My default is definitely portraits. I love the idea of shadows and took quite a few photos with shadows that I loved. I think shadows translate to black and white very well, but I chose this photo because I liked the light shining into Jude’s eye and the foreground of his face being in shadow … More Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 9: Artistic, Shadows
I’m a bit behind getting this posted from last week. I don’t have a wide angle lens, but this is what I came up with. I really do live in a gorgeous place and I want to work on my landscape photography skills even though it’s not my passion. I give you some of the … More Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 8: Landscape, Wide Angle/Panorama
This was a fun one. When I saw the challenge title and description (Tell someone’s story without showing their face.), I really did think of Colin right away. For someone who, for many years, didn’t want to have kids, Colin is an amazing Dad to our boys. He is a present, active, caring, challenging and … More Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 7:Portrait, Faceless
Candy! I picked up a couple of favorites of my boys – chocolate and Swedish Fish. Got some close up shots of the candy, but what’s candy if it’s not eaten? Happy boys!
I think the black and white landscapes can be challenging because it’s hard to have an image that is both high contrast and full of detail. I tried out a few different effects and have included the original image and the black and white images. Hanging out at Pilot Butte, Bend, Oregon.
Took a photo of my love this week. Handsome lad.
This week’s challenge was to do something artistic with the color red and make red the focus. When I first stated thinking about possible ideas for this week, I immediately thought of Iron Man. I love Iron Man. I also wanted to incorporate the snow as a background and then as the snow began to … More Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 3, Artistic: Red
This week’s challenge was definitely a challenge. We’ve had so much snow, grey and dreary skies and then travel became hazardous and then school was cancelled for much of the week. I had time scheduled to go out and take my landscape photos, but the weather and school schedules didn’t cooperate. I do love the … More Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 2, Traditional Landscape
Self portraits are strange, but as a highly introspective person, I think they’re pretty cool too. There are many types of self portraits – you might want to highlight your best features, or one particular trait, or show something that people might not know about you. You might want to capture a moment in time, … More Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 1, Self Portrait
I made it! I loved having a daily challenge in 2016. And it was, indeed, a challenge. In the end, I missed 6 days where I took no photos of any kind. That’s a bummer, but it also means that I took 360 photos! (I actually took so many photos this year and I love … More Words on Wednesday – Thoughts on my Photo a Day Challenge in 2016.
