So I am starting off this week’s challenge with a dud. I had the hardest time with long exposure. The name for it should have just been “Really blurry image”. Then I would have nailed it. But once again I had a ton of fun finding things to take pictures of for each of the prompts.
Long Exposure
Yeah, it’s crap. But what do you expect when you give a 4 year old a sparkler? Especially when it is his first time.
Shapes
This might be kind of a copout photo, but this toy has so many shapes in it and I loved the way the shadow created even more when I went to photograph it.
Green
Can you spot the bird’s nest in this mass of green? I was on my “me and my camera” time walk and was snapping away and almost didn’t even see such a wonderful little treasure tucked away.
Fruit
Cole begged me for a pineapple. My kids love fruits and vegetables. I bought it and sure enough their aren’t really eating it. Oh well, at least I got to take some shots of it before I cut it up.
Childhood Memory
This is the mechanism for the music box I have had since I was about 4 years old. It still works. I thought the inside was much more of an interesting picture than the outside.
Join in the fun over at Ramblings and Photos for Scavenger Hunt Sunday.







All so great!! I love your long exposure!! Fruit is awesome & I really like your take on childhood memory :)
ReplyDeleteI feel you on the long exposure one, still not sure what to do.
ReplyDeleteBut you have some great entries, your pineapple looks yummy, childhood memories is gorgeous.
I wouldn't call the long exposure a dud at all--wait 'til you see mine! Those last two shots are just beautiful! We love grilled pineapple with a little icecream--yum!
ReplyDeleteThat pineapple shot is AWESOME! I hear ya on the long exposure issue... I also posted blurry sparkler shots :D
ReplyDeleteI really like the perspective of your pineapple shot! I think this would look awesome framed up in a kitchen!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pineapple shot! And your shapes one too :D
ReplyDeleteI love the pineapple shot! If your kids won't eat it fresh, you could cut it up in chunks and make a sweet-and-sour (chicken or pork) dish with it, with green and red peppers. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the inside of the music box and the pineapple photo is awesome! I didn't see the nest until I read the caption. Cool find!
ReplyDeleteThese are all great! I like the sparkler shot! The blur makes it fun. Okay, and the shape shot.....amazing!! The shadow just grabbed me. Well done again.
ReplyDeletelove the fruit and childhood memory! great interpretation!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the shapes photo - the color, the shadow, I love it!
ReplyDeleteYour shapes photo is fantastic! And I love the fruit shot!
ReplyDeleteThat pineapple is beautiful- my favorite fruit for sure! I was always mesmerized by music boxes & how they worked when I was a kid. What a lovely shot of it
ReplyDeleteWhat a previous childhood memory!
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice meeting you yesterday! I look forward to following your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteI think you did a nice job with the hunt. I especially like your childhood memory shot.
ReplyDeleteI love the green (of course!) and it makes me wonder what type of bird made that nest. Those are some pretty serious sticks and twigs. No whimpy bird made that one. I also love the vintage look of your music box. Very cool. You mentioning your walk with your camera time makes me think of my day yesterday. I was at an outdoor 'thing' with different outdoor sessions and one of the sessions was outdoor photography. They let us go for an hour w our cameras and just shoot pictures. FUN! (another session was shooting guns - that was fun too!) :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! I love the perspective of your fruit shot! Nicely done...
ReplyDeleteNice pictures, especially the one of the nest tucked back behind the leaves.
ReplyDeleteFun shape photo, like the shadow.
ReplyDeleteLove that pineapple.. seriously.. love it!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to participate in the scavenger hunt but I love blog hoppin' just to see what people submitted. I really learn from others pictures! Love your pineapple and shapes shot! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteOk, my friend, quit being so hard on yourself! Enough with the putdowns, you take beautiful pics!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, lecture over ;-) LOVE the pineapple shot! In the shapes shot, it's cool how you can see shapes in the shadow too. The music box, what a nice keepsake!
I'm pretty sure I have one of those music boxes stashed away somewhere... so nostalgic ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOVE your shot of the pineapple!! Great job :)
