Week 7 : ONE object shot at 5 different angles/distances

I'm pretty picky about what I shoot... like it has to have meaning or something. It's hard for me to just shoot some random object that means nothing to me. But the entire reason for this weekly bloggity thang is to step outside of my comfort zone and shoot items I wouldn't normally shoot.... like things without faces.

Maybe if I pretend it's a person it'll be easier?

So, here is Mr. Antique Milk Can. Shot at five different angles/distances. Probably not my best work, but it did the job. And now I can move onto next week's assignment! And maybe, possibly catch myself up...

Week 6 : Botanical

You know how hard it is to shoot something botanical and pretty when it's February/March and everything outside is still dead? Maybe that's why this week's assignment is so far behind (that's my exuse anyways)... but the other day, I noticed these cute little flowers that popped up unexpectedly next to my parents' house. I decided to get out my 50mm prime lens (the poor thing has been cooped up in the camera bag for so long) and capture the only living botanical thing(s) I've seen in months.

Shooting anything besides people is not my favorite thing to do... but I'm learning to like it.

Week 5 : Sports

(Yes, I'm falling behind... but at least I'm still blogging! Just not doing very good at following my weekly list...)

I was sporty in my younger days. In grade school, I played softball, volleyball, basketball and I cheered. I played basketball my freshman year in high school. And I was a varsity cheerleader my sophomore and junior years. I wasn't involved in anything my senior year (except for my boyfriend at the time, who had already graduated). I played rec basketball for a couple years during high school, but I've been pretty lazy since then... until a couple years ago when I was asked by this lovely lady...

to play rec league volleyball..............on her team.

She obviously didn't realize who she was asking. I hadn't done much of anything but work and have babies since high school. I was uncoordinated and out of shape.

"It's just for fun!" she said.

And as some of you may know... I like to have fun! So I agreed.

And boy, am I glad I did! We play every season now and it's loads of fun! We're even pretty good, if I do say so myself. We played the championship game last season!

(We lost the championship game last season.... but we got 2nd place!)
