wowza! This was HARD!!! You all did an amazing job and I hard the most agonizing time choosing only 5 photos... In the end I hope you agree with my choices, although there were several more that I wanted to throw in there lol. I love how I got to learn something as well, as I shoot mainly with prime(or fixed)lenses, so it was great to see so much info. on how aperture is affected by the zoom when shooting in semi-auto modes like AV or A. I also love that so many of you stepped off into Manual and learned that YOU can control the camera instead of the other way around. Once you get into M mode it is hard to give back any of the control:)
This year I have had a hard time getting on 365 due to so many things pulling me in different directions, but I am once again amazed at how helpful, knowledgeable and talented people here really are. I think hands down, this is the best photo community on the web, and I have tried a few. Thank you @myhrhelper for thinking of me for this challenge- I hope I did it justice! Voting will end on Friday 12 noon pacific time and a winner will be announced. The winner will then pick the topic for the next challenge. THANK YOU and happy voting!!!
@4stories Typically we only have voting a one day about 24 hours on Thursday. Friday as early as possible the winner is announced so that individual has time to select an experienced professional and the new challenge should start early Saturday (in some cases late Friday). You did a fantastic job and I really enjoyed learning more about apertures and in particular high aperture which is a low fstop number. (Did I say that right?).

Congratulations to each of you! What amazing photo's! Please start considering who you would choose to host the next challenge should you be selected. Here is a link to some individuals who have agreed to host future challenges. However, you do NOT have to select one of them, it is only there as a reference if needed. I would like to add people to this list as well.
Liz, while I appreciate the time and effort you put into making the collage of your choices, it would be great if you instead posted the original images from each person's album. Not only is it much simpler for you, but it allows the voter to view each image at full size, and also gives more exposure to the photographers. @4stories
@gurry -duly noted:) I will post the links to the photogs It was a crunch getting it up this morning- I have 4 kids, two graduations and a pile of stuff happening. I apologize if the format is not what was wanted- I did the best given my full plate :)
@4stories Thank you again so much for hosting this challenge! I can honestly say I have learned so much from it and so glad you selected the specific challenge you did!
At your earliest convenience if you could announce the winner that would be great, so he/she can start finding a host to start a new challenge tomorrow.
Tweets ahoy!
