Special Challenge #100: For The Love Of Photography

This week's challenge is something a bit different to celebrate our 100th challenge.

Think back over your time as a photographer and think about what has inspired you... when you're walking around with your camera, something clicks in your head and tells you to capture an image, and that's what this challenge is about; capturing an image that, as soon as you hear the shutter release, you know is going to be something special.

The rules for this challenge are the same as prior challenges:

• Pictures must be submitted from Flickr, Picasa, min.us, smugmug, 500px.com, deviantart.com or playlookit.com so the mods can confirm that the picture is in compliance with the rules.

• Whichever site you choose to host your pictures, please make sure you've chosen to allow people to view the EXIF data for your picture so we can verify the date. Any submissions without this available are subject to being removed.

• Pictures are not to have been taken prior to Monday, December 17th, or after Sunday, December 23rd. Submissions that were not taken between those dates will be removed.

• Submissions should be posted by 7:30am EST on Monday, December 24th. Posts made after this time will not be included in the Candidate's Post.

• Post your pictures as links with the title "#100: picture title". If the submission doesn't follow this format the script that we use to compile the Candidate's Post won't include it.

• Do not upvote your own submissions from alternate accounts. That goes totally against the spirit of what this subreddit is about.

• The winner of this week's challenge won't be choosing a topic, but rather will be given a special custom flair signifying their win in this historic challenge.

The winner of Challenge #98 has posted their challenge topic and that topic will be posted next week, at which time we'll get back to business as usual.

And from all of us on the mod team, thank you... without you we'd be nothing but four people keeping watch over a barren, boring subreddit.
