

VP or lower plane. Wow, I know you couldn't control the lighting, but the bright light in front of the wing really hurts this photo. 6 Swash

I like the lighting...6
07/08/2002 02:12:00 PM
i think the lights shining ar you hurt this pic

Congratulations on being able to get a photo of this plane :) I'm having a difficult time deciding where the fear factor is in this photo... fear of flying maybe? Fear of government? Fear of barbed wire fences? Since the title in this photo doesn't tell me what the fear factor is, maybe you cand send me a pm and let me know if you like... I am just unable to determine what you are trying to put forth with this photo... = 4 - jmsetzler

REVISION: I'm not holding photos to the challenge this week. There are too many that I don't understand. = 5 - jmsetzler
