From Our Photospondents
To many people in the US, fall means football — especially if you work for a newspaper and need to cover everything going on in your community. Ben Garver made this image of football practice with his phone set on black and white. He has all sorts of fancy photo gear, of course, but says, "I like to challenge myself." Here Ben proves what Cary and Bob say often: It's the singer, not the song.
Fall…
“The autumn leaves…” That song always pops into our heads at this time of year. Gorgeous colors erupt everywhere (well, in the northern hemisphere anyway). A great time to get out and make pictures. Look for the multi-hued colors of course, but also look for those other signs of plants and animals (including people) adjusting to the falling temperatures and getting ready for winter. Cary managed to find a sumac bush with nearly all the colors of the spectrum. See what you can find.
About Our Photo Contests
Bob & Cary love looking at photos, and we want to see yours! The Contests will be a regular feature of PixBoomBa. We will give you an assignment and a deadline—the rest is up to you. Cary & Bob will review the submissions and during the course of each Contest will post all the images you send in a special Contest Gallery. We will critique the best photos in PixBoomBlog, and the winners will have incredibly laudatory editions of the blog dedicated just to them—and receive a prize of extremely suitable gravitas!
