Challenge #48

When I was in third grade our teacher, Miss Garfield, sent us all home with a simple assignment. We were to imagine that in class the next day a martian would be visiting who wanted to learn how to make a peanut butter sandwich. It was our job to write down instructions for said martian. We had no idea that Miss G was going to be our martian and that she would be following our instructions EXACTLY. All of us did our best, reading out loud what we had written, but in the end, what she had before her did not resemble, in any way, a peanut butter sandwich. Oh and there was peanut butter just about everywhere! It didn't take us long to realize why she'd been wearing gloves.

So with that inspiration this week's challenge is going to be a little more involved.

The Challenge:

Do a Photo Demo

Rules:

1.) Feel free to demo any normal thing that you do throughout your day, or if your adventurous you can do an activity for the sole purpose of using it for this challenge. (Hint for those of us with children: if this seems a bit overwhelming just capture something you do with your kid..or for your kids.)

2.) Please try to limit the images to no more than 10.

3.) Tweaking is fine if you'd like to display the images differently.

4.) Have fun!

5.) MckLinky will be open for approximately three weeks.

Challenge #47

So sorry everyone for getting this up so late! My husband and I have been house hunting and I really haven't been on the computer that much in the last few days. For this week's challenge I think I'm going to "borrow" an challenge from another site since my brain is clearly else where.

This week's challenge:

Minimalism

(hint: for a little help check out what this guy had to say.)

No rules, just do your thing and tweak if you'd like! And post as many or few photos as you'd like!

MckLinky will stay open for three weeks!

Have fun!

LINK!

Hey everyone! I've seen in some of the comments left on people's photos that many of you are seeking to learn more about your camera and how to better control settings and such to get what you want. I found a great link (to the Digital Photography School website) that has articles on a whole bunch of basic stuff. I'm in the process of reading through them myself.

It never hurts to go back to the basics. I always find something I either didn't know, or forgot about.

So go take a peek!

Special Activity!

Hey Everyone! I thought since you all did a GREAT job capturing your Christmas memories I thought we'd do something a little fun.

Along with the photo challenge this week (see entry below this one) you'll all have an opportunity to share with everyone your favorite journal entry from Challenge #45.

Here's the deal, when you enter your MckLinky Link put your name in but then for the link have it be the link to the entry you liked the most! And feel free to post your top two if you'd like!

Have fun!
