Week 2 - Photography Challenge Showcase

Over at Erin's blog she has created a little Photography Challenge for the month of May. The challenge is to take a photograph each day and explore a new aspect of photography.
While on holiday I have been using some of Erin's challenges during some of my travels. Here is my second weeks attempt.

Sunset
We are currently living up on a hill and do not see any sunsets from here.  Yesterday we visited an animal rehab centre and this is what I saw with the sun setting in the background.  I am off to Johannesburg on Friday and will try to take a sunset photo from there.

Landscape
Paul and I walked down the hill one morning and this is looking back over the farm at Trackers where we are staying.

The Person I love
When I met Paul I discovered he loved all birds of prey and was an avid falconer.  Yesterday for he got to hold a Hooded Vulture on the glove.

A Colour Scheme
Here in the bush the uniform that all the rangers and farmers wear is khaki in colour.  Last week while in town I discovered a wonderful shop and had a serious lapse of self control.  Here My N is in his "Ranger" uniform.

Playing with Shadows.
On Mother's Day Paul took me out for a cuppa and when we were done I saw this basket with it's shadows...

A Photo depicting motion.
This week I have had a few opportunities to capture motion.  I couldn't choose one so I put them all up.

Here is some honey pouring into a bucket.

After bringing the bee's back to the house they were attracted to the light.
Here is a photo of their flight path.

A lovely fountain at the cafe.

Clouds

Clouds coming in over the mountains on the way home from our trip.

Thank you Erin I have once again enjoyed this weeks challenges.  I am eagerly taking photo's for this current week.

Don't forget to pop on over to Seven Little Australians and have a look at the photo's everyone is showcasing.

Week 1 - Photography Challenge Showcase

I love taking photographs and capturing memories. One of the things I desire to learn is how to use my camera more effectively to capture the precious moments that happen around me daily.

I was reading on Erin's blog the other day that she has created a little Photography Challenge for the month of May. The challenge is to a photograph each day and explore a new aspect of photography.

While on holiday I have been using some of Erin's challenges during some of my travels.  Here is my first weeks attempt.

Changing Light

Up Close

Macro photography is one of my favourite forms of photography. I love to look for the smallest flower on my travels and see if I can photograph it.
