52-Week Photo Challenge: Week 44

Hello, my fellow creative photographers!

Welcome to another week in my 52-Week Photo Challenge!

This week's challenge is: FLAT

Here's mine:

52-Week Photo Challenge: Week 43

Hello, my fellow creative photographers!

Welcome to another week in my 52-Week Photo Challenge!

This week's challenge is: FUN!

No, really. That's the challenge. Go find some FUN and capture it with your camera!

Here's mine:


Click to embiggen!Yup, I know it's all grainy & out of focus. Yup, I know I saturated the heck out of it (and then flicker added even more, yay). But guess what.

~ I was having fun.

~ And everyone there was having fun.

~ And editing the photo was fun.

And that is what -- not just this prompt is about, but the whole 52-Week Photo Challenge! So let's have some fun!

Take some pictures and share *your* FUN!

52-Week Photo Challenge: Week 41

Hello, my fellow creative photographers!

Welcome to another week in my 52-Week Photo Challenge!

Bet you thought I would never post this week's challenge! Well, sometimes life just takes over and there's no time for posting to the internet, but I sure did take some pics this last week!

This week's challenge is another number one; it's: SIX

Sometime during this week, take some photos centering around the number SIX. Perhaps a photo of a hexagon, or a still life of 6 fruits, or maybe the number 6 itself! Show me how *you* interpret the prompt.

Here's mine:

Click to embiggen!Four years ago our family took some photos for our very first trip to the We Shine Conference and loved it so much we had a canvas printed with it for our living room wall. With this being the final year of We Shine in its current form, we decided to recreate the photo. Weather & timing weren't entirely conducive, but we got a few great shots.

This one is the one that most closely resembles our original photo, which you can see in the comments if you click through to flickr, and I've also added my favorite from the bunch there too!

52-Week Photo Challenge: Week 40

Hello, my fellow creative photographers!

Welcome to another week in my 52-Week Photo Challenge!

This week's challenge is another color one! This time it's: BLUE

Sometime during this week, take some photos focusing on BLUE: the sky, a body of water, someone's eyes, or maybe a single blue flower in a field of yellow ones.

Here's mine:

Click to embiggen!I am so glad the weather is finally conducive to taking walks along the shore! What can you find that's BLUE near you?
