I have to admit that it’s fun to go back through some of my older images! It’s really cool to see how my ‘eye’ has evolved over the years, and also interesting to see some images that I still really like after many years.
This is one of those images…
Colors of the Wind
This image came about as I noticed the wind spinner that was sitting close to where I was photographing dog agility. It gave me the opportunity to play around a bit with exposure timing to get just the amount of blur that I was looking for.
Captured back in 2005 with a Canon EOS 1D MkII and an EF 70-200mm f/2.8L lens and 1.4x extender. Exposure time was 1/25s to get this effect.
Here comes the twenty-second mystery location post of this year….
After the difficulty with last week’s Dryburgh Abbey in Scotland, I thought that I’d go for something much easier… Let’s see if that is the case! I know that at least one person will get this one!
Not perfect weather, but it’s still interesting!
Nice colors stacking!
The hammer could fall on this topic pretty quickly!
Welcome to week 149 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.
Another wonderful week of posts with your amazing contributions! This week’s theme was inspired by one of your posts, as Layers were mentioned, which I thought would be a fitting sequel to last week’s theme. What I like about Layers is that this is another theme that can be photographed or described in many ways. Layers build one upon the other, to create great edifices or towers that risk being toppled.
Unleash your creative energies upon this theme and build a layer cake of the world around you! Have fun and share with one another!!
Here are some colorful layers that were very delectable…
Layers of Goodness!
Sometimes photos simply appear in front of you, such as this one. As I was getting ready to dig into my piece of ice cream cake, I noticed the great colors and pattern that had been created on the knife. Between the sense of an archeaological dig and interesting colors, this made for a good Thanksgiving moment!
The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:
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)!!
Don’t hold back an share your best layers, as they appear in front of you!
Welcome to the 115th round up of the Tuesday Photo Challenge! Slowly getting back on track here and it’s good to see all the color that has been added to the blogosphere this week!
This has certainly been an awesome week of contributions, as it looks like colors bring out some of the most creative aspects of all of your work!

Thank you for all the great contributions and I hope you enjoy reading these posts, as much as I did.
Here’s a bit more color to add to your day…

Welcome to Week 115 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge! I will finish last week’s challenge round up later during the day and post it tomorrow morning, as the response was again fantastic!
Last week’s posts were filled with all things New in many ways, so I wanted to go in a different direction for this week’s theme. Before the month closes out, I wanted to use a theme that fits with Pride Month: Colorful! For all the courageous people who share their stories, struggles and love, let’s put our focus on bringing as many colors to our posts for this week as humanly possible!
I can’t wait to see all the wonderful posts that your creative minds are sure to generate! Use this colorful theme in any way that you like and strikes your fancy!
Here’s a bit of the rainbow for inspiration…
Rainbow of Colors
This product shot was an attempt to create something a bit more artistic from a bag of M&M’s with a bit of sorting, arranging and lighting to get a superbright set of these colorful little chocolate treasures!

Welcome to the 12th occasion of the Tuesday Photo Challenge; a couple of weeks and we’ll be up and running for 3 months, thanks to all these wonderful entries and great participation!! Thank you all for this!
A radical departure from the past couple of weeks, which may be what you expect at this point, as we’ll be looking for images that are by their very nature: Colorful! What I hope you’ll do, is to jam as much color into your images, as you can get, with an eye toward having colors that work together. This is a great opportunity to be on the lookout for color in your daily lives; you may be surprised by the amount of color that is everywhere!
I hope that this is one that each of you wants to grab onto and run with! For a bit of inspiration, here’s a shot from 11 years ago of one of those spinning wind catchers that are always popular…
Colors of the Wind
I was actually photographing an agility trial in upstate New York that day and had noticed this colorful spinner. So between sets of dogs running, I played with this, waiting for just the right amount of wind.
For those who’d like to participate in this weekly challenge, the rules are the following:

Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!
I am looking forward to your creative entries this week to see what fences catch your eye!
Technical Details
This image was captured with a Canon EOS 1D Mk II with an EF 70-200mm f/2.8L lens and 1.4x Extender. Exposure settings were 1/25 second, f/20 at 100 ISO; at 280mm this was a handheld exposure, which worked with a bit of steady hand.
Colorful breezes,
Hornblast heralds battle’s hue.
Blood flows in the sand.

Thank you to Sonya of Only 100 Words for coming up with Three Line Tales.
The TLT rules are simple:
Take a look at the photo prompt and write three lines to go with it.
Your lines can be poetry, micro-fiction, micro non-fiction or just a really long caption – everything goes as long as it’s three lines long.
A link back to this post would be nice (it’ll make me feel obliged to swing by yours to read your three lines, and some of your readers might want to join in, too – the more, the merrier, right?).
Tag your post with 3LineTales – it’ll make it easier for others to find it in the Reader.
Dutch goes the Photo!
