Close Encounters of the Third Kind...




I was never one to believe in aliens, but tonight's sighting of paranormal activity here in Palmyra, VA has me convinced- Aliens DO exist(insert twilight zone music...). And they ARE little green men and they DO drive around in weird saucer-like spaceships that emit bright glowing lights- no doubt used to teleport their victims into their spaceships and take them back to planet Zebulon to do all sorts of crazy testing that will help them figure out HOW TO TAKE OVER PLANET EARTH!!!! (REEEE-REEEE-REEEE-REEEE).

Okay, okay, I am totally kidding on this one- so those of you who were wondering which one of us was abducted can relax- we are all safe. I just wanted to post this shot up on the blog to do a fun little contest-

If you can guess what this shot is, you will be the winner! So what is the prize you ask? Well, forget cash or gift cards, the person who comes the closest in their guess will be featured in a SWEET digital drawing that will be a one of a kind piece of art that I will post here on the blog later! Really, you don't want to miss this! You think you like my work with the camera? Just you wait (BWAHAHAHA!)! There is unlimited guessing on this- the person who comes closest first will win. Just leave a comment in the comment box below. I will be in Utah this week, but I will keep this post going throughout the week. I may periodically give some clues in the comment box, so check back if you are stumped. Here is a clue to get you started:

This shot was taken in our home just after sundown.

And for all those that just lurk here, don't miss out on the fun! (Ahem- Mom, April, any clients of mine who check this blog...) Here are instructions on how to leave a comment-

Click below the post where it says 'comments'- then click where it says 'nickname'- then just type in your name (you can leave URL blank)- then click 'publish your comment'. VOILA! Easy as pie!

Have fun! Can't wait to hear your guesses!

Nate said...

oh, i guess i should have read the rest of the entry before guessing... oops... i don't think you have a stop light in your home... so maybe a flashlight? i'll keep thinking...

nate and hill said...

we have no clue but here is our first guess. buzz light year's laser

nate and hill said...

sunlight reflecting off of a clock

Oooh, good guesses guys!
Nate and hill, you are so close with the buzz lightyear's laser guess.

Here is another hint- it is a toy of Jace's but it is not Buzz related.

OK- Here's my guess, is it a light saber? They seem to be a hit amongst the little boys running around my house! Aly

i'm out, i always go for the boring wooden toys so i have no clue.

Hmmm...35mm (normal perspective), f/2.2(shallow depth of field), and 1/40 sec. exposure. Tricky. I'm going with 1. the Key Chain Flashlight, or 2. the wind up flashlight.

a laser pointer

the light on jace's new watch

mandy carroll said...

Good guesses, everyone! You are all so close- but not quite. This is gonna be tough!

Okay- one more clue:
Jace has to be closely monitored when using this toy, despite it being relatively kid safe. He likes to harm Ethan with it and he (and the toy) has spent lots of time in "time out" as a result.

Jace's dart gun?

My guess is.... One of Jace's little flashlights shining from the inside of his nose??? Cheek maybe?
