A photo challenge starting January 5th 2009. One image only, normal size restrictions apply (1000 pixel maximum width or height recommended - if vertical we suggest 700 pixels maximum width). No followup images (comparisons) except by those who have not already posted their one image. Discussion welcome - please only repeat images in discussion posts if absolutely essential. Aster has been appointed moderator of this forum in recognition of her commitment to making it great fun. This does not prevent others from setting challenges!

One image only, normal size restrictions apply (1000 pixel maximum width or height recommended - if vertical we suggest 700 pixels maximum width). No followup images (comparisons) except by those who have not already posted their one image. Discussion welcome - please only repeat images in discussion posts if absolutely essential. Participants should provide basic camera data (body, lens, ISO, mode, exposure over-ride or WB settings), and details of raw processing and subsequent PP.
As no-one else has yet started one of these I'll kick it off. I captured this image of my son having a 'kitchen sink' bath at the age of two. The camera was an Olympus C-750, I can't recall now if the flash fired - but I don't think it did as there was a large kitchen window immediately to the right flooding the area with light. No softening or sharpening has been applied overall or selectively. Left and right has been masked and filled with a graduated black to transparent overlay and then converted to B&W.

So start looking through your old files (or shoot it tomorrow) and find something interesting, cute or quirky that you can show us all as an example of portraiture captured on anything BUT an SLR.
Closing date will be Dec 12th, no more than 3 images. I will announce a judge(s) after I've had confirmation that the person(s) are willing to take on the responsibility.

Just so we're all on the safe side and the right track everyone, this challenge is only open to non-SLR cameras.
C.D.C. is short for 'C'ompact 'D'igital 'C'amera.
Any compact digital camera from any brand including mobile phone cameras are eligible.
Thanks

my mistake, didn't read all. It was mentioned: anything but an SLR.
Have to admit that I couldn't understand what's a CDC except for Center for Disease Control.
I'm removing my shot. Sorry again.
Hi Dr. Harout and welcome back after your trip! Nice to have you around.
Nothing to be sorry of really!
There are two additional challenge options which you can read about in the Photo Challenge section. I announced them last week.
One of them is the non-(D)SLR, C.D.C.s:
No Flash.. but No light at all either. out here when it's dark it's like your eyes stopped working. this was during a power failure. She was terrified but she managed to get to sleep afterall and I was afraid of waking her. This and the last shot were F717 shots. this one was in nightshot mode (IR)
Is the Dimage 7Hi a "Compact" or a "point and shoot"?
I took this picture at dusk, somewhere in the middle of Mauritania while we were waiting for the tide to leave us drive trought the beach.
