Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #246: Still Life

Thanks to my iPhone 13 Pro, I am now always ready with a camera, when a likely subject comes into view.  It's fun to capture scenes that seem to just have been waiting for me to come along and capture them.  I got this one at my local outlet mall.  The display of old sewing …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #245: Environments

We live in Western Washington, but one of my favorite environments has always been rural Eastern Washington.  On this side of the Cascades, it's often wet and rainy, with gray cloudy skies for most of the fall and winter.  Eastern Washington is much drier, with brown, rolling hills.  Eastern Washington grows wheat, hops, and, increasingly, …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #244: Glowing Moments

Let There Be Light.  And there was light.  There is a reason God created light first.  Nothing lives totally without light, and photographers care most about how a subject is lighted. These two trees were lighted from below. Sometimes you just get lucky, as I was one evening when we arrived home from a short …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #243: It’s Tricky

April Fools!  April 1 is the day of the year for playing pranks.  Or maybe finding things in real life that just look like pranks.  I got such a kick out of this "pranky" sign in front of a business in Wyoming! I can just hear it now.  "Honey, I crashed the truck".  "You did …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #241: Spring has Sprung!

On my Photos on my iMac, I have an album entitled Spring.  After autumn, spring is my favorite season, especially here in the Pacific Northwest, where winter is often gray and depressing.  In my backyard, the first sign of spring is the little scrawny hydrangea I planted, getting its first leaves.  Last year, I took …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #240: The Photo Road Most Traveled

I'm no professional photographer at all, but I do love to snap pictures with my iPhone camera everywhere I go.  My most common subject is landscapes, with a preference for rolling hills, mountains, and water.  Now, the last week of February, we flew down to Indian Wells, California, for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar, …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #239: Finding Peace

For me, finding peaceful places always seems to include water.  Maybe it's because I grew up surrounded by bodies of water in the Seattle area.  Wherever we travel, we like to check out local lakes and rivers.  And when we are on a cruise ship, my favorite activity is sitting out on our stateroom balcony, …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #238: Alone Time

I spend a lot of time alone these days, and I have no problem with that.  I get up early, long before my husband, and get ready to go to work.  But first, I have to satisfy the furry animal who waits outside the bedroom door, meowing for her breakfast. In the evenings, when Hubby …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #235: Shadows & Reflections in Monochrome

I just love what I can do with the photos I take with my iPhone 13 Pro's cameras.  It's with me wherever I go, so I'm always ready to spot unexpected photo ops.  And post-production on my Mac is really easy, too.  Reflections and shadows have always been some of my favorite subjects, and I …
