New Old Film Challenge #47 - The Decisive Moment - entries thread`- POLL ADDED

[abdoujaparov]

Henri Cartier-Bresson famously defined his photography as capturing the Decisive Moment. Let's have your decisive moments - any shot where the shutter was tripped at just the right time, or when tripping it at a different time would have led to a different final image (or, of course, anything else you can shoehorn in as decisive )

Entries will be open for a week, until midnight next Friday, the 16th September.

Voting will be open for 3 days after that.

These usual rules apply:-

Must have been shot on film
Must have been shot by you
Must have been shot before this challenge started, so something from your archives please.
Also, please include as much info as you can, if you can remember. Location, camera, film etc.

Post entries here, talk about it here

Brecon canal, Nikon f601, Nikkor 50mm f1.4, AGFA Vista.

I like this a lot, but I'd have liked it a lot less if I hadn't pressed the button just as the owner was emerging from the cabin and looking at me.

It's not very often I take photos of people, but I saw this guy on his phone at Cabots Circus shopping centre in Bristol and I thought it looked good. He'd gone before I could wind on to the next frame and take a second, but luckily this one came out just as I had hoped.

Olympics 2012 technical rehearsal - the moment the fireworks were lit. Only one of the Olympic rings had fireworks for the rehearsal but still a spectacular moment.

I had asked the guy in advance if it was OK to photograph him, so I just took a few shots when the right composition cropped up and he was really engaging with the high street shoppers. Another one from my Konica FC-1 days and processed in my utility/darkroom probably late 90s.

I didn't decide to take a picture of someone going down like a sack of spuds, so I dunno if it qualifies..

Nice shot! Bit of a magenta tint, though.

Yeah. The entire roll came out like that. I could fix it in Lightroom, but I tend not to alter those things on film shots as it feels a little like it's defeating the point (although the magenta tint could be a result of the processing rather than the film).

Where did I leave my boat was converted from an old colour negative taken on a Nikormat EL with 28mm lens (I think)

Poll added - vote!

 

[abdoujaparov]

Plenty of entries, a wide spread of votes, but a deserved first place for @Asha 's decisive moment. Congratulations!

#48 is over to you.

Blimey ...quite a lead on the runners up.

A very decisive moment for the young man doing the somersault, however I didn't think it would be a winner!

Anyway as it is, we have the Peaks film meet this coming weekend, following which I'm staying in the UK without access to the internet until the 7th October!!

What do you guys want to do....delay the next challenge until after I return home next month?? OR pass the next challenge theme choice over to the two runners up @Walsh & @pentaxpete ?

Personally I think the latter option is probably the most practical

Well done Asha, that really was a decisive moment!

 

[RaglanSurf]

Well done Asha, it's a cracking shot.

Don't think you're getting out of chosing the next challenge, there's no reason why it can't be extended to 2 weeks, You've got time to pick a theme and find a shot so just get on with it and stop your faffing!
