February 18 Full Moon

I was pulling out of the driveway to head to the gym when I caught sight of the moon. I pulled back in and grabbed the camera and headed out to the backyard. Not great pictures but it was fun to try. Sadly, I did not make it to the gym but I did do an exercise DVD instead.

Daily Shoot Old

Make a photograph of something old. Be sure to show us the character that age can give a subject.

We brought these angels back from my husband's parent's house a couple of weeks ago. I like the vintage look and I'm sure we had something very similar when I was a child. I'm hoping that birthday candles will work in the little holders next Christmas. If you look closely you can see the the L broke off at one point or another.

Daily Shoot Sky

Look up today and make a photograph of the sky. Cloudy, clear, or somewhere in between? Tell the story of your sky today.

I think we were fortunate that it was cloudy today. It was above freezing and the sun might have made the rink unplayable. Instead the boys tore it up pretty good but had a great time doing so.

My son has a group of friends over for an afternoon of skating on our backyard rink. Since he's in college he doesn't get to use it as often as he'd like but he came home this weekend knowing it's quite possibly the last time it will be in usable shape. We have spent many a February break shoveling slush off of it trying to keep it going just a bit longer. It was a little warmer than normal today so the rink is pretty well shot but it was worth it. My son is hoping it will still be skateable when he returns in 2 weeks.

Daily Shoot Out of Focus

Sometimes what’s out of focus can make the shot. Create a photograph today where some/all of your subject isn't in focus.

I don't cut back all of my garden plants just so there's a little something to look at in the winter. This is about all that's showing these days.

Daily Shoot Unusual Point of View

Change your point of view. Make a photograph from an unusual point of view today.

Just a quick shot tonight. I have a collection of Snow Babies. This one is looking through an ice hole. So tonight I let it hang off the cabinet so I could get low and shoot up at her face.

Daily Shoot Leading Line

Make a photograph that features a leading line through it today. Draw the viewers eye through the image.

My drive to work was a winter wonderland this morning. On days like this I wish I could just keep driving and taking pictures and go for a hike.
