"Upside Down" - (TwistedThrottle)'s Choice

Not right side up. Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!

DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY Aug. 4
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 23:59 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.

***** NOT FOR COMPETITION *****
Full disclosure - Taken in 2009, NOT this week like the rules state,
and shot with a Minolta Maxxum 7000 NOT a Nikon product.

My wife and I took a one week motorcoach tour thru the western part of the U.S., Then got on a ship for a one week cruise to Alaska. While in Juneau, Alaska, we went to a place called Glacier Gardens. The owner of the place (which was a flower shop/nursery) had the opportunity to help friends clean up after a mud slide had trashed their property. He told us that there were quite a few trees that had been knocked over and uprooted by the mud slide and was wondering what to do with them. He finally decided to bring some of them to Glacier Gardens. There, he stripped off all of the branches, cut the tops off, and buried the trees UPSIDE DOWN with the root balls up in the air. Then he planted flowers in the root balls and used them for decoration in the garden, as well as for showing the variety of flowers for sale. The picture is not in focus, as I was in a moving golf cart at the time, and my Maxxum 7000 was not really adept at quick focusing. Just saw the theme for this weeks contest, and it reminded me that I had something that y'all might like to see that fit the theme.
