I’d love you to join along with us next week! Challenge yourself this week to step out of your comfort zone. Get low, go high, change your angle, get close, back up. Do something different with your shots this week! A couple simple guidelines..
1. Anyone can participate.
2. Since this challenge is meant to help you expand your eye for photography, try to take five new photos this week for the challenge. Or do as many as you got!
3. If you find yourself struggling, you may use one photo from your archive, but who will really know…
4. Link up here on Saturday or sometime before the next Saturday. You can use the button below or just a link would be nice.
5. Have fun iSpying!
For next week the prompts you will be looking to photograph or iSpy are as follows:
– Needles
– Color: black
– Great
– Starts with R
– Your Choice
Here’s the new banner and button for 2022!

Hi Lysha. Great photos, so fab to see the differences in the sets, and I love the fungi. I don’t know how to make a set of two or four like you have. Would you share how-to with me please?
I used a paid version of PicMonkey to make collages. I wanted to write a post about websites/apps for making collages, but just no time. Here are some suggestions: https://www.shutterfly.com/ideas/photo-collage-apps/
If you don’t want to mess with that, you can always just post the photos like normal.
I enjoyed the monthly photos and making the collages for the last photo session worked out perfectly with the holidays making that last week of the year feel so busy. Some monthly/quarterly ideas include “what’s on your plate?”, sunrise/sunset, what’s the weather?, view from a window…
I LOVE these suggestions Joanne and Lysha!
I like your quarterly shots being from the same vantage point so you can see the change of seasons. The quarterly/monthly shots were good – even though I only came in halfway through! Joanne’s suggestions are good – meal, window view, workspace – as well as the house and yard ones.
I love the first “your choice” photo. I think keep the quarterly selfie but maybe change up the house/yard ones as those will likely look very similar to this year. I LOVE Joanne’s suggestions. Another quarterly suggestion could be your outfit (both indoors and outdoors) — like my winter outfit could be all my outdoor clothes but my indoor winter outfit could be sweaters and jeans or cozy pjs. Another option is “quarterly exercise.” How about “What are you reading?” quarterly? Or pick a spot in your town/area and photograph it through the seasons… I know, I know — way too many ideas. Joanne’s comment inspired me!!! 🙂
