Challenge finished!

It's only 31 days later, but I feel like I've learned so much. I'm constantly observing my surroundings to try and find a picture and decide on how to best capture it. I'm also enjoying what I'm seeing around me - it's great to rediscover places you've been hundreds or thousands of times!

I may not have strictly adhered to the ONE picture-a-day idea - it's hard to not want to share all the pictures you enjoyed taking.

And I was often inspired by my fellow challengees! Thanks to everyone who participated and took the time to share your pics with the rest of us. It's great to develop our own little community online around photography.

What now? It sounds like several of us photobloggers are going to extend and modify the challenge to "A-photo-a-week for a year". Details to come.

Cheers!
Chad

July 31st - Post-wedding and prairie drive





The real reason you need a car with a sunroof : transporting trees...

July 30th - Wedding





July 29th - Prairie sunsets and sculpture





July 28th - Balls of fire and departures

The advantage of a small airport like in Comox : it's easy to say goodbye once you're through security.





I saw a youtube video a while back describing how to make these balls of cotton that you light on fire and then you can roll them around in your hands and play with them. I took this a step further and wanted to make three of them so I could juggle fire. However, it turns out size matters and the big ones were burning my hands. But, I still got some pictures!





I like how I got the smoke on this one.

July 27th - Personified guitar...

So I've had this idea for a while, and I actually took it quite a bit farther...






That's going to be it for a couple days. I'm going to be travelling and going to a wedding, so pics for the last few days will be posted by the beginning of August.

July 26th - Tango and reflection




Tango!
