Scavenger Hunt Sunday

 This is my second go at Scavenger Hunt Sunday and I must admit this week was hard for me.  Last week my mind immediately grabbed onto the textural aspect of the hunt items.  This time they were all very open to interpretation and some I found very hard to interpret, I even ended up getting help from Mr. Glitter Tart.

 

Hidden

My glorious vintage Webster dictionary helped with with this one.  The word 'Hidden' can be found snuggled/hidden between hidalgo and hiddenite.

 

Plain

I have big plans for this canvas but right now it is in a very plain state. 

 

Left 

Yep, you guessed it I had trouble with this one.  Originally I was just going to take a picture of my left hand making the letter L.  But then I went walking in the woods and there was a perfect log begging me to sit down.  Mr. Glitter Tart took a picture from behind where I was predominately on the left.  So with a lot of editing, this is my Left photo for the week. 

 

Fast

Again thanks to Mr. Glitter Tart.  What's Faster than the speed of light???? 

 

Peace

I hate this picture, it's fuzzy and not peaceful at all like I wanted it to be.  To me peace comes in the form of a cup of afternoon coffee and a chance to devourer a few pages of a good book.

  

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Last year, at the most inopportune time, my camera died and with the help of a very good friend, a professional photographer to boot, I bought a new fancy camera.  But I must admit that I have not used it to it's full potential, heck I probably haven't even used an eighth of it's potential.

 

So this past week when I was blog hopping for the Build your Blog hop I ran across a photographers blog and discovered Scavenger Hunt Sunday. To me this was a great opportunity to stretch my horizons and hopefully learn something new.

 

  So without further ado, here are my entries for the 1/27 Scavenger Hunt.

 

BLING

This is a shot of a roll of Rhinestones that I have, I cropped in close using photoshop but didn't alter the colors in any way.

 

FUZZY

Meet my Studio Cat, Sugar.  I went back and forth about this photo, keeping the wood frame in or not, I really like the black behind her, don't know how that happened.  To me this shot is pretty but I know it shows how much of an armature I am, just don't know how to fix that.

 

FABRIC

Okay, I must have taken a billion fabric pictures.  And I wasn't pleased with any of them.  I wanted to show off all the different patterns and textures but really all I ended up with was a mess.  I selected this one  because I cast a shadow on the lower left hand side and because of the black hole in the upper right.  This shot was taken at close range into a drawer full of fabrics. 

 

 LACE

Close up of a bunch of lace bits that I have in a box, color enhanced in photoshop.

 

WOOD

This was my favorite shot to take and the most difficult for me to choose from.  To me the collection this week is all about texture so I went with a close up from a pile of wood we have outside.  I love how the evening light turned the wood a bluish hue.

 

I'm not sure I learned anything this week, I really just went out and took pictures.  Please feel free to criticize/critique my photo's I want to get better.  I did have fun and plan to participate as much as I can.
