New Challenge?

[dockothebay]

Ok guys - I admit that I was a big fat slacker in the December Challenge - apparently lots of us were! It was a crazy busy month - traveling, parties, entertaining, shopping, etc. I certainly took lots of pictures, just never had anything worthy of the challenge I guess! Anyway - I was looking forward to something in January, please? Anyone else still want to play?

I did spend some time working on funky lighting shots - Thanks Dan for the tips around shooting lights, indoors and out!

One of my tree attempts - I left the stupid watering can in the way

Early December in Mexico

Early January in Minnesota

Jackie, I really like the zoom in/zoom out effect of that first image!

Thanks Steve - as I looked at it I wanted to rearrange the ornaments so the middle spot had some color - not a black hole - but never got back to doing it when there wasn't a lot of other junk interfering. Dan's images/tips in mid December provided the impetus to try some stuff I never would have otherwise done.

I think you did a marvelous job with the shot! The post was meant to get folks to try something just a bit different and I am glad you gave it a try! Kind of fun wasn't it
