Weekly Challenge Jul 3 - Jul 9 - : Topic Patriotism -
patriotism or independence - fireworks, flags, service members, etc.

"Challenge topic"
- TwistedThrottle's Choice (Axeman- Rick S. chose not to choose a topic)

Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!

DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY Jul 3
This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 00:00 UTC of the end date.





The Rules

1. Photos must be captured with a Nikon and appear in the thread with EXIF info in order to be considered for the challenge. If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

4. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!

There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

Because we tied and I have won a lot of challenges, I wanted to give some "new blood" a chance to pick a topic. Funny part is my choice would have been FIREWORKS, but not everyone knows how to photograph them so I just passed on a topic. You all know what I'm going to submit this week so get out there and show us your Patriotism shots :)

Thanks for the sharing the honor of picking this week! BTW, I have no idea of how to capture fireworks, but that's not going to stop me from trying! Ive read that its best to start on a tripod at f11, ISO 200 and bulb shutter and then adjust from there. Anyways, Happy Independence Day (week) everyone!

Hi, this is a tribute to all our American Nikonites in the forum. I wish you've spent an excellent 4th of July.
Follows the closest picture I could take (due to security reasons) of the US Embassy in Argentina with your flag.

About thirteen hours left to this challenge folks.

Remember, it's not only patriotism in the US, show us your flag, military, parade, etc...

I'm getting in here at the last minute. ;)

Just a little background on this statue - the pedestal base lists the names of residents who participated in The World War 1917-1919. Since it doesn't specify World War I, I'm guessing it was erected prior to WWII.

Just within the past week, someone in a FB group asked if I had ever photographed this Veterans statue. So I thought it might also work for this weekly challenge.
