This is the best I can do while I'm on deadline. No PP to speak of, but I did heal out identifying details. And other than choosing an artsy spot to put my glasses, everything else is as-is... really, I work in this filth.

Oh, and the "garbage," obviously, is my Conclusion.

EDIT: Shoot, I killed the EXIF. I'm obviously very, very serious about winning this week, so I'll repost with EXIF intact if you'd like. And looks like I've got some JPEG artifacts from my crappy conversion job, too. Shucks.

EDIT 2: And goodness gracious, will you look at the barrel distortion on this this lens at its shortest focal length? If I didn't love this glass, I'd hate it.

ISO 100, f/22, 4", 18mm; on a 450D with 18-200.

OK. So after much fretting and running around a got my gear back. Only to be a little disappointed with what was on the card. But this was what I thought was the best one. Note all the diff venders.

I don't have exif data because the original file has lost.

[Slicer]

Quite a collection of different coffee vendors.

Good efforts by everyone so far! According to the rules we can post multiple images. The wife and I are going on a daytrip somewhere this weekend and hopefully will get some good shots of trash among other things. Can probably take some shots of the backseat of my truck, lol, it's getting messy back there!

[0ldsch00ld0g]

Hmmm, so far I like the Coke case and the Banana. They seem to be deeper then my mass colection of venders.

[Slicer]

I like bdbox's truck. I wonder how that would look in hdr

[0ldsch00ld0g]

Well this is the last day. I wunder if anyone will get in last min.

[Slicer]

it's been dead..=( maybe the subject matter?

[chopper5654]

thats why its a great challenge, imo. its hard to make trash "artsy." ive been busy with work and havent had the camera out but for 30 minutes total over the past week or so. :(

[ckort]

I haven't had the time myself. I've been shootin eagles and dogs the last week. Though I did see a great opportunity for a trash photo but did not have my camera with me :confused:. I thought the "trash, garbage and litter"subject was a great idea, I hope to be involved with the next one.

[0ldsch00ld0g]

I liked the subject. Wanted to do more but like everyone was busy. I installed a tub suround last weekend. I hate caulking :(.. I'm in for the next round.

[Goincarcrazy]

Forgive me, but I've had NO time to participate. Working more + wedding planning takes every bit of free time, haha. I'll try to throw my hat back in shortly!

[Slicer]

Whelp, Oldsch00ld0g likes Turbo's and I like bdbox's Since we are the only ones to chime in and since bdbox didn't post the exif data, I guess Turbo wins it.

Congrats Turbo_911

If we follow suit, it's left in your hands to pick another challenge.
