Posted by Teresa Hanafin, Boston.com Staff November 14, 2008 02:45 PM
 
Time to end the fall sports actions shots callout ... check out the gallery of the best submissions below. Again, nice job, everybody ... and make sure to try "Full screen" mode to fully appreciate the photos. Meanwhile, don't forget to enter your best "Motion" shot for November's competition (there already are more than 60 entries). Soon we'll post two polls asking you to choose the themes for both December and January so we can start to settle on themes a little earlier.

  1. I love this section; thank you!

    It would be even more helpful to us amateur photographers to see the EXIF info for posted pictures.

  1. Hi, George ... thanks for the kind words. I do supply EXIF data whenever the photographer supplies it to us, or if I pull photos off their Flickr account, as I'm doing with our next Photographer of the Week. You're right: Seeing that EXIF data is really interesting and helpful. I'll try to do a better job of encouraging everybody to include it.

NOVEMBER'S THEME Silhouettes

Convey emotion, set a mood, or create an air of mystery ... silhouettes can convey a lot in a handful of pixels. It's a challenging theme; position your subject in front of a light source, and expose for the light. One rule: Your photo must be taken this month.
Deadline: Midnight November 30
