Week 21 - Labour

Yup - Week 20 (eyes) is missing.

It's a work in progress thanks to a model

that won't sit still.

I will get there!!!

Week 21 - labour: 

There's no shortage of labour in our house at the moment.....

from painting, to unpacking boxes, 

to finally have cleaning products back in the house -

it's all go go go as our rennovations 

finally come to an end.

Week 19 - self portrait

Self portrait - who on earth dreamed up this for a theme?

In one sense, it's nice to put a face to the other photogs doing this challenge.

On the other hand........Self portrait?! REALLY?

I had a few problems on this one

1) Inspiration

2) Execution

(Kind of major factors when it comes to taking photos!)

In the end it came down to me, the camera,

a sunny Sunday afternoon, our backyard and very dirty mirrors.

Our house is nearing the end of 

more than 2 months of renovations 

and our large mirrors have been stashed in a corner collecting dust.

Unfortunately all our cleaning products are in boxes down stairs....

thus I only had dirty mirrors to work with.

My final choice for week 19:

And a few other ideas:

Week 18 - nature

This week's theme was nature...

And Mother Nature kindly played ball.

I had hoped to get a photo of Sarah splashing in the puddles,

making the most of Mother Nature.

But I was way to chicken to take the camera outside

and try and hold the camera in one hand

and the umbrella in the other.

So I relied on the shelter under the back deck for this week's photo

and my phone for a photo of Sarah making the most of puddles....

This week's pic:

Rain in slow motion - Mother Nature at her best on Saturday afternoon.

when you slow the camera settings down!)

 Puddle splashing 

- what a great way to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Week 17 - from a high angle

This one had me a little stumped....I knew what I wanted to achieve, 

but it took a little while to fnd a set up 

and composition I was happy with.

In the end, our dear boy Fletcher played ball....

What a dog will do for treats.......

And a few others:

Week 16 - animals

This week included a visit to Western Springs....

Turns out there are plenty of animals there!!
