Blue Friday

Happy Blue Friday Everyone!!! I decided to play with my idea of Friday in addition to the color blue for this post. The long weekend is here which means time to put my feet up, enjoy a cold one, and spend some time in the lovely outdoors! Hooray for Fridays!

I had so much fun sharing photos with everyone during color week. I loved seeing all of the daily photo posts and reading all of the comments. Everyone really seemed to enjoy the project as well. I think that the color topic was a fun, easy way to get us back in the habit of carrying our cameras around with us. Nice work everyone, I was most impressed.

For our next task, I had an idea. What if we use the entire week to complete our exercise. This way, you can post photos as you take them throughout the week, but if you would like to spend more time on a photograph, there's not the investment of spending that kind of time every day. By the end of the week we should have a set of photos that reflect the theme, but whether you decide to take them each day or all in one day doesn't matter.

I'm going to 'tag' Steph as our next Photo Project host. See her blog for info on the next project and the list of participants.

Thursday - Green

The rest of my greens are up here on my flickr site.

Well, I only got a few greens before our battery died! booo! I was so excited, Alex and I were gonna go on a bike ride and capture some of the green country around us. Oh well, the ride was still nice, even if we don't have any photos from it. Luckily we got a few in the back yard.

Tomorrow is our last exercise for color week!

Blue will be a nice color to end on. I'm super impressed with how everyone has kept with this challenge this week. It's kind of a lot to do every day! Kudos to all who've participated. I really have enjoyed seeing everyone's awesome photos and reading all of the comments.

Wednesday - Yellow

The rest of my yellow photos are posted here on my flickr site.

I loved seeing the honey bee's legs up close once I looked through my photos. It was such a brief moment that he was buzzing around the sunflower that I hardly noticed it at first. As you can see, my day involved a bit of laundry out to dry and some pretty yellow flowers. Photo project proves to be the most relaxing part of my day yet again. :)

Again, lovely photos everyone! I just adore the insight into the individual personal lives of everyone participating. The different perspectives, the various subject matter, wonderful all around! Tomorrow Greeeeeeeeeeeen!

Color Week Continues! Tuesday - Orange

You can see the complete set here at my flickr site.

I totally ignored my better judgment to wait until the sun was at a more agreeable angle today and went out over my lunch break to grab some orange photos. (I know the truck is more 'rust' than orange, but I just had to share. What a strange little town!)

Nice job with the orange photos everyone! Tomorrow, Yellow Wednesday!

Color Week!

So Steph and I were having breakfast the other day and we decided that it would be cool to have a simple excuse to pick up the camera every day for one week. So we decided to do a "color" week where each day we would take 3 or so photos based on the chosen color of the day and post it on our blog.

If you'd like to join us in this little project, when you post your first red/pink photos on Monday email me with your blogsite/flickr page.

I'll keep a running list of participants beneath each color post next week and we'll be able to share our photos. I cant wait to see what everyone comes up with. :)

A couple weeks down the road we may do another one and call it pattern week, or reflection week, or whatever theme we want to play with. We just wanted a task that wouldn't take a lot of time, and that we could share with each other and get inspired by each other. Who knows, after a couple of these themes we might end up with some cool frameable art to give away as gifts or hang in our homes. At a minimum it will be a fun little task giving us an opportunity to learn more about the way we take photos.

Colors for Color week!

Monday - Red/Pink
Tuesday - Orange
Wednesday - Yellow
Thursday - Green
Friday - Blue
