Tuesday Photo Challenge – Round Up 94

Decay of the best kind!

Welcome to the 94th round up of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!  Decay was the theme and your responses showed that your creativity is definitely not decaying!

This was a truly interesting array of entries, as there was quite a bit of urban decay, growth of penicillin and and incredible amount of fantastic photography!  I learned about trees that I didn’t know and a stunning mosque complex, stupas in Myanmar and lots more.  Thank you for such a wonderful set of contributions!!

Please let all the authors know how much you appreciate their work!

Sometimes decay starts as growth is still occurring…

Out of Eden?

This wild apple was definitely a bit past its prime, as it was still hanging on the branch… we can only imagine what the internal state of this fruit was.  This may have been the flavor that was presented by to Snowwhite or to Eve…

The following were this week’s participants in the challenge with links to their posts:

  • By Sarah kicked things off this week with a rather interesting photo of a Pandanus tree, which was a tree that I had never heard of.

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Decay

As time goes by

Welcome to Week 94 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.  After another week of fantastic posts, it’s time to come up with something to follow up on Old.

Of course, what comes with old age is advancing decrepitude! As we get older, we all feel it, and in the world around us, we get to witness it as Decay.  Of course, decay can take lots of different forms, from the mold on a slice of cheese and the rusting of a bucket to the dilapidation of a building.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to have some fun and capture your view of what decay means to you!  Let your creative minds run wild and capture what speaks to you.

Here is a bit of decay that I came across during my trip to Iceland…

The Once Proud Ship

This image was a detail that I captured of a boat that was parked next to the Herring Era Museum in Siglufjörður, Iceland.  Time has started eating away at this lady of the herring-filled seas.

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’m looking forward to your views of decay!

Elgin Cathedral, Scotland

During our vacation in Scotland in 2013, my wife and I just happened upon the wonderful town of Elgin, where I sensed that there was something interesting to see; we were not disappointed, as the magnificent remains of the Elgin Cathedral drew us in.  Walking around on the grounds, you can feel the connection to what made this location special in a spiritual sense.

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Old

Make the old new again!

Welcome to Week 93 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.  There were wonderfully delicious entries that left me either hungry or smiling with satisfaction; I’m sure that a couple of us went looking for something tasty, as we were inspired by the posts.

This week, I’m thinking it is not necessarily time to go on a diet yet, but rather to take a look back in time. Let’s go out there this week and find the Old!  I’m definitely not restricting your choice of subject, as there are lots of interesting subjects that have stood the test of time: buildings, landscapes, trees, people, recipes, books, music, etc.

So remove the lenscap and unleash your creative self through the lens!  Have fun with this one and bring out your finest!

Here is something that has stood the test of time…

Ageless Arches

From last year’s vacation in Italy, our day in Rome had beautiful weather. It was a little tricky to avoid the crowds, but from this angle you can still see the people in the arch on the left side to give an idea of the scale of the Colosseum.

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’m looking forward to seeing what old catches your eye!

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Round Up 92

Yummy, yummy, yummy!

Welcome to the 92nd round up of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!  There were plenty of delicacies in this week’s posts!

You were very creative in creating great variety, ranging from how delicious life can be to lots of foods that are irresistible.  Some of you admitted to having a weakness for certain foods, which I can appreciate 🙂  On top of that, it was great that some of you looked at delicious from a different perspective: sheep and horses have things that they find delicious as well!

Thank you for creating a wonderful set of posts with fantastic viewing and reading!

Here are some candies for your delicious sweet tooth…

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Delicious

Tasty ideas are welcome!

Welcome to Week 92 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.  Last week’s bounty of circles was stunning with a creative set of interpretations that will have you around time and again to read all the interesting posts.

As luck would have it, your responses to the challenge and comments on yesterday’s ’round up’ provided inspiration for this week’s theme.  In particular, there were some great food-related posts and Debbie’s question that led to me to the theme of Delicious!

Of course, that provides a rather wide set of interpretation opportunities and I fully expect that many of you will present something unusual that is delicious; tastes do vary, and sometimes it’s all about how daring you are.  I’m sure that not everyone will find snails delicious, or that everyone likes lobster (just imagine how adventurous the first people were that ate lobsters).

Have fun coming up with ideas, photos and great posts on this week’s theme!

Here are some circles, that are also delicious…

Cupcake Delight

This photo I took a number of years ago, when I was taking a food photography class.  This one was all about lighting your subject, so I decided to try and create a bit of a mood as well.  Warm tones throughout the image and softened shadows give a sense of these cupcakes being ready to eat in a familiar kitchen.

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’m looking forward to some delectable images that will leave me hungry!

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Round Up 91

The circle is complete

Welcome to the 91st round up of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!  This week’s view of the theme of Circle is amazing!

Your entries covered many applications of the circle, as they ranged from a circle of friends, included some heavenly bodies and generally found circles in many places. I particularly enjoyed the food related ones, as I could eat and drink quite a while with that offering!

Thank you for creating a wonderful set of posts with fantastic viewing and reading!

Here are some more circles…

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Circle

Coming full cycle

Welcome to Week 91 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.  After the wonderful response to last week’s theme of Recycle, I thought it might be difficult to come up with another challenge that might interest you…

Then it struck me that I might be on a roll, as cycle’s word origin comes from the Greek word that also means wheel; and the shape of a wheel is a Circle!  So it was pretty easy to find this week’s theme.  In the true nature of this challenge, I fully expect you to take the word circle in any of its various meanings; Merriam-Webster showed 9 different definitions for just the noun [there are 4 more for the transitive and intransitive verb].

Have some fun with this, as you circle the Sun with your circle of friends!  I’m very much looking forward to seeing what might come forth from your minds!

Here are some circles, not all perfect…

20150705-Tower-Hill_57A2354
Soft Circles among Leaves

As the light played across the leaves, while shooting at Tower Hill Botanic Garden, I felt inspired to play around a bit and generate something a bit more abstract.  Slightly out of focus at f/4, I shot a series of 3 images that I later processed with Photomatix Pro.  While this is not your standard HDR image, I used the processing to extend the range a bit and create a softer palette of colors.

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’m looking forward to your recycled and recycling thoughts and creative output!

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Round Up 90

Nothing recycled about creativity!

Welcome to the 90th round up of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!  In the first TPC of the new year, you got to Recycle, which allowed you to take the old and have it turn into something new.

Your entries focused on everything from recycling to rediscovering and improving ourselves; lots of interesting approaches to this theme that really showed off your creativity.  Thank you for another week of fun reading for me; I’m getting spoiled by all of your amazing posts!

Nature’s recycling takes us through the seasons…

Winter’s Beauty
Sol, it arises!
Summer Livery
Autumn’s Wisdom

The Yoga Tree has seen her share of recycling, as she stood across many seasons; in Autumn her leaves fall and join the undergrowth to be covered by Winter’s snow; in Spring those nutrients start their trip back into the tree, as she recovers into her full glory of Summer.

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Recycle

When old becomes new

Welcome to Week 90 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.

 

The Quotidian approach to our challenge elicited a great set of responses that were a pleasure to read and filled with extraordinary ideas!

The lead-in from last week’s challenge mentioned recycling, which gave me the idea for this week’s theme of Recycle!  My thinking is that you can take this week’s challenge in several directions: photograph something that is or should be recycled (lots of opportunity there) or recycle something in your image…

With this creative bunch, I think that there may be many interesting responses for this week’s theme.  Have some fun and don’t hesitate to share your artistic genius!

Here’s something that I captured that is recycled (multiple ways)…

Art-in-the-Park_MG_1850
Shark Bites – Art by Cory Clinton

This image came to be during a shoot that I did for a contest, held by the Worcester Art Museum during the Art in the Park exhibit.  What inspired me in this image was the juxtaposition between the inorganic wire mesh of the breaching shark and the lush organic backdrop, as well as the imperfection of the reflection against the stark sharpness of the original.

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’m looking forward to your recycled and recycling thoughts and creative output!
