The Round Robin Photo Challenge ~ Before and After

ShareHello December. The turkey leftovers are all gone. The scarecrow is packed away. The leaves have been raked (for now) and the pumpkins have been tossed out. That means I’m now in a Christmas decorating frame of mind. And that’s what I went with for today’s Round Robin Photo Challenge “Before and After.” These are...

The Round Robin Photo Challenge ~ In the Window

ShareWow! It has been beautiful fall weather here in my part of Texas. Perfect weather for getting out and taking photographs. But have I taken advantage of that? No. I’ve been stuck here in the office doing some “horrific” detailed research stuff for some reports I’ll have to do, taking my Mom to the doctor’s...

Yes, both shots qualify. I like the Blizzard one the best. Sometimes reflections just make the photo more interesting!

Oh my I feel like going to DQ and get that blizzard yum yum!
In the window

MonicaNovember 6, 2010 - 12:31 pm

Oh great now you got me wanint a chocolate dipped cone too! I don’t care for the Blizzards either however, my daughter LOVES them. As for the reflections in the window, I tried to aviod them too and it wasn’t happening with my daughters cat in the window.

RuthNovember 6, 2010 - 1:09 pm

I like both shots. The first one has a very interesting perspective.

KatNovember 6, 2010 - 2:17 pm

Your idea for the first shot was very clever.

Reflections are TOUGH! So many things to consider to avoid them. But Karen’s right…sometimes they add quite a bit of interest.

Nice shots!

You really captured a lot in that first shot! Well done :0)

I almost needed a manual to find how to comment,lol !
I like the one out of the car with the rear mirror, that’s very creative !

Oh man that looks good! Our DQ closes is only open in the warmer months…which for us is from about Memorial Day till sometime towards the end of September.

Rita aka CashjockyNovember 7, 2010 - 2:13 am

I think that first shot works great. You got a three-fer. shoot through a window, into a window and reflecting back into the window. Looks like you covered all the bases to me.

Thanks for stopping by my Doggie in the window. I do so appreciate all those who visit and leave a comment.

Oh darn! Now I want a Butterfinger Blizzard! My fav.

JeanetteNovember 7, 2010 - 7:10 am

Fun pictures! I think the reflection is what makes “In the Window” photos special!

AubreyNovember 10, 2010 - 8:32 am

Im one of those who does enjoy a Good blizzard, but so often anymore they aren’t very good. I got a chuckle out of the first photo of you!!

The Round Robin Photo Challenge ~ Bridge

ShareHappy October Saturday to you! It’s a beautiful day here in Texas, chance of rain (which we need) and nice cool fall like temps. I love it. Today the Round Robin Photo Challenge is “bridge.” Well, I’ve been super busy with work, and life and Halloween preparations so…I didn’t get out and about to capture...

Two great choices for the theme. The first is a great example of interesting architecture and has a cool story to boot! I love the composition as well as the post processing you did on the second image. Very, very nice.

Kim, usaOctober 23, 2010 - 10:20 am

It’s beautiful! I love bridges and it makes me think this structure makes people lives easy. Happy weekend!
Bridges

JeanetteOctober 23, 2010 - 11:05 am

Nice bridge photos! Yes, that is a spooky looking hotel but I bet it was something else in it’s day! Thanks for visiting my blog. I look forward to more Round Robin Photo Challenges!

Rita aka CashjockyOctober 23, 2010 - 1:11 pm

I agree that old hotel would make a great haunted house. Shame to see such a lovely building abandoned and dying.

Your post gave me a few new things to research. I had not heard of the software called bridges. I sure miss my photoshop but they do not yet have a version for my new Mac.

Loved your photos in the next post about old Route 66. I have driven through Texas but never had the time to stop and sightsee. Hope to one day travel Route 66 (which has a stretch that runs in front of my mothers house) to the west coast.

Thanks for stopping by and walking the Chain of Rocks bridge (also on Route 66) with me. Your comment was like putting icing on a cake.

MonicaOctober 23, 2010 - 3:01 pm

That first photo is facinating, it has my imagination running wild! =) I can only imagine how the hotel looked in it’s prime. Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed both photos.

LindaOctober 23, 2010 - 4:28 pm

Great pictures. I think I’m glad that the last bridge is now closed to traffic

RuthOctober 23, 2010 - 11:13 pm

The Baker Hotel looks very interesting, and does indeed look like a great place for a spooky fun house. I’d love to know more about the old bridge…

Karen Funk BlocherOctober 24, 2010 - 7:41 am

I like both of those very much. That looks like a really neat old hotel, and I like your choice of sepia for the old disused bridge.

Karen Funk BlocherOctober 24, 2010 - 7:42 am

Dang it! I went to correct “;oke” to “like” and hit Post instead!

@Karen Funk Blocher,
It’s okay. I fixed it for you. Thanks for visiting!

JamaOctober 24, 2010 - 9:15 pm

That building is too beautiful to be abandoned! great architecture .

MargaretOctober 25, 2010 - 8:16 pm

Your choice of bridges reflect a real artist’s eye! Very well done.

I glanced through your blog a little, and all of your photos are spectacular!

AubreyNovember 10, 2010 - 8:50 am

ha ha ha!! I’m kinda surprised you didn’t take a photo of the “bridge” in your mouth!! LOL

The Round Robin Photo Challenge ~ For A Song

ShareToday’s Round Robin Photo Challenge theme is For A Song. “Pick a song you like, and give your photographic interpretation of all or part of that song’s lyrics. You can either include the relevant section of the lyrics or, for a really well-known song, ask people to guess what you’re illustrating.” I thought and...

The Round Robin Photo Challenge ~ Togetherness

ShareThis week the Round Robin Photo challenge is “togetherness.” I almost forgot about this challenge but now and then the brain does kick in and lucky for me it wasn’t too late! Anyway, this is a photo that I took a few years ago when I first got my camera and I was trying to...
