Vision of Love

In my quest to become a better photographer, I am trying very hard to look at my subjects in a different way to find the best angle. I have found that thus far I enjoy taking pictures of natural things best -- flowers and architecturally interesting things don't blink like people. These are roses in my mother's yard and I was looking closely for the best roses and lo' and behold I found this naturally shaped HEART.

Vision, hmmm

I don't know what else to say but

HEE HEE AND some HA HA Ha's

55mm, Nikon D60, f4.8, iso19

Winners: Vision

Good morning everyone! Well, we didn't have too many votes this time around, but Shelby was definitely the favorite. She won most original idea, with Tunnel Vision. She also tied for best overall with Sylvia and her Vision from the Past.

Congrats!

Voting: Vision

I'm glad a few more people (myself included) were able to participate with the extension. I will not be extending the voting hours, however. You still have only until midnight tonight (Pacific Time) to get your votes in. Or more realistically, until I count them up tomorrow morning. :)

Vote for your most favorite overall, and also for the most original idea -- the best slant on the word.

Happy Monday!

Vision: Tunnel Vision

I had several ideas for this, but I had some trouble with execution. Finally, about ten minutes ago, I got this idea, and I was pretty impressed with my execution. I've never shot anything this way before, and I had about 20 different takes trying to get it right -- with flash, without flash; a normal focus, an infinity focus; black and white, color. I finally settled on this one. I took a picture of my glasses, while looking through an empty paper towel tube. I call it "Tunnel Vision."

This ended up being without flash, with the infinity focus on. I adjusted color and exposure just a little and saturated the color at the end.

Vision: Always Wanted

I have always wanted a little stream with a bridge over it just like this picture. Now I have it, but will have to work on the owning it part! Sorry I have been absent, moving plus school and crazy kids ive been out. Everyone did a fantastic job on blue!

"Visions of Sugarplums"

HORRAY! Thanks for the extension. We were all pretty pooped last night so I just completely spaced posting my pic. This was the first thing I thought of... "While Visions of Sugarplums Danced in thier heads" from "The night before Christmas. I guess I've got Christmas in July on my mind. : )

I love this picture because that funny stuffed creature he's cuddle-ing was mine when I was little. It went through a lot but somehow survived to be strangled by my little boy. I love it!

F/4.5 1/60 sec ISO200- I was dareing and used the flash but thankfully he didn't wake up.

CC ALWAYS WELCOME!

Staying open late

Because the challenge word went up late this weekend, I won't post the voting until 12:01pm Pacific Time. So you still have until noon (or 3:00pm for you Easterners) to post a picture if you want! Remember, you word is VISION.

Visions of Summer

A Vision of Loveliness

 

I love this vision, a mom and her kids. Thanks to my girlfriend we were able to do a fun photoshoot down at the beach.

Bad Vision

Sad to say, glasses and contacts have been my constant companion for 15 years now.

Vision from the Past

Driving down highway 20 my husband and I saw a "Vision from the past". If you know how old this car is - you'll know how old I am. :-) This is a Chevy Nomad BelAir..... the year is for you to guess.... :-)

Eyewear

I had a lot of vision for this, my last Philly session, but due to circumstances out of my control it only lasted 20 minutes :\ . This girl also needs help with her vision - which can make photography tricky.

Challenge: Vision

I've got a whole list of challenge ideas, but I thought this would be an interesting one. Have at it, and please post by midnight tomorrow!

p.s. Rachel here, popping in on Janelle's challenge word. SO SORRY about this morning and forgetting to put a word. COMPLETELY slipped my mind!

Let's see what you have!
