After a LONG yet wonderful week of what I deemed the One Shot Challenge, the results were phenomenal to say the least! What a great group of photographers that took up the dare to

“… take only one picture for the day.ONE shot to set up your white balance, color, lighting, and composition. No over processing, no sharpening, just straight out of the camera goodness!”

Some great submissions were made and here are what came of last week’s challenge:

Not to play favorites, but Rudy Lopez knocked it out of the park with his photos! He also did a great job explaining his anxiety around only having one shot and his feelings when setting up the photos. I still think my favorite is his specific kind of blue.
