Scavenger Hunt Sunday

(Make that a Tuesday... :P)

1. Words

SOOC Shot

I wasn't even taking this shot for the sake of the shot. I needed the page number for reference. :P

B&W {slight sephia} Edit

As you can see, I was under the tree when I took this! :D

4. Fly

5. Always Look on the Bright Side

Brightness/Contrast Adjustment

You have no idea how difficult it was to take this shot! I took it yesterday while I was out in the front yard. It's been raining here quite often lately, so the grass was rather wet, and since I didn't want to get my pants dirty and since this flower was closer to the ground than I would've wanted, I had to get into the most uncomfortable position. I bent down really close to the ground, so that my knees were almost touching it, but not quite, and positioned my camera about 6 or 7 inches above the ground. Then I lowered my head to look through the viewfinder (painful!). Most awkward position you can get into (it looks worse than it sounds)! A little boy riding his bike paused to stare at me... and I don't blame him, I'm guessing I looked pretty ridiculous! :P :D But hey, looking at the bright side, I got this awesome shot!

I LOVE cookies! :D

3. Hazy

Edit

I was originally going to post another photo, but then I remembered this one, which I really like. There's something about it that makes me think "hazy". :)

 ...and a snack to go with that! :)

 A lingering remnant of summer colour...

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Brightness/Contrast Adjustment

2. The Color Wheel - Monochromatic and Analogous Color

SOOC Shot

 I LOVE this photo! I think it's my favourite summer shot from 2011.

3. Circle

SOOC Shot

4. Phone

Brightness Contrast and Colour Balance Adjustment

You're wondering what this has to do with phone? Well, apparently phone has another definition:

phone: an individual sound unit of speech without concern as to whether or not it is a phoneme of some language.

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, but I'm guessing whoever wrote the dictionary in the picture above might.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

1. Bokeh

SOOC Shot

Not necessarily one of my favourite photos, but the bokeh strikes me as pretty amazing!

 

2. Process of Elimination

Very Slight Brightness Adjustment

3. Remember

SOOC Shot

A simple reminder that once, spring really did exist.

4. Statues

SOOC Shot

The dictionary defines statue as "a three-dimensional image of a human being or animal that is sculpted, modeled, cast, or carved". Did it ever occur to you that you're a statue? Modeled after God's own image?

"Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.'" ~ Genesis 1:26

5. Flying Higher

Slight Brightness/Contrast Adjustment

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I finally found the time to join Scavenger Hunt Sunday! I've been wanting and planning to join this for months!

1. Stairs

My uhh... "book stair". :)

2. Macro 

 3. Clouds 

Jellyfish. They're as puffy as a cloud could ever get! (But don't touch them... :P)

 4. Abstract

5. Smile

Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm definitely NOT photogenic. This is one of the few photos of me that I actually like, though I'm still not 100% satisfied with it. I like pointing my lens at things, just not at myself! :D
