 Not sure how this one will do. The theme says ANY CAMERA, so a video camera should qualify. But who knows how many will claim DNMC. I will be happy with a 5.5 or higher, but these can go either way depending on the mood of the voter.

This was taken at the high school awards night. The "captured" soldier by the camera was not ever actually captured that I'm aware of. He was there to present a scholarship or two. But his expression in this shot allowed the double meaning of the camera capturing the soldier.

I took a few shots of him with the camera and then wanted to capture the image on the video camera. Had to take several to get the flash and the ambient lighting to work right.

A laundry list of edits in this one. Saved offline if necessary, but nothing spectacular really. I wanted the screen to be dominant and the soldier within that.

Hope you all liked it. We'll see in a week or so.
