Every 3rd Lubab is a photographer these days… so the odds are with us. Not surprised. (doesn’t require college diploma)

Suma, $1000 if you could take a shot like that. ps: what aperture and film speed would you use? would you go with a lower or higher iso? i’m also curious as to what lens type you’d choose; fish eye, wide angle, zoom? Lastly, have you figured out how to handle the vignetting in the shot or did you not give it much thought…?

Congrats and it’s a great picture, but he came 3rd. He did not win.

LOL Jona, absolutely right. I would have used a higher iso, i prefer 1000+. Otherwise suma needs a photography course.

How many Lubavitch photographers does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: Three: one to do the work, and two to say ”I could have done it better.”
I hope you get the point!
It was in this week’s parshah: Ve’ahavta l’reiacha komoicha!
Think before you open your mouths!
Kol tuv, and hatzlocha rabba to ALL the Lubavitch photographers out there, and mazal tov to this prizewinner, Bentzion Elisha!
To Prof Suma
College Diploma is overrated if you don’t intend to do much with it and if you don’t have much commen sense to back it up. Everyone can get a college diploma, not everyone can win a photography competition. Suma please post some of your fine photos on the website you have been meaning to set up but haven’t quite gotten around to do it.
