Weekly Photo Challenge: Weathered This week I've been back home visiting family and doing a bit of storm chasing - the midwest U.S. has had some wild weather! I've been driving around back roads and seeing some history amongst the nature. This week, the challenge is to.... Photograph Something Weathered
Weekly Photo Challenge: Simplicity I love this challenge! I admire photographers who specialize in minimalism and follow a number of them, but it's not necessarily something that I'm very good at seeing myself....
When I posted the photo above of Jackson Falls, a comment made by one of my Facebook followers struck me. Paraphrased, he said that I was so lucky to find such good light. I wasn't sure how to respond to his comment. Yes, in some ways I was lucky in the weather and the lighting conditions I found when I hiked down to this waterfall, but the light he's responding to isn't just a matter of luck....
Weekly Photo Challenge: Photograph Falling Water I'm out photographing waterfalls this week. Spring's been wet and that, in my area, leads to waterfalls. I'm out in Shawnee National Forest hiking up and down trails to find these elusive waterfalls. By which I actually mean hiking down and then UP trails - it's the nature of waterfalls that they start "up there" and go "down there". To photograph them, I generally have to be at the bottom. Sigh....
The fire at Notre Dame in Paris shook the world this week. We simply can't take for granted the beauties of our world - even if they've stood for generation after generation - it could be our generation that sees the destruction. It's time to get out and visit those places that we've been meaning to photograph and never got around to it - those places that we think aren't going any where - those places that we think are going to be there next week or next month or next year - those places that we think we have time for later.
Weekly Photo Challenge:Orange It's a color challenge this week. I don't do these very often, but I seem to have brought back a whole lot of orange from India and it's got me seeing the color everywhere. This week the challenge is to.... Photograph the Color Orange
What some amateur photographers might not realize when they first get into digital photography is that nearly every image you see in the media has been altered in some way. Taking the photo is only the first step, post-processing digital photography is an art unto itself. In a class I'm teaching tonight, I'm going to talk about three main ways photographers use post-processing...
Weekly Photo Challenge: Found Art I was out photographing yesterday and realized that I was finding art everywhere. Sometimes, it was art that was meant to be art and sometimes it was art only because I was seeing it as art. This week's theme is to....Photograph Found Art
Weekly Photo Challenge: In the Garden It’s finally spring where I live! The trees are budding and the first of the spring flowers are in bloom. The air has the smell of spring. I’ve gone out this week just to breath it in. I’m shaking off my winter photographic blahs. This week, the challenge is to go out and...Photograph In the Garden
I’ve been struggling a bit with photo-envy lately - or maybe it’s more “experience-envy” - the feeling that everyone is doing interesting things and getting better photos than I am. Even if you’re not a photographer, you may know what I’m taking about. Other people, not necessarily anyone specific but "people" in general, are leading more exciting lives. I took a drive and I set a couple of ground rules for myself:
Weekly Photo Challenge: Round Things This week I’m going to sent you off on a quest to photograph round things. I'm specifically thinking spheres, but I'll leave the challenge open for other round things.
