I've been waiting and watching our skies this week but they have been so drab, hope something looks better in the next couple of days. I'm trying to shoot something new for each week and do as much as I can from my our yard or neighborhood.
Sylvia - The mason jar lamp in the color photo has such a nice warm feeling but the B&W is so fitting for a mason jar that I think I like it the best, nice to see the difference.
Linda - You have such a nice view!
Marie - That fabric has nice contrast and still shows the texture.
Patsy - You can almost feel the winter day in your B&W. Your sunrise has such nice colors, I really like it too. I don't see sunrise very often, I'm one of those late to bed late to rise kinda people here lately. Gonna try to do better and see what I'm missing in the mornings.
Brenda - I like that lake shot, very nice feeling. Your B&W is really cool, love the contrast and texture that it shows.
I'm having fun doing this and enjoy learning new things about the camera.
Stephanie has been really busy, doing some renovating at home - putting in a temporary kitchen until she can do what she really wants to do. Hope she will get some time this weekend to get back on here and get caught up.

I've been waiting for a great sky to shoot a photo of. Last night we had a gorgeous sunset over the trees in my neighborhood. The only way to see it is from my second story. We have screens on our windows which would strongly influenced the photo in a bad way. I let the opportunity go. Dang! It's been a week of blue skies and cold temps here in western Washington.Not complaining. Love blue over grey.

Here is my sky picture. I took it today in downtown Minneapolis. I am looking up at the top of the IDS building which is 50 storeys tall. The sky is always so clear and blue after a snow storm.

Marie,
That is a very cool picture!
Our skies are still just a dull overcast gray with showers, not expecting to see the sun until next wednesday.

Brenda - thanks for the site, looks like a lot of good info.
We had overcast gray skies all week, but yesterday it started to clear for awhile and I thought we might get a nice sunset but rain clouds moved in late afternoon so... but we did get some nice dark rain clouds which I think looked kinda cool behind these big industrial tanks, so here's my sky pic

Brenda,
The challenge for last week was "looking down", the challenge for this week is "framed". Here is a link to the 52 weeks
pinterest.com/pin/174162710561711260/
Most seem to have lost interest in this, I think it may be that people are just to busy right now. I am going to continue on my own just for the experience and to learn all the functions of my camera. If you want to play I will continue to post. I talked to Stephanie to see if she wanted to maybe just put this on hold until after the first of the year and see if there would be more interest.
What do you think?
Kathy

I think after the first would be great!! I really like doing this, but I've been so busy with holiday things that this has been pushed way back on the to do list! I plan to pick up or join back in after Christmas. I think others will too.

The only reason I haven't put up a picute is because I didn't know the assignment. The link Kathy posted is broken or maybe I just can't access it. I believe someone should post the challenge here every Sunday so that everyone is properly informed. I will do the Looking Down and Framed this week.

Here's my looking down photo
It's a drop of water just as it's hitting a bowl of water. I started with plain water, then added some blue food coloring but wasn't dark enough so I added a little bit of red coloring. It took a lot of photos until I got one that was just right. Had fun working on this, hope y'all enjoy it.

Yes, the Christmas season, work and family have been getting me behind also. I can wait till after the first of the year, but I truly do want to become a better photographer. When I see the pictures posted on MJF's boards and in the magazine, I realize how far I have to go, to learn about photography.
The Pinterest link posted above does not work for me. Was the board moved or re-named? I am on Pinterest and can view the MJF boards but can't find one that seems to relate to this thread.
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands - You shall be happy and it shall be well with you. -Psalm 128.2

Here is my Looking Down picture. It was taken on the snowy sidewalk outside the school at which I volunteer.

Are we still interested in the photo challenge now that the holidays are over?
My mother keeps telling me I need to come update the thread and I get busy and forget. Hubby has been sick for over a week, Christmas was busy for us, just having trouble remembering to come. Sorry girls.
So good to be back home!! |

As some of us have said, the link to the list of challenges is too difficult to read. I would suggest starting a new thread with the challenges numbered 1 - 52 and clearly posted at the top. The challenges can be marked off as the week passes. It will take a little work up front and after that, the thread can be self-administered until 2015.
