[tweetmeme]Here are the results from another great round of Epic Edits Flickr Challenge! #4 was all about “night” photos (chosen by the winner of the last round), and we had some nice looking entries once again.
The winner this round was Dustin Michelson, also known as “i_shoot_minolta” on Flickr. As the winner, he gets to choose the next topic:
CHALLENGE #5: “ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAITS”
FLICKR TAG: “EE-EPORTRAIT”
So basically a portrait, but taken in the subject’s natural environment (work, home, etc) — see Wikipedia for more explanation. Just remember that the photos must be in our Flickr pool and tagged with “ee-eportrait”. Now for the vanishing point photos, starting with my favorite:
365.20 by i_shoot_minolta
This photo stood out for me because it’s very clean with strong lines and focal points. The light draws my attention, but the vertical lines lead me away. The window in the middle of the wall adds a nice little break in the lines, and the texture on the ground looks great with that light. Oh, and what’s that sign say? Let me look closer… “NOTICE: SOMETHING SOMETHING ONLY… Damn it!” So there you go, the light draws you in and the unknown sign keeps you interested.
On with the other selections I made:

Beautiful photographs! Congratulations to all the challenge winners!
Great collection, Brian! And thanks!
I always find low light photography a challenge… Do you use your lens’ auto focus or you are already operating completely on manual already?
Great photos BTW!!! They look amazing..
I typically use autofocus when I’m on a camera that has it, but most of my film cameras are MF. I find that most newer cameras don’t have proper focusing screens for using manual focus, whereas older cameras do.
Love the industrial shots and the photo over the bridge. Really great selection here!
