Hanging in there!!!

Okay seriously I need some new models. I have had to use myself way too much in the last few challenges. So if any of my neighbors want think it would be fun to model for me let me know. Mostly my ideas are a bit goofy so I always feel bad asking people. The one above was for a challenge called Horizontal/Vertical the idea was to photograph something usually photographed Horizontal or Vertical and photograph it the other way. I came up with this goofy idea and to my surprise it actually tricks the eye pretty well. I only had to lay on that stupid rock about 20 different times before I got a decent pose. It ended up in the top 10 of the challenge.

This one was for a challenge called "Home" the idea was to photograph something that is about home. It didn't necessarily have to be your own home, but when I saw Sydnie blowing bubbles on the deck and those cool clouds behind her I decided to grab my camera and see what I could come up with. My editing was a bit sloppy on this one but I still did fairly well and scored in the top 10 of the challenge.


This one was for a challenge called "Stripes". This one I really wish I had another model for. Kaylee and I had to stand in the middle of the road while Brianne watched for cars. Luckily it's not a super busy road. But we did have a few people pass and wonder what in the world we were doing.


This one I had fun with. I borrowed some of my moms old things and then did my hair in a 1940's hairdo and posed for this one. The challenge was called "Film Noir" it was a style of movie made in the 1940's and 1950's the idea was to capture the moody lighting and film subject. This is what I cam up with:


This was for the abandoned building challenge. I actually visited several abandoned buildings on my way home to Idaho a couple weekends ago. This one was one of my favorites and what I ended up entering for the challenge.


Here is another one I stopped at on the way home. My kids were getting really annoyed with me making all the stops. Usually I have My Husband with me and he doesn't like to stop. He wasn't able to come on this trip so I was having a field day being able to stop as often as I liked.


I want to say this was one of my favorites too but I will end up saying that on all of these abandoned building shots. I guess abandoned buildings are just so fun to shoot, they have so much character.


This one really was my favorite photo, not building though. The one I entered was my favorite building. But this one had such a cool sky behind it, I can't help liking the overall scene of this one a bit more. I may still end up entering this in a challenge, the monthly free study is coming up and you can enter anything you took during the month of August.


And finally this one. I entered it in a challenge called "Time" you were suppose to convey time in some manner. I must have missed the mark I didn't score well on this one. My idea was to show how sometimes we wish time could just stand still.

This last one I did not enter in anything it's an out take for another challenge currently in judging. I just threw this one in for fun.
