Shooting Challenge: Airports

 title=Everyone’s got at least one digital camera these days. But how well do you use it? Welcome to The Gizmodo Shooting Challenge, where Giz readers get to pit their photographic skills against each other for the admiration of their editors on a dedicated theme each week. This week’s challenge? Airports.

You can interpret the theme in any way you see fit. There are only a few rules that must be adhered to:
1. The work must be your own
2. Photos must be taken after the challenge was announced (no portfolio linking or it spoils the “challenge” part)
3. Explain, briefly, the equipment, settings, technique and story behind shot.
4. Email submissions to contests@gizmodo.com.au
5. Include 800px wide image (200KB or less) in email.
6. One submission per person.
7. Use the proper SUBJECT line in your email (more info on that below)

Send your best photo by Tuesday, May 10 at 8am AEDT to contests@gizmodo.com.au with “Airports” in the subject line. Save your files as JPGs, and use a FirstnameLastnameAirports.jpg naming convention. Include your shooting summary (camera, lens, ISO, etc) in the body of the email along with a story of the shot in a few sentences. And don’t skip this story part because it’s often the most enjoyable part for us all beyond the shot itself!

In yesterday’s rush to get to Brisbane for our reader meetup, I may have accidentally mis-scheduled this week’s shooting challenge post, so it’s running a day late. Fortunately, my planned challenge still worked thanks to us flying to Melbourne today. This shot was taken at Brisbane airport with the iPhone 4 – f2.8, 1/529 seconds and ISO 80. I know you guys can do better – can’t wait to see your efforts next week!
