Mmm..Sleep. We all do it, but we never seem to get enough of it. Babies never do it when we want them to, teenagers do too much of it, and stressed out adults find it elusive. We'd love to see your interpretation of sleep.
The color of this book alone could keep me from sleeping!
Exposure: 0.033 sec (1/30)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 85 mm
ISO Speed: 200
As always, the rules...
1. Your image you submit should be taken between the 7th of January and the 21st of January. Each week as an assignment closes on the Wednesday, it will be AUTOMATICALLY deemed *CLOSED* after 8am GMT ( 3am EST) and any posts after that time will not be eligible for the assignment competition.
2. Your post must include "Assignment: Sleep" (to show your permission to count it for the contest) and the date the picture was taken (to show that it is a valid entry).
3. EXIF data should be intact. It helps if you can include the main points (including camera, lens, date taken, ISO, shutter speed and aperture) in the text of your message.
4. Only one entry per member (if you can't restrain yourself until the end of the first week you can post two or three separate pictures but your entry should be in a separate post and the only marked with the text above).
5. Remember the cross-site image size limit (640px on the longest side).
6. If the image does not exist in post at the end of the contest, it is disqualified. If you modify anything on flickr and re-save the image then the link is broken and the message needs edited to link the picture again before it will be included in the contest.
For everyone, please do not repeat other people's photos by quoting them until the contest is over. If you want to comment on or discuss an entry you can use a link to it (or just delete the picture from the quoted text).
Next week we're going to try something a little more technical,
"High ISO". This will differ for a lot of cameras and may be something some point and shoot owners will find they can't do. But if your camera allows you, set the ISO for one of the two highest settings you can. Here are some things they may help you:
