Thanks to everyone for contributing and getting involved with our first challenge! We'll be posting a new challenge tomorrow, and our plans are to run a new challenge every other friday (giving you two weeks to go out and shoot photos for each challenge).

A very special thanks also goes out to the site moderators...Mdowdey, manda, and twistmyarm for the extra work they put into this!

Well according to the polls it looks like the winner is photo number 5.
Photo 5 was submitted by Luckydog. He didn't have any fireworks (in the traditional sense) going on so he took a picture of a "Static Electricity Discharge (not a dying star or a spontaneously combusting ping pong ball)" (Luckydog).
The photo was taken with ISO 100 film, with the shutter set to 0.5 secs and the aperture value at F5.6.
Congrats Luckydog. You have the privilege of being the first ever winner of the Photo Forum Photo Challenge and with that comes...ah well nothing really, but feel free to brag all you want.
Nice work Luckydog and good luck to everyone on the next challenge!

Thanks to all for your comments. Must admit it's my first ever placing in a comp.
I haven't been able to do any water shots yet and i'm quickly running out of time.
I think it's over to the other Aussies in here to keep up the tradition

Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!
