IA PHOTO CHALLENGE #7!!!!

[.blank cd]

This weeks challenge was proposed by my man NerdsRock. After seeing it, I took to it quite nicely. The subject this week is Camera Toss. The info is at the bottom of this post, but basically its pretty self explanatory. I am in no way advocating that you photographers throw your expensive equipment around (However, you can do so at your own risk) . So break out that point and shoot. Its been said the p&s sometimes delivers the best results anyway. This challenge is open to everyone who has some kind of picture taking apparatus.

Have fun with this one!

hey guys, I can help too if yall have any questions.

This can be easily done with a cell phone cam, all of my camera toss stuff (http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewwesleycarter/sets/72157602869269111/) has been done with my motorola SLVR.

DO NOT TOSS YOUR SLR. :no:

im gonna leave this one for the camera phone / P&S professionals lol



This is one of those tricky techniques that puts your camera directly into harms way. You are actually flinging your camera into the air, in hopes that you will catch it! However, there is a certain finesse to this sport, and with a couple of pointers you can be well on your merry camera tossing way!




lmao

Nope, gonna have to pass on this one.

if you have a tripod, or a good neck strap, you can swing an SLR around that way. Just FYI.

why not just use your phone? No one is saying you should use an SLR at all.
