Last week's topic was fitting for the dates. "EASTER EGGS" I was having a bit of a creative block, but I snapped these on Easter before family got to the house for dinner. Next time I'll try to be a little more original on the seasonal theme!

156 Perspectives
So far so good. I haven't missed any topics for our photograpy project. AND I even got one of my project photos published on the Pioneer Woman's blog! I couldn't believe it! Week 2 was "Fowl" (as in birds). I really do adore this shot and am so proud to have had it published on the PW Photography Assignments blog! I'm in Group 3 so you'll have to scroll down about halfway down the page to see my entry.

156 Perspectives
March 1st marked the beginning of a personal development project that I have embarked on with two fellow photographers. We are calling it 156 Perspectives. Every week for 52 weeks, we will shoot a different topic and submit our best images. Shooting every day is so important but is sometimes difficult when you have a life!
For each of us, the challenge is different and I have a feeling it will evolve for me. My personal goal is to start shooting more often and to produce a better image straight out of the camera. I need to get out of the habit of tweaking my work in PS and hone my skills as a photographer. So, each of my images will have minimal to no post-processing. The other challenge for me is to start shooting subjects that I normally wouldn't seek out. My hope is that this exercise will force me to think outside the box when it comes to location and light. My specialty is natural light, and sometimes that can be challenging, especially with our FANTASTIC NW weather-the rain can put a serious damper on things!
This week's subject is FOWL: as in, Birds! I had originally hoped to take pictures of some chickens my sister-in-law is acquainted with, but my schedule didn't cooperate. So, I found these little guys and went to town....well, not exactly. Just to my backyard. Next week: GRASS!
