Week 6

The word for this week is: "Abstract".  This is a painting I did that I loaded into my ipod and applied several apps to it.  I merged an image of a forest of "quaking aspens" which gave me the effect of scratches.  Share your links in the comment area so we can view your abstract photos! 

Week 3

"Mirrored" is this weeks word prompt and here is a sample of what an iphone app called: Snapseed can do.  Have fun with this and share your links with us in the comments below.  We'll come and take a peek at your images too!

Week 2

I will not be sharing the linky widget anymore.  It isn't working the way it should, so if you wish to share an image with us, please leave a link via the comments below.  Thanks!

Week 1

Our first of 52 word prompts is "Resolution".  Do you make a list of the goals you hope to achieve during the coming year?  Do you visualize them?  If so, why not take some photos and tack them up in a place where you can see your thoughts and be reminded of your commitment to yourself.  Or share them on your blog or flickr, etc. and post a thumbnail here with a link to your photo(s), via the new linky widget.  (I'm hoping it works for everyone, if not I'll simply remove it.)  So put on your thinking caps, or make a list and then start snapping away.  Or dust off those older images and share them with us.  Don't be afraid to use those apps or digital software to alter your photos if you like!  Just have fun and share with us!

Mister Linky's Magical Widgets -- Thumb-Linky widget will appear right here!

Coming Soon!

I've been thinking about what I might be able to share with you this coming New Year, which is almost here! I thought I would like to clean up this site and start with some interesting photo challenges.  Specialty types of photos for DSLR and camera "phone" users.  (I recently discovered how awesome these are!!)
I hope to share a combination of tutorials, some shared links to tutorials, shared links to videos and maybe I'll do a few videos, showing how to create the different photo effects, digitally. 
This is a digitally manipulated photo of a "Partial Silhouette" that I did for CreativeSouls  We are doing silhouette photos all this month in the photography group. It's a fun environment to share with others and get some great feedback and inspiration.  I will be referring to this group often, as we continue to build up the groups that are offered there.  This is a free group site, but if you are interested in selling products, there will be some new membership options coming soon!  I hope you will check it out!  Remember: Membership is free!

November 2011 Challenge

There is an over abundance of texture in our world and this month I would like to challenge you to get out and grab some photos of texture that can be combined with other images to alter them digitally.  Here are a few textures I took while on a recent road trip to Soda Springs, Idaho and Keystone, South Dakota.  Once you have some interesting textures from around your home or town, use them with a blending mode to merge the texture with another interesting image.  I will be combining these two images together to see what I come up with.  Maybe even throw in a third image!  Have some fun with your photos this month and be sure to share them with us!
