Cogratularion Cameron for hugging a post. This is a perfect example of shooting in low light. @geocacheking Cameron has a heap of other equally delicious shots on his page. Go and take a look.
I shall now give this page back to Kathy @myhrhelper whose brainchild it is.
Thank you Sue@swilde for such a fun challenge and learning experience!!
@geocacheking Congratulations Cameron!! This is really a beautiful shot and I LOVE the clarity of it even though it's in the evening!
It is up to you to find an experienced photographer to host the next challenge!. We try to start them on Saturday and have them last about 4 1/2 days (ending mid Wednesday, vote on Thursday, announce winner Friday and start new challenge again Saturday).
I suggest whoever you choose to host the next challenge uses this as a format. There is a link to experienced photographers (below) you can ask to host the next challenge if you don't know of anyone to ask.

@swilde@myhrhelper Wow Sue and Kathy, thank you so much. And thank you for those of you who voted for my shot as well. I never expected when I took it or posted that it would make it to voting let alone win. :). So very exciting.
I'm lookin for the next host now, hopefully we'll have a new challenge tomorrow. Thank you all again.
@geocacheking How's your search for someone to host the next challenge going? If you can't get one started by today we should at least try for tomorrow. I think finding someone to host takes longer than originally anticipated. I discovered this myself when I had to look.
I think the main thing is not to delay it too long (a day or two isn't the worst thing) and run the challenge for 4 days, 1 day vote, then post winner next day. Also if you need there are people listed on the link above, but there are so many great photographers on this site.
I already asked someone but they are not available at this time. Currently looking for another to ask. Using the link above, thanks it is a huge help. :).
Do I need to come up with the challenge or just the photographer? @myhrhelper
@myhrhelper Just asked another. Hoping to hear back soon, also is there a list of those that have hosted already to add somewhere. Not that they can't host again but just trying to ask some that haven't yet to get a variety.
Sorry all for the mass invite but I tried it one at a time with some photographers not on the list and some from the list and the response was either a no thank you, not now but thanks, or no response as of yet. I'm desperate so I'm asking the rest (some of you again) :) If any of you could host the next camera setting challenge I (and @myhrhelper and those of us who have enjoyed these challenges and learning some more about photography and our cameras) would be grateful.
First come first served for this, if you are interested. Read above from Kathy for the format if you haven't hosted yet.
Again sorry for inviting you in a mass posting. Thanks to any an all who respond even with a no, or not now. :)
@gurry Thanks Gary. You were at the top of the list Kathy started but I wasn't sure if you had already hosted or not otherwise I would have started at the top. :) Next time I won't rely on my poor memory and go back and look at the challenge pages.
@gurry Gary, Let's plan this if you are ok with this. Whoever wins the next one will either select someone they know but if they can't get someone to start it after 24 hours of the winner being announced you will host it. Please keep your eyes open. I think for future I should always get a backup person who has already agreed to host it if the winner can't find one. So if you can be the backup for challenge #7 (you never know the winner might even select you right away too).
@pocketmouse You can use the above format for the post, but have the challenge last 4 full days, 5th day vote 24 hours, winner announced day 6.
So excited that you will host the next challenge - I can't wait to learn something new!
@myhrhelper This might be a good idea, to have a photographer pre-selected the week before for the next one if the winner does not find another in 24 hours. You may be on to something very helpful.
@mortisa The new photographer has been identified @pocketmouse Teresa we are waiting for her to post. Please post at your earliest convenience - would love to see one very soon! :) @sdpace I'm going to try to select challenges #'s and whoever has agreed to that number can be sure to watch for it. @chapjohn
@amyhughes :You are not late. I'm going to put a schedule together for challenge host backup's. This will be the backup person if a new host cannot be found from the winner of the challenge. It will be the backup person's responsibly to start the new challenge within a specific time frame.
@gurry The voting for Challenge 6 has started. I will let the winner know that you have agreed to host challenge #7 if the winner doesn't find someone to host the next challenge. Is that still agreeable to you?
If yes, please keep an eye on the results of the challenge and the progress. The winner will have 24 hours to find someone to agree or you will host it.
Also, above would be the format to use should you end up needing it.
Please let me know if you agree.
Thanks

5. Low light by doing all three: -You can have your shutter open for longer
-You can have the iris opened wider
-You can raise your ISO
4. Aperature: shooting wide open (as wide as your camera lens allowed)
3. FEC - Flash Exposure Compensation
2. Shutter speed: 1/200
1. Aperature: f5.6 only
Does that make sense?
So excited that you will host the next challenge - I can't wait to learn something new!
@gurry If you'd like to host the next one, I will bug you about it so you won't forget .xD
Next one has been posted! http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/12995/camera-settings-challenge-6-brief
