2012 Photo Challenge

I wanted so badly to complete another 365 project in 2011, but it just didn't work out between life & school it was too much for me.  Well, I've finished school -  YEA!!!! -and I'm ready for my next challenge.  I've also started a new job, so my time is somewhat limited.  But between me and my friend Ingrid we came up with a great idea.

We are going to complete a photo challenge for the year 2012.  We post 2 photos a week, any day of the week and post the link to your photos on Twitter with the has tag #POTW52.  Each month will have a different theme so that we can work on some of the things that we feel can always be improved on.  There is also a flickr group - "Friends Photo a day challenge"  If you don't have a twitter account leave us a message with your flickr name & we will add you to the group.

The Challenge starts January 1, 2012 and will go through the whole year.  January's theme is Black & White images.

Hope you can join us!

Day 334: Web

This is totally experimentation.  This am shot showed great web, but I really couldn't make it pop, so instead of giving it a dark color overlay to even out the back, I put a white one on to make the web pop and then posterized it.  Experimentation sometimes gives you interesting results.

Day 253: In the middle of the creek

Yes, I literally was in the middle of this creek.  While I would love for all of you to think I suffered for my craft laying down to get this shot, I used my 12 inch gorilla pod and got an awesome perspective.  I'm not sure if this is my favorite of the day, as I tried the daily shoot today.  I think this fits the bill.

Day 135: Daffodil

The daffodils are open in my front yard, I was shooting and shooting and then went to the side of my house to get the dual-colored ones.  I couldn't get a good shot so I thought "PROFILE", and wa-la.

Day 130: Wet

 

  

It has been a wet and dreary day, and decided to use the 1000mm lens for something other than the moon.  I didn't even have to get wet, because I only opened the back door.  I didn't even plan it.

Day97

I ran outside and took a couple of shots, and then was playing in light room.  Don't ask how I got here, but to me it's like Zeus opened the clouds and is looking down upon us.  For some reason its all about Mythology today.  It also kind of fits my mood, dark, but with a light at the end of the tunnel.
