Challenges Gallery

NOTE: NEWEST ENTRIES ARE AT THE BEGINNING
This is a collection of my entries to the various Sony Talk Forum, Nikon D70 and Canon Talk Forum challenges held here on PBase and on smugmug. Most of the images don't really fit anywhere else, so I decided to make a gallery just for them. All photos taken with Sony S75, S85, P9, P7, F707, F717, V1, H1, H5 Canon S45 or Nikon D70, D200 or D300. The Sony Talk Forum Challenges (a true display of creativity and the ones that most of these images were entered into) are located at https://pbase.com/stfchallenge/root NOTE: I apologize for the size of this gallery; I prefer all my challenge images in one place but really need to split it up as it's becoming unmanageable not only to view but also to edit. Just need a bit of time for a mammoth task :-).
