The theme for this third assignment for the photo group was “Patience”, picked by CJ. I went at it from many different angles…let me know what you think!

Other members images for this theme: (will be available as they are posted)
Ed – House of Husar
CJ – The Great Detox
Ryan – Hansler Blog

So my buddy Ed came up with this idea to get out with cameras in hand and get the creative juices flowing….weekly. So every week we will be picking a one word theme, capture images about that theme, select 5 of those images, and post them on our blogs for everyone to comment and criticize.

• Each week is a new single word theme. Using a single word allows everyone to interpret it in their own way. This allows for more creativity possibly.
• Each theme starts on a Friday and ends on the following Friday.
• You must shoot your photos that week. You can’t submit anything you have shot in the past.
• Post your best 5 photos to your own website or blog each week based on the theme. Feel free to comment or tell a story about how you interpreted the theme that week. Or just post the photos.
• Post the camera, lens, ISO, shutter speed, and aperture used to capture the photo so more people can learn details.
• When you post your photos to your blog or website you then link to everyone that is participating that week. This does a few things for us. Gives us more exposure to our own blogs. Visitors can jump between all our posts/pages very easy.
• You should try to comment on everyone that is participating in the weekly theme. Try to give constructive criticism and encouragement. Maybe select which photo you like the most and why. Commenting is very important with this project!

This week’s theme was Numbers.
I went back and forth with several ideas, but kept reasoning to just stick with traditional numerical characters. It will be fun to see what others interpreted for this theme!

Here’s the 5 images I’ve selected for this week:

Please comment, and be critical so I can learn more, more, more!

I’ll be posting links to other members photos when I get them….

Well with a wind chill of 2° and too much cloud cover rolling in, I wasn’t able to get much for pictures of tonight’s Lunar Eclipse. These were taken on a Canon 20D, at 560mm, f/8, 1/8th second at ISO 200….and yes they are crops from the original size!

The image above was taken September 10, 2001…

I caught this posting from Scott Kelby today(thanks to Jeff @ PhotoWalkPro), that shows the true power of photography. It really is going to make myself and other photographers hopefully stop and think “This might not be here tomorrow!” before every picture we capture.

The series of 4 images/events were used in an ad campaign for a South Africa newspaper, Cape Times, with the caption of: The world can change in a day. Don’t miss your daily edition of in-depth news.

No don’t believe any other media stops time like photographs.
