For Rinda's 2013 Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt, I'm challenging myself not to just get the shots necessary to fulfill the list, but to present each one as artistically as possible. So here are my first three entrants:
item #21 - a photo of you with an artistic tool or craft supply:
Let me tell you, one-handed selfies are easier said than done sometimes! But I got this shot of last week's art journal page in progress. If you look close enough, you can see pink paint on my palm and wrist and orange paint on my index finger. Although I do use a brush, I also do a lot of finger painting when I'm art journaling!
item #16 - a windmill:
A couple days ago, Jay and I took a walk to get some photos. I knew there was a windmill on this property over by the high school. The folks actually use this as a power supply. I added a few RadLab filters to add to the "old time" feel of this photo.
While in the process of getting the windmill photo, we spied this very large family of geese on the school property. There were at least a dozen babies. Given the number of adults, we guess this was several families traveling together. When we tried to move in for a better shot, they quickly herded the babies under the fence and left one adult on guard to tell us we were getting too close for comfort.
item #10 - a bench that is outside:
There are several of these benches along the walking/biking trail near my home. Since the subject matter isn't all that exciting, I carefully composed the shot to take full advantage of the sun flare and was very happy with the result.
