A Photo a Week Challenge: Focal Point
Have you ever seen an image and thought “Wow, I would never have thought to focus on that.” What you focus on is even more important than keeping your image in focus. Sometimes serendipity happens, and you get an image where what you thought you were focusing on isn’t what the camera thought you wanted to have in focus, and the outcome is better than you could hope for. When I snapped this picture, my young friend pointed at just the right moment for the camera’s auto-focus to zoom in on her fingertip, and now I have this really cool image. I did get one of her, too, but that’s for another post.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO WITH INTERESTING FOCAL POINTS.
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″ and “Photo a Week” tags.
- Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Street Life
I took this shot in London outside of Covent Gardens. I love the colorful buildings and window displays, especially on this very cold and rainy March day.
A Photo a Week Challenge: From Above
It’s amazing how different things can look depending on our location. This week’s challenge is to find a unique perspective from above. This was taken at the State Capitol Building in Austin, Texas. We were on the fourth floor of the rotunda and looked down to the crowd milling around on the main floor.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO THAT ARE TAKEN FROM ABOVE YOUR SUBJECT.
Have fun experimenting with heights and different angles. Then blog them and post a link to your masterpieces here.

Word A Week: Underneath
If you have never ridden in a hot air balloon, I highly recommend it. This is the view looking up from inside the basket when the burners are flaming.

Weekly Photo Challenge: From Lines to Patterns
There are lines in everything we look at. Sometimes we only see the lines, but I think that usually we see the beauty of the patterns.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside (again)
My students had a recital last night, and I couldn’t resit posting this shot (similar to another of my Inside photo challenge shots). I took this after the recital, and my sisters are having fun trying out the piano. It’s new to the recital hall (they’ve only had it in here for two months), so it was the first time for everyone playing it.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside
I’ve taught piano for almost 30 years. These pictures are the inside of the Steinway 9′ concert piano my students play at recitals, thanks to Daynes Music Company in Salt Lake City. (The big black thing at the bottom left of the second picture is a mic that allows the store to record the performances and provide me with a nice CD I can copy and give to the students.)

Uncle Russell, will you pick me up?
Weekly Photo Challenge: An Unusual POV
I’m not sure if this is an unusual point of view, as thousands of people walk past the front of Westminster Abbey in London each month (possibly each day), but I don’t know how many take the time to look up.
