Week 13 - April Fools

Do you do anything funny on April Fools?  I really haven't ever but I think I might try this year.  The thing is....my husband is really good at getting back at people and he's even better at it so I have to figure out how I can do this carefully!!  Hopefully I can pull off something hilarious without it backfiring on me!

Your assignment for this week is to take a picture (could be anything -- close up, snap shot, etc) of what you did for April Fools (or what you wanted to do but were to afraid to try it!)!

Week 12 - What is it?

Have you ever looked at a photo and thought to yourself....what is that?  It's either a part of something or just taken from a different angle than you are used to. 

This week your challenge is to take a moment and look at things that you might look at every day and take a picture of it causing people to go hmmm.....what is this or this is a different way to look at that!  Have fun....

Week 11 - Green Week

Saint Patrick's day is this Thursday the 17th and because I always have tried to do something fun for my boys on Saint Patrick's day....I figure it would make for a fun picture.

Let's take a picture of something green.  Let your imagination roll with this one!  Have fun and enjoy!

Week 10 - Macro Photography

Macro photography is just another word for Close up photography.  John is really good with getting awesome detail shots with his camera (which by the way is just a simple point and shoot camera)!  With a DSLR or just a regular SLR you have to make sure that you have a macro lens which helps you get UP close and personal with your subject.  But if you have a point and shoot camera just switch that camera to your macro setting and just start shooting.

Some tips for macro photography:
- Make sure that you have a clear space (maybe even a black background or a white background)
- Make sure you have plenty of light so that you can take your pictures!!
- If you are able to put your camera on a tripod because you want to avoid shaking the camera.

Your challenge for this week is to take a close up something! (Could be a picture of your jewelry - rings, necklace, charms, etc or close of cooking - spices, chocolate chip cookie, etc or a flower or animal) Let your imagination flow!!
