I'm super excited about this weeks theme because I love faces and I love eyes; however, this week has already brought surprises. Monday I was jumping back into the routine and I ran outside to snap a few quick shots. When I returned inside I heard a huge crash and ran upstairs to find my youngest crying and her head bleeding. This is what resulted....
So I went into full fledged Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03258169902369059630noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702446605163309379.post-61238312638235159542015-05-20T15:42:00.001-04:002015-05-20T15:42:11.261-04:00Changing from 365 to 52
As with almost everything in my life when I decide to do something I usually dive in the deep end instead of taking the more thoughtful and slow approach. I have once again found myself having a very hard time keeping up with what I assumed would not be a problem. As I was researching 365 photo challenges I read and saw that some people start by doing a 52 photo challenge. The 52 photo challengeMaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03258169902369059630noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702446605163309379.post-41404173923098790422015-05-20T15:34:00.001-04:002015-05-20T15:34:54.046-04:00Week #20: Perspective
So I completely missed this week. I was actually very excited about this theme so I think I'm going to move it to another week so that I get a chance to experiment with perspective. Here are a few of my favorites from other photographers to give you an idea of some of the creative shots that can be taken to force perspective.
Again all of these shots are from other talented Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03258169902369059630noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702446605163309379.post-38028723910016291932015-05-09T15:49:00.001-04:002015-05-09T15:50:13.697-04:00Week #19: Black and White (Day 118)
Day 118
Today I am going to cheat a bit and repost a picture from several months ago. I loved this picture and it was one of my very few black and white pictures so I wanted to post it again. Next week's theme is perspective. I'm already intimidated. I'll have to figure out how that differs from Macro and get a bit more creative.

This week's theme is Black and White. Unfortunately Black and white has never really been my thing so this will definitely stretch me and my skills. I normally love to see color. I love the eyes and how they pop in the right light, the brilliant greens of spring and the striking colors that surround us. Hopefully after this week I will discover the beauty and timelessness of black and white.&Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03258169902369059630noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702446605163309379.post-86621833687878439782015-04-29T13:00:00.000-04:002015-04-29T13:00:04.918-04:00Week #18: Water (Day 108)
