Welcome to week 145 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.

You nearly broke the bank with all your fantastic entries on the theme of Bank! Time for something a little different for this week, as all of you Rose to the occasion, I thought I’d present you with a Rose for your effort! Yes, I can hear your groans…the puns won’t stop 🙂

Of course, you expected something that would go into the direction of your choosing, and give you the opportunity to release your creative minds to come up with your fantastic posts! Have fun with it and don’t let the color fool you!

Here’s a rose that unleashed mighty energies…

Rose Particle

This photo goes back a number of years, as an experiment creating more abstract images. Through use of zoom blur, I got the rose to create an explosion of energies, as an expression of the power that resides within each particle of the universe!

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

I look forward to seeing what rose in your minds!

  11. Wow,Frank!! “as an expression of the power that resides within each particle of the universe!”
    Profound!and the photo is that!! I’ve been trying to write a poem that powerfully expresses those words, but you know sometimes photos paint a thousand words!!

    1. Thank you kindly! I’m looking forward to those thousand words!

      1. Trying! 🤩

  12. Looking at your photo I realize I’ve been pretty unadventurous with trying out special effects. Maybe I’ll wait till next year and make it my next new year’s resolution.

    1. It’s fun to experiment and discover what you can do with your camera.

  33. It’s deep winter in the New England/Mid-Atlantic area. I’m stumped as to how to respond to this challenge. I am open to ideas from the group.

    1. It might be interesting to see what rose from the cold and stood above the snowy banks that flank us…

      1. LOL! I did not think of that. I’ll see what I can find this weekend.

  34. Frank, I could not do your amazing photo justice. 🙁 But I was inspired to write about a rose and it’s beauty. If you care to take a look, you can find that post here: https://pennywilsonwrites.com/2019/01/30/bloodshed-worthy/

  51. That’s one rose with a super power! Or a camera with one! (btw do you have a recommendation for a camera for us amateurs?)

    http://oneletterup.com/2019/02/01/tuesday-photo-challenge-rose

    1. Thank you!

      Recommending a camera is always a bit tricky, as it really depends on your preferred photography subjects, budget and desire to learn about the intricacies of the camera.

      The really tricky part is that there are lots of great smartphones that can be excellent cameras, if you use the photography app to your advantage (as in Wednesday’s post, and all my Yoga Tree photos).

      My recommendation tends to be more around deciding what you want to photograph. Once you know that, you can think about the type of lens(es) that would be great for that photography. E.g. a wide-angle lens for landscape vs a telephoto for portraiture. If you want to move to a DSLR, your investment in lenses is going to give you the largest variety of options. (I still use a lens that I bought in 2002, but not a single camera body that I bought then)

      Also think about how much equipment you want to carry around. On that front, I have moved to mirrorless cameras for my travel photography, as they are lighter.

      This makes me think that I should do a post about what’s in my camera bag 🙂

      If you have questions about specific camera models, I’ll be happy to help. If you want to contact me, my photography email is jansenphotography@gmail.com.

      Hope this long post helps somewhat 🙂

      1. Yes it has (although I may still email you). Excellent advice. I looked at a mirrorless one today – had not heard of that type before. Thank you!
