A Photo a Week Challenge: Tilted

tilted_nmp

Have you ever tilted your camera on accident and then thought “Wow, that works!” If you have some time to work with your subject (or subjects), try some shots with your camera tiled from slightly to wildly and see what happens. It can add a unique twist to a commonplace image.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE PHOTOS THAT ARE AT A UNIQUE ANGLE.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Here’s how it works:

  1. 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.
  2. 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″ and “Photo a Week” tags.
  3. Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
  4. Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Rare

rare_nmp

Though sighting lizards in the Escalante/Horse Canyon area of Utah is not rare, it is rare to have one sit still long enough for you to grab a good shot of them unless you are willing to stay in one place for a long time. We didn’t have that luxury, so we’re very happy this guy didn’t find us too scary to pose.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Natural Monuments

 

Nice pose, Russell

The world is filled with amazing natural wonders. Sometimes, we travel half way around the world to see them, like we did this summer to see the Matterhorn in Switzerland. Sometimes, you find them closer to home. The red rock canyons of southern Utah and the Grand Canyon in Arizona are within a day’s drive of our home. We love traveling the globe and finding fascinating places to visit and photograph.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO Of MONUMENTS FOUND IN NATURE.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Favorite Place to Visit

Coyote Gulch, UtahMy husband and I love to travel. We love living in Utah because of it’s diverse scenery. One of our very favorite places to visit is Coyote Gulch in Southern Utah near Escalante National Monument. It’s a three-day backpacking trip to follow the Gulch from one end to the other, but it is worth every sore muscle and scraped knee.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO OF YOUR FAVORITE PLACE (OR PLACES) TO VISIT.

Whether it’s across the globe or in your own backyard, we all have places we love to see. Sometimes, it’s more the company than the location that makes a trip or place memorable. Feel free to share new or old photos of some of your favorite places.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Monumental

For this week’s challenge, I found two pictures: one from nature, one man-made. The first one is from a trip to Escalante, Utah a few years ago. This majestic view can ben found while driving along the Burr Trail.

The second is of the front of the LDS Salt Lake Temple taken this past fall.
