Rather than use the use the term March Madness, which is a US college basketball tournament, I am using Mad March to emphasize that this challenge is about mad ideas and creating photographs based on those ideas. It basically is about photographing anything unusual and maybe unusual with a mad twist. This is all about creativity. Let’s see what you can come up with.

Rotated the pic, so it looks like gravity is suspended
March means hockey playoffs. My grandson’s team after they won a tied game in a shootout.

I have seen a lot of hockey this winter. For my grandson’s team, I have taken about 6000 pictures but today I was at his March playoff game with the right lens on my camera and the right camera settings to capture his first goal this year.

Mad March Construction – Escher style optical illusion
How cool is that?
Escher in the modern world….i love the wood effect and the scale aspect
I am not sure what constitutes mad, but these are a couple of winter shots I took.

Coll character in the Calgary zoo, so I thought he should have shades…

Taken downtown Calgary with cell phone. Gimp spherical filter applied.
We spent this past week in s.e. Utah on a 4 day photography trip, so I’m sending along landscape photos; however, some of these shots I think can qualify for Mad March. This one is near sunset in Monument Valley, and with the lighting, long shadows and dramatic rocks it’s quite an otherworldly image. ISO 125 46mm f/4 1/500sec.
This site is located on Cedar Mesa, a huge landform towering 1100 feet above the valley below. A hike of a bit more than a mile takes you in to a ruin called House on Fire – the ruin sits at the base of a forward leaning rock overcrop, west facing, and when the sun comes around from the south in late morning the reflection on the striations in the rock above create this dramatic image that led to the name. ISO100 49mm f/6.3 1/200sec.
