A Photo a Week Challenge: Things with Wings
I have always had trouble getting good photos of live things that fly. I love photos other people have taken of birds and butterflies and bugs in flight. The Hawaiian bride and groom did a butterfly release at the end of the ceremony. The butterflies had to be kept cold and then “woken up” at the right time for them to fly. These were a little behind the time, so I was able to get some good shots of a couple of them on the bouquet.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO THAT FEATURES THINGS WITH WINGS.
Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
- Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
- Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.

A Photo a Week Challenge (late): From the Back
With huge apologizes to everyone about the lateness of this post, I present this week’s photo challenge. Three years ago, at this same spot, I took a picture of a young couple for their bridal/formal wedding photos. This year, I was able to do the same for that bride’s father as he was preparing to remarry. This week I want you to find photos that tell stories showing only the back of your subject or subjects.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE ONE OR MORE PHOTOS WHERE THE SUBJECT IS SHOWN FROM THE BACK.
And just in case you were interested, here’s the original photo of the other couple:

A Photo a Week Challenge: The Devil is in the Details
Last week, I had the opportunity to photograph a lovely wedding. The bride wore a beautiful, antique pink gown with this intricate detailing on the bodice and skirt. While she was busy having her hair and makeup expertly done, I snagged this up-close shot of the wedding dress, hoping to capture the stunning handiwork. The wedding went off without a hitch, and everyone had a grand time at the party.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Picture in Picture
Today, more people take pictures with their phones than with anything else, including cameras. I grabbed this shot at my niece’s wedding last month just as a friend was nabbing a photo of the bride and her maid of honor. Another cleaver method of photography that’s starting to get a lot of use is taking a picture of someone else taking a picture and seeing the image on that device, like this cell phone or the back of a digital camera. So, get cleaver, get creative, and have fun with this one.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO (OR THREE OR…) OF SOMEONE ELSE TAKING A PICTURE, ESPECIALLY IF WE CAN SEE WHAT THEY SEE.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Tender Moments
Our lives are made up of moments. Some are very public and some are very private. As a professional photographer, I’m frequently invited to share very private moments with people, especially couples. At our niece’s wedding this weekend, I didn’t take pictures at the ceremony or reception, but the couple asked me to take pictures at the luncheon between the two big events. It was a lot of fun, and they are adorable together, how could I resist grabbing this tender moment as they took a minute to sit and just be together.
(P.S. I did this same challenge almost two years ago with a picture of the bride’s parents. Seems to be a theme with my sister and her family.)
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO (OR THREE OR…) OF SWEET, TENDER, PERSONAL MOMENTS.
