Photo Challenge #03 - Thoughts

-
Image
For this week's Photo Challenge, I decided to let the week's sights and happenings inspire and guide me. Last week I considered "Animals" as my topic (while eventually going for " Bridges "), this week I contemplated Animals (or rather, "Life") as well. Seeing lots of yellow leaves and flowers while out and about made me unsure about "Animals / Life" - perhaps "Yellow" would be a more interesting topic. Although "Flowers" would work too... Whether I end up choosing to go for Flowers, Life or Yellow this week, this photo certainly ticks all the boxes. I'll post more photos on Sunday once I've decided what this week's topic actually is (or rather, will be )! For now - Enjoy the first photo! Photo Challenge 03 - Photo 01

Many of the images turned out blurry or unclear, either because the birds were too fast or I was too slow. A bit of both, if you ask me. The blurry photos look something like this...   There's something about those blurry images that makes me smile... Birds being birds, perhaps. I'll show some of the non-blurry images in the ...

Photo Challenge - Possibilities and Options

-
Having decided that I'm going to assign myself Photo Challenges on a weekly (perhaps bi-weekly? perhaps fortnightly?) basis, the time has come to investigate Challenges. The whole idea is that I want to challenge myself to take photos based on themes and ideas or photograph certain features such as trees, flowers, buildings, windows, doors, playgrounds etcetera. The first Challenge was to walk a route I normally don't take my camera on and photograph what I see every hundred or so steps. After completing that Challenge and posting a set of eight photos of nature and the Dutch landscape, the next challenge is... To decide on the next Challenge. While  I want to challenge myself to take photos of new and different things, to look at the world in a new way and to go 'hunting' for photos (something I don't usually do), I don't want to pick challenges that are too hard or difficult and don't want to lose interest in the whole concept. The whole idea is to have ...
