February Photo Assignment: Two

[jdesigns]

Thanks again to all those that participated in January's photo assignment.

This month the subject is "two". Use your imagination to come up with what "two" means to you!

Now get out there and shoot!

What?! No examples?? I guess I will be forced to put my imaginaion to work. Drat. I'm sure I'll figure something out. How hard can "two" be?

[squeebug]

not sure but i'm sure it's easier than "three"

Two..hmm.

My wife Ellen and Echo my cat. TWO things I love.

A friend of mine took this at San Francisco International. I'll see if I can get the info. I've had the pic a while loitering on my computer.

Relax TJ, no they are not really THAT close. By using a telephoto lens, the subjects get comressed. Go take a look at the backgrounds in the Lens Focal Length thread. See how the background "seems" to get closer? That is the "trick" used in this photo.

Tell me there aren't too close.

These two airplanes are making what know as a "parallel visual approach" meaning it's a converging straight-in approach to the runway and the pilots of each aircraft have the other one in view and the airport. This procedure is only done in good weather. Airplanes are normally staggered a little (one slightly behind the other) as you can see in the picture. They are separated laterally depending on distance from the airport, from several miles to about 500 feet as they approach the end of the runway. This work real well in good weather keeping the airplanes arriving with minimal delays. When the weather gets bad these procedures are not used, as you wouldn't be able to see the other aiplane to maintain separation.

Hope this helped.

We went out early this morning after it snowed last night to take care of our horse, appropiately named "Stonewall" with our trusty Fuji S3000 digital. I remembered the assignment, and, nt knowing anything really about photography tok this:

Great shot but is that even possible.

Looks like a disaster in the making.

See, that's what I am saying. I understand what Justin had to say, but man...it just looks awful close.


Here is another two shot.
