Tuesday Photo Challenge – Green

·

In this fourth installment of the Tuesday Photo Challenge, I’d like to shift our focus to a color: Green!

In taking a closer look at green, I’d like to challenge you and see you challenge yourself to explore the nuances that can be provided by this color that speaks to us of growth, renewal and the season that helps us survive Winter.

Hopefully, the image that I’m including provides you with a bit of inspiration to push your boundaries, as far as you can.  Over the next couple of days, I will also be looking for some more green magic to capture and will be sharing that with you later this week.

Let’s prove Kermit wrong: “It’s easy being green!”

Study in Green

For those who’d like to participate in this weekly challenge, the rules are the following:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please use the tag #fpj-photo-challenge
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week
  • Have fun creating something new!!

I’m looking forward to seeing your creative efforts!

Technical Details

This photo was taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mk III using a EF 24-105 f/4L lens.  Exposure was at f/5 and 1/320 second at 400 ISO.

      Thank you! I wanted to share this image to show folks that there can be great variety in tonality for green and hopefully to inspire everyone to go play and explore!

      I’m looking forward to see what you uncover in your exploration.

    OK will do my best! It’s been a super busy day so it’s already 5pm here. AND I’m going to a spiritual event tonight so I can very possibly get my chance on the way! 🙂 Not sure how to pingback though, can you remind me? Can I just highlight the pingback and link it via the URL at the top of the computer screen? Thanks, Frank!

      There’s no rush, as you have the entire week to come up with something interesting.

      Pingbacks are done by putting a link to the post describing the challenge in your post, which is just like you describe: take the URL at the top of my post and put that in a link in your post. Otherwise, I’ll still be able to find your post through the tag, as I search for that during the week using the reader.

      Remember to have fun!

      Btw, I forgot to mention, Debbie; if you add the tag fpj-photo-challenge to your post, folks can see it by using the tag in their Reader. It’s a good way to see all posts on a topic in one location.

      Thanks again for participating!

      Have a wonderful day,

      Frank

        Hi Frank! Thanks! I did add it at the very end of my post. Is it better to do it someplace else? Blessings!!

        Hi Debbie,

        This is not a really big deal, as it’s just a means for people to be able to find your posts easier through WordPress Reader.

        Post tags are different from the pingback link; when you create or edit a post, you should see a section on the left side of the screen (I’m assuming you do this on a PC or Mac) you should see an entry for Categories & Tags. This is where you would add a category (used for organizing your blog posts) or tags (used for organizing posts in Reader).

        Hope this helps,

        Frank

      Thank you! I’m glad you’ve joined our (still) small group.

      On leaves I enjoy shooting them backlit, as it really shows their structure and beauty.
