April Photo Hunt

It's time again for another photo hunt challenge. It has been a month since my last post. Wow. I used to post a few times a week. I don't know what has happened to me. My camera still works, I still take photos, and I still find myself editing and processing. Anyway, here are my submissions. I was not able to get all of the subjects, my bad.

1. Animals



2. Bedroom

3. Best from April 16-17



4. InFashion

5. Lawn & Garden



6. Lazy

7. Playtime



8. Rain and Water



9. Silhouette



10. Tiny



11. Huge

12. Texture

April photo hunt

There is a new photo hunt challenge for April! Check out the rules here and go there to sign up.

It is a lot of fun to see everyone's rendition of the themes or categories. This is what I love about photography...no two pictures are the same. Amy and I take totally different photos of the same object, and we process totally different. I teach her and she teaches me! So, sign up now and let's see what you have...

On a side note, here is a shot I spent some time on using a new program I found. Is this sunflare real? or added in?

February Photo Challenge

I tried to join the Photo Hunt Challenge at photohuntchallenges.com in the past, but found it hard to come up 20 or so shots to match the themes or subject. This particular challenge only requires 12 shots. There are no big prizes or showoffs, just an interesting outcome from many [people] artists who participate.

The following represents my photos for the challenge:

1a. Best from Feb 19:



1b. Best from Feb 20:



2. Black History Month


3. Canned Food:



4. EveryDay: (an obsession for me in the mornings...)



5. Hearts: (look closely at red vase...)


6. Macro:


7. Numbers:


8. Something Cozy: (our breakfast room, finally finished...)


9. Something Furry:


10. Something Red:


11. Something White:


12. View from Above:


So that wraps up my submissions for the challenge. I'll be back next week to adding more posts. Hope all of you have a good weekend. Jeff

Macro Friday Happiness

Happiness comes in many forms, and can be interpreted differently by everyone. Who can resist the Peanuts characters, Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus and the others. This globe is in my sons room. I thought I would try a macro with it. Check out other macro submissions at Blogging From Bolivia.





I must admit this is not very original. When I think I have found a great shot, I have no reason to show it. When I want to use a shot for a challenge or theme, the ideas escape me, or better yet, time slips by and I miss it.

I found a new program to process photos. I think I am going to just upload some of my latest photos to Picasa or Flickr and then link to them. I have been promising myself for months that I would do this.
