Sunday Stills Challenge – Eyes

This week’s assignment as been fun and a bit, well, challenging! It’s all in getting your subject to hold still for more than ten seconds…

Melvin's right eye.

Sunday Stills Challenge – Black ‘n White

This week’s challange is a little bit different than the previous ones we’ve been having.  For this week, we were supposed to pick two subjects from past challanges and reshoot them, either in black and white, or edit them and change the color to black and white after they’ve been taken.

Trace posing so beautifully for the camera (I think he loves his job as a model….)  This is from the pets challenge, which I believe was the very first Sunday Stills Challenge ever issued!  Shot in black and white.

Shot in black and white.  Do you consider your non-working horse a pet?  I do, so I figured Nick would fit into the pet category.

Shot in black and white.  Finally, our Siamese kitten/yearling, Gretchen.

Shot in black and white.  Black cherry from last week’s macros of flowers challenge.

Pale pink/white Rhododendron.  And finally, my favorite flower shot of the week!  Shot in black and white.

Sunday Stills Challenge – Flower Macros

This week’s challenge was to shoot some macros of whatever is starting to bloom for the folks who don’t have much green and no flowers yet.  This is the perfect challenge for this week, almost everything has greened up and is flowering like crazy.  I took so many pictures that I had a hard time narrowing it down to a select twelve or thirteen to post!
