30 DAY PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE - DAY 29

Today's Photo in the 30 Day Photography Challenge is "From a Distance"

Now, I'm not sure if I mis-typed this on the original Schedule, but Hey!, I'll just run with it.  This photo was taken at Sherwood...I was just driving and saw the Cityscape in my rear vision mirror so I stopped the car, hopped out and snapped it quickly in the middle of the road before I was taken out but a random motorist screaming up the hill :)

Well, I'm nearing the end of my 30 Day Photography Challenge and really found it very hard (obviously) to keep up with taking a photo a day...God knows how those dedicated folks out there manage a "365 Project"!! :)

30 DAY PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE - DAY 28

The Photo for Day 28 in the 30 Day Photography Challenge was "Flowers"

I have chosen to take a pic of the bunch of flowers I gave my beloved Mum for Mother's Day...not too exciting but really, flowers are beautiful enough not to need to much "work"..... :) Can anyone tell it's nearing the end of the 30 days?? :D

30 DAY PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE - DAY 26

The Photo for Day 26 in the 30 Day Photography Challenge was "Close up"

This is a photo of a "Puff Ball" from my Mother's Garden...not sure that that is the real Botanical name for the flower itself but the kids christened them as "Puff Balls" so I'm going to run with it..

30 DAY PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE - DAY 25

The Photo for Day 25 in the 30 Day Photography Challenge was "Something Pink"

I had plenty of photos of Pink Marshmallows, Pink flowers etc but as usual settled on the prettiest "something (in) pink" I could find :)

30 DAY PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE - DAY 24

The Photo for Day 24 in the 30 Day Photography Challenge was "Animal"

I was toying with the idea of getting a photo of one of the kids eating (which would definately fit the Bill), but instead thought I'd go with the obvious photo...My dog, Gypsy.

What a mistake!! She may be fluffy and cute but I have now realised that Cavoodle puppies are really as dumb as a bagful of hair! Really!!? How hard is it to "Sit" and "Stay"!!! This was the best I could get after basically filling my memory card with out of focus and out of frame photos!! :)

30 DAY PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE - DAY 23

The Photo for Day 23 in the 30 Day Photography Challenge was "Sun Flare"

I took a few photos during the day today but the sun was too high...I was patient, waited until the afternoon and got this lovely photo of the Sun behind Mum's beloved Roses. I love the lovely soft and dreamlike effect the Sun Flare gives..

30 DAY PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE - DAY 22

The Photo for Day 22 in the 30 Day Photography Challenge was "Hands"

What better day than Mother's Day to show a couple of my favourite hands...My Mum and my Daughter... lovely! :)

30 DAY PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE - DAY 21

The Challenge for Day 21 in the 30 Day Photography Challenge was "Faceless Self Portrait"

Seeing I was at Mum's today with her abundance of Autumn leaves I thought it very fitting to weave them into my "Portrait". These are the "Self Portraits" that I like! :)

30 DAY PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE

Oh Dear!! How slack have I been in the 30 Day Photography Challenge?! :( I know it's cheating but I intend to get back up-to-date, even if it means taking the last 8 days Photography Challenges in ONE DAY!!! Wish me Luck and Stay Tuned this afternoon / evening for what are, hopefully, some beautiful photos!  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you lovely Mummies out there! :)

30 DAY PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE - DAY 20

Today's Photo in the 30 Day Photography Challenge is "Bokeh"

I love the Bokeh effect...it makes the photo look dreamy. I would love to create a Bokeh Hood for my camera so I can get the "Heart" effect rather than the circles....one day...one day :)

Anyway, here is my submission.  I call it "A Vaseful of Bokeh"

Hope you like it :)

30 DAY PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE - DAY 19

Today's Photo in the 30 Day Photography Challenge is "Something Orange"

Photograph a Mandarin? Photograph an Orange? Photograph an Oompa Loompa?....Well, that would mean that I have to get up out of my "Nerd Chair".....it's Friday night, I'm tired...what's close and within hands reach?........MY PAPERWEIGHT!!! YAY!!!

30 DAY PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE - DAY 18

Today's Photo in the 30 Day Photography Challenge is "Your Shoes"

What can I say...there is only one word that needs to be used "Ipanema"...the most comfy shoes in the world!! :)

30 DAY PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE - DAY 17

Today's Photo in the 30 Day Photography Challenge is "Technology"

After searching around the mountains of old keyboards, USB cables, mice, more cables, things I don't even know what they hell they are and more cables in my Study I finally found what, I think, I was looking for...I think it's a Mother Board or an Audio Dohicky...(really, I have no idea what it is but it looks pretty cool)..

30 DAY PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE - DAY 16

Today's Photo in the 30 Day Photography Challenge is "Long Exposure"

I have to admit (although it's pretty obvious) I added a Photoshop Filter to this shot to make it abit more "abstract" :)

It was a photo of my daughter waving around her pink Light Saber in the backyard.  I added a "Liquify" filter in Photoshop. I love fiddling around with different effects and filters to see what can be created.
