Challenge Rules

Well, here is the information about the rules and the challenge that MCHope from the Netherlands has issued. She has started her end of the challenge and I feel a little bit behind. My computer was gone for two days and I wasn't to upload pictures to get things going. So here are the guidelines:

1. You need to take the photo that week. So no using archives.
2. And no putting yourself down or excusing yourself ;)
3. It needs be a typical you picture: showing your surroundings, atmosphere where you are, or something typical American. I do the same here.
4. Why not show the settings we've used too. That'll teach us (and others) a lot too.
5. Lets dare to comment on each other's photos both the positive and learning points!

I'm so excited to do this! It means I actually have an excuse to carry my camera around with me! With two rambunctious little boys though, this could be interesting.  I hope to post this week's surroundings by tomorrow.

As an example, I took these of the Mother's Day hanging basket my boys gave me. It was beautiful and I love plants and flowers, so they can't ever go wrong.

What are some of your surroundings?

Oh how wonderful you started now too. And no putting down... you are not behind. This is a challenge yes, but it should give you energy, it should be fun. The computer problems just delayed you, you're not behind. Think of it that way!

I am wondering why you shot with ISO 400? It's outside right? I usually use 200 when out during the day.

I love that your boys gave you this. Sweet. And it is your surroundings but this flower could be anywhere. Why not get your porch or house in the picture so I know where you are?

Good start! Love it! Have a blessed week!

I wasn't putting down...I was stating facts.

The picture wasn't outside, it was inside. It was also a cloudy day. Hence the 400.

I'll do better about making sure there is something more of my surroundings included. although, you can see a tiny bit of my back door in the background. ;)
