Challenge: Bi- Weekly Challenge: Catch the Wind
I was so impressed with all the entries in lefteyeblind's BLUE challenge. There were a lot more entries than I can recollect in recent times, and they were all great. So great, that I thought I would just make the next challenge RED or BLACK but I guess I have decided to go with something a bit more abstract.
So the wind! I live in coastal NC where the wind shapes our lives from minute to minute. Like all coastal communities we have flags
that tell us what is going on. On this day I knew it was blowing from the NW @ 10-15 mph just by looking at the flag.
We have a lot of wind junkies
here. The unfeathered ones pay top dollar to feel our breezes.
The wind shapes
our buildings. Sometimes it just turns everything upside down
That stuff happens everywhere, right?
And there are tried and true methods of protection
becauselook out you might need it.
My question and challenge to you is how do you catch the wind? I mean with your camera... A lot of times I try to do this. I usually get stuff that looks like this
which is cool, but how to you capture the beauty of sound of the wind in the loblolly pines
So my challenge to you is to try to capture the wind. I have but one success...and here it is...my triumph
Catch the WIND!!! I know you can!
Next up: The lovely and talented, fresh off the rush of a 4.0... EMF
blue at random
guess that is Hercules, at the aquarium in Norfolk, VA
What Would You Do?
what would you do if you went into your neighborhood for a little sense of freedom
and found that you have next to nothing left, no room to run, no freedom
because some groups thought you could not live together
with your own environment
That news
would be for the birds
Somebody Phone the Priest
I have shown you this photo before...not my house . Also known as this. This house is next to the one I live in and is owned by some folks who come down and stay in it from time to time. Windows are mostly boarded up. Here is the entrance door window. I was attempting to take this next photo of just the window and the siding around it, but my auto focus went crazy and absolutely refused to focus unless there was something additional in the frame. I could not bring it into focus manually, either, and neither could a few other brave souls I coerced into trying. It was pretty eerie...yikes .
Maybe this little creature had something to do with it...creepy cat
Here are a few recent shots taken with light coming through the windows. The greatest thing about our windows right now is that they are WIDE OPEN and spring is wafting through the house.Yup
A few new shots of my little
Macros
I do not have a macro lens, but I have a setting on my camera, so I came across a few neat items and gave it a shot...and the obligatory flower shot, taken at a public park in Bath, North Carolina..."America's First Town"
