A little abstract fun in the snow with my macro again! At least, I think. Some of it’s definitely abstract…some of it might be a stretch. Next, please hop over to Valerie and check out her “abstract” image.
Here in Leesburg, Va, we just got pounded with 4 inches of snow followed by freezing rain. The rumor is we’re supposed to get another 5-6 inches of snow tomorrow, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to practice shooting snowflakes. In the meantime, I couldn’t resist sharing a look at my backyard thru my macro...
Our challenge this week was “soft focus.” Admittedly, even by the best photographers this is probably my least favorite style because it sort of looks like a mistake made on purpose, but I guess that’s the beauty of photography. I achieved the look using a filter in PhotoShop called Make Dreamy by Everyday Elements, though...
I’ll admit, I was unreasonably excited about this week’s challenge. I know normally I’m really chatty but let’s just go right into my images for this week. I could hardly contain myself when that Monarch planted himself right in front of me!Next, please hop over to Valerie Rice and check out her “sun/flare” image.
I'm a beach bum from New York, living life with a cup of coffee in one hand and a camera in the other.

http://www.thpro8.com/Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for first-time blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
