I'm going easy on everyone this month. When we started the Challenge, I think most people thought of the obvious themes. Well, we have managed to avoid the obvious, for the most part. But many of you have waited patiently for animal/wildlife-specific themes, while I have laughed in your face with my "Recreation" and "Living Skies". Et cetera. Well, here it is....

MAMMALS

Show us the teat-sucking, oxygen-breathing, cud-chewing, carnivorous, omnivorous critters.

Good luck and happy shooting.

This one shall be interesting.....

MAMMALS... hm....

lol! Okay, I got some funny thoughts..... Hehehe, not award winning, but funny maybe.

Good luck everyone!

meryem,

Thanks for posting before the long weekend!! I am sure others will appreciate that!!!

I am totally up in the air on this one!! Going to have to give it some serious thought!!!!

Sounds great. Now if only Sony will fix my camera.

Meryem forgot to mention no humans, family pets or domestic animals allowed LOL......just kidding.


This is going to be a tough one.

Oh joy, I get to take footage of cows! Whooo Hoooo!

i'm sure they will be the loveliest cows ever. magic hour cows. cows at sunrise, cows at sunset. if anyone can light cows, it'll be kevin.

Dang, I was born on a dairy, raised on a dairy, have access to a lot of dairies around, so how can I think of shooting that now ??

Im sure I can find a few mammals here.I will give this challenge a lot more thought.

John, a few....???
Look at this quote from Wikipedia:
Mammals (class Mammalia) are warm-blooded, vertebrate animals characterized by the presence of sweat glands, including those that produce milk, and by the presence of: hair, three middle ear bones used in hearing, and a neocortex region in the brain. Most mammals also possess specialized teeth and utilize a placenta in the ontogeny. The mammalian brain regulates endothermic and circulatory systems, including a four-chambered heart. Mammals encompass approximately 5,400 species (including humans), distributed in about 1,200 genera, 153 families, and 29 orders,[1] though this varies by classification scheme.

I think there are a lot of them around us if we take a closer look.

Even humans are classified as mammals but I'm not sure if Meryem will allow this brutal, not-good-looking (myself in the mirror in the morning) be judged !!! ;-)

Hmmm.... wonder if i can get permisson from "The Bloodhound Gang" to use one of their soundtracks ;-)

Splendid! I've been waiting the entire UWOL challenge for something like this! I've had an idea of something I'd like to try and pull off but until now, it never fit the theme. YE HA! Nice one Meryem!

Hope you're not lactose intolerant, tee hee


Darn, I have footage of a lion attacking his owner from a couple years back, maybe I should go back to that wildlife park and agitate the lions - i'm kidding...:-)

Just back from the Alps, so just starting to think about this one.....

Great topic Meryem, can't wait for the results people :-) !
