Ryan's "City"

I think there are actually holes for tripod legs in the bridge I took this from...

Cory's City

Three generations of city in downtown Boston.

Next week : Motion

"City" is due tomorrow.

Suggested topic for the last week of 2008 - "Best of 2008". Break from the "Weekly" portion, concentrate on the "Photography" side. Any thoughts?

Cory's Long Exposure

Bah! I never got around to posting this last night. Here it is a little late.

Q's long exposure

Some light painting in my bedroom.

Probably not what was meant by the topic, but the lion has suffered from long exposure to the elements.

Q's out of place

I myself have been out of place this weekend, visiting friends in San Francisco. But not as out of place as the guy in the lower right.

Ryan's "Out of Place"

Photographically, this leaves something to be desired. I found this wolf spider in my tent while packing it up after two nights of camping. I though it was out of place...

Cory's Out of Place

This week

This week: Rust.

Out Of Place due today!

Q's neon

that's, uh, a tough act to follow.

I wish I hadn't chopped the top of the arch off....

Lis thinks this one would have been better, but she lost the vote.

Next week

Next week: Out of place.

Neon due today!

Q's wood

I went camping in the wood(s) on mt. hood with some friends from work this weekend.

Table wood

I'm overall disappointed with this one - I just couldn't come up with anything good all week.

Woody Woodcutter

Found at Indian Cave State Park:

Next week's topic

Next week: Neon! Cars, lights, noble gasses... whatever.

Moon or tree? Which to expose for?

Split the difference to get this:

A nighttime shot of the Downers Grove train station.

Right in the middle of west Omaha.

/rl

Q's abandoned

Cory's Abandoned

I took a much more photogenic picture too, but I think this one is more fun. Gypsy was not harmed in the filming of this photograph.

Buggies?

Would that be Amish or creepy crawly?

/rl

Next topic

Next on the list: Night.

Abandoned due on Sunday.

Ryan's Self Portrait

It's going to take weeks to clean up the inside of the Jeep...

Q's shadow

In the shadows under the floor

Our big computer lives on a four-foot raised floor, beneath which the scary cable-tray monster lurks in the shadows...

Ryan's (and Jenny's) Shadow(s)

I was torn between using this for "Shadow" or "Self Portrait".

This week...

Self portraits are all the rage.

Shadows due on Sunday!

Q's fire hydrant

Ryan's Fire Hydrant

A wee little bit of a fire hydrant.

Cory's Fire Hydrant

Ha! Two fire hydrants at once!

The yearly National Championships Bike Race was happening in Downers Grove this weekend and I carefully got an alternative shot, but I didn't like it as much.

Next week's topic

I didn't manage to log make a "next week post" yesterday, but here it is a little late: Shadows!

Fire hydrant pictures due tomorrow.

Small flowers and an inchworm

I'm not too proud of this photo - time and weather conspired against me. I propose recycling this topic in late spring next year.

Monet's Flowers

I pushed the limits of photography vs. illustration last week, so I decided to do it again. Here are 10 shots of some yellow coneflowers blended together in one exposure, kind of simulating a Monet painting. I stole the idea from here.

If that doesn't count, here's a nice calla lily.

Flowers

Next week's topic

In line with the "post the topic on Friday" idea, next week's topic is...

Fire hydrants!

Flowers are due on Sunday.

Fear: Triskaidekaphobia

It turns out "fear" is more difficult to come up with a picture for than I originally thought it would be. I hope a montage counts.

This was going to be my backup image. I think it does a good job of instilling fear:

Fear

This is a pretty lame entry - a bagworm. Right now, they are eating all my trees. If you are a tree, bagworms cause fear.

Topic for 8/1 - 8/10

As I recall, we talked about posting the topics a weekend early to get two weekends worth of time on each (and overlap each a little). So here's the topic for the coming week, due 8/10:

Flowers!

(I moved that one up some in the "future topics" since it is getting late in the summer and more likely that flowers will start wilting soon)
