Challenge Pic’s

Hello!!
Sorry its been an eon. I’ve been caught up in a multitude of ‘stuff’ and haven’t made time to get back to photos and the blog!
Thought I might just share the latest Challenge Photos

The challenge is done… more or less. Waiting for the last photos to be submitted then finish voting. Quite speedy for this group for a change
The first subject was ‘GLOWING COLOURS’

Jeff was helping me do something which involved glowsticks and the clothes line and all the photos sucked haha
So I got him to whirl them over his head and… Voila! My first photo!

Second subject was ‘MISMATCHED’
I went a bit … creative with this one

“Sparky came from the wrong end of town but he put on his bow tie and struck up a conversation with Miss Match.
A flame of love was kindled but unfortunately her parents thought he looked a bit burnt out and their relationship was a total mismatch…
(Sorry, not sorry)”

(This might explain where a lot of my time goes)

You saw the image for SHOES (Jeff’s Bigfoot)
And I might have shared this already but the next subject was FOOD

Then RAIN

Next was TRANSPORT and you’ve seen Pipsworth in his Plane..

Following was GRASS

I made a spectacular mess in the lounge room making a grass basket as a prop.

I’d gathered a lot of dried paddock grass from next door and sewed it together with flax

Its a little wonky but really sturdy!

Next subject was SPOOKY!

Cue poor Jeff again to sit about posing for me

I found the frame at a market and stretched some black stocking over the middle.
I originally envisioned someone coming through the frame but this ended up looking decidedly spooky enough!

The 9th subject ‘HIDDEN’ gave me the most grief!
I seriously couldn’t come up with an idea. I knew my Dad was posting a funny shot of their cat with only her tail showing so I didn’t want to compete with that and make use of Pip again
Turns out we could have renamed the album ‘HIDING CATS’ with the amount of artfully and not so artfully concealed feline photos posted! So funny

In the end I used a little wooden apple I had when I was a kid. The tea set gets hidden in the apple. I loved it as a kid and its very sweet.

The last subject we had was ‘OPEN’ which we’ve never done before!
Its harder than you might think without the guidance!

I went down to Fossil Bluff at sundown and high tide to play around with the water and slow shutter speeds. It was fun and settled on the following shot

Well… there you have it!
I enjoy these challenges – rather than just taking snaps of whats in front of me, I have to go work at it and think about it! I enjoy that!

I’ll be back to tell you about my latest workshop and other ‘stuff’ thats been going on soon!
I am feeling tired as we moved our piano today! As in moved it out of the house!
Cousins have taken it which is great and now we have a lot of space in our hallway!

I’ll leave you with a few more splashy photos from my evening at Fossil Bluff! Hope you are all well
Cheers

Oh… and one of ME!
