I can't believe it's week 18 already. Thanks everyone for submitting their photos for the challenges. This week's challenge is 'overexposed'. Traditionally, overexposure is seen as something wrong...but can you produce something good with it?

2023 Lissabon RB 05250109

I had to expose extremely to the right to get a clerar background and to get the white skin of the girl right.

2020 Teufelstein RB 9256

A bright foggy winter day. Overexposing to eliminate the horizon to make the hills float.

I think this might apply. I took a series of photos with a local flying around. Most of them were of an airplane in a blue featureless sky. Then I noticed the airplane at a distance through the trees. The sky is almost blown out but I like the way the trees frame the photo. (Even got a little prop arc.)

Hopefully Nikon will ship a few more 180-600 lenses - I still haven't received my pre-order. I might just give up and keep this old sigma 150-600.
