Get up and get active for our next challenge! There’s something about capturing the moment of an air-bound subject that evokes a sense of joy, excitement or perhaps anxiety. For the next challenge practice catching movement from an intriguing angle and/or fast shutter speed. You may want to review some Pro Tips for help in catching your subject in action: Shutter Speed, Cropping and Burst Mode.
OFFICIAL ENTRY RULES
To officially enter the Creative Challenge, you must tag your three submissions with creative-challenge-jump. You can then view them and everyone else’s submissions on the DISPLAY PAGE (it updates about every hour). To find out more about this, read the Using Tags on Creative Challenges post.
Submission Guidelines
1. Our editors look for sharp, clear horizontal images that are at a minimum resolution of 800×600 (submissions can have larger resolutions than this). Currently, vertical images cannot fit in the homepage template. Therefore, we cannot publish vertical or narrow panoramic images.
2. Images with added text or images, including watermarks, logos, copyright symbols, graphic borders, frames and time stamps, will not be considered for first place or being featured on the homepage at a later date. Collages, however, are acceptable. Images submitted should be your own.
3. Please do not submit pictures that have already been featured on the homepage.
4. The Creative Challenge runs from 12:01 a.m. on November 11 to 12:00 p.m. on November 23 (all times EST).
5. 3 pictures per person (regardless of how many member accounts you have) tagged exactly (including hyphens) with: creative-challenge-jump
*Note:Images that don’t meet the exact guidelines can be submitted and viewed for everyone to enjoy, but please understand that we cannot publish images that don’t meet minimum guidelines on the homepage. Also, now that you’re tagging your entries, you don’t need to post links in the comments section anymore.
NEXT CHALLENGE THEME: To Be Determined
We’re sorry to say the creative challenge will be put on a temporary leave over the next couple weeks. The staff is working full-time (and then some!) on a brand new design for Pro Shots which will be going live in the next month (yay!). We’re very excited about the new site, and hope you’ll love it as much as we do 
.
The Challenge should be back in a matter of weeks - you may not get as much advanced notice for the next one, but I’m hopeful that we can have one for you on the 25th.
