Lens-Artists Challenge #321 –  Intentional Camera Movement

This Lens Artists Challenge is hosted by Anne. Though I belong more with the Lens-Smudgers than Lens-Artists, I ultimately try to be faithful to the theme, though sometimes by a long stretch of the imagination. In all instances, the camera is moving intentionally. On the way to Venice from the airport: On the way to Murano/Burano, … Continue reading Lens-Artists Challenge #321 –  Intentional Camera Movement →

Lens-Artists Challenge #315 – Common Object

The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Ritva.  Excellent theme. Turning the common lime to the sublime, perhaps? Hmm. I had in mind an image of a nice, solid, ovoid, bright green, lime, but in all my rudimentary AI photo searches the limes are slices or wedges. What is one to do? It still … Continue reading Lens-Artists Challenge #315 – Common Object →

Lens-Artists Challenge #314 – Shorelines

The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Anne.  Excellent theme. Anywhere there is water, or liquid, for that matter, even such as lava, though I won't include that, nor shorelines in manufactured containers, except maybe one, but anyway, anywhere there is water, there are SHORELINES. The Hawaiian Islands have nothing but shorelines: (Click any … Continue reading Lens-Artists Challenge #314 – Shorelines →

Lens-Artists Challenge #313 – Cool Colors

The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Johnbo.  Sez he: "Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary defines “cool” in seven ways.

Lens-Artists Challenge #312 – Sense of Scale

The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Sofia.  Sez she: "In this challenge, I’ll be looking for a Sense of Scale, big or small.When trying to convey a sense of scale, one of the easiest ways to do so is by having something that we all know the size of.

Lens-Artists Challenge #311 – What’s In A Garden

The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Ann-Christine. “So – What’s in a Garden? Feel free to use any meaning of the word – or create your own!” Okaaaayyyy. She said create your own!!! How about a garden of earthly METAL delights. One man’s garden is another man’s heavy metal. (Above, the very rare … Continue reading Lens-Artists Challenge #311 – What’s In A Garden →

Lens-Artists Challenge #310 – Zigzag

The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Patti. Sez Patti: "It’s time to take a photographic detour off the straight and narrow path and veer into the territory of unexpected turns, switchbacks, detours, and zigzag lines, much like our journey through life itself!" Oooh. My rudimentary AI is even LESS than rudimentary when searching … Continue reading Lens-Artists Challenge #310 – Zigzag →

Lens-Artists Challenge #308 – Perfect Pairs

The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Albatz Travel Adventures. I am OTR (on the road) this coming week. Apologies if I'm not as attentive to your contributions as usual. My own contribution will be more meager than usual, also. PAIRS!!! I pre-assembled a post without aforethought (before thought, or thinking?) which, surprise surprise, … Continue reading Lens-Artists Challenge #308 – Perfect Pairs →

Lens-Artists Challenge #306 – Habitat

The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Tina. Oxford Languages: "the natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism." If we don't accidentally or intentionally eradicate our fellow planetary inhabitants, we must CO-HABITATE! The inquisitive but wisely distant yellow-bellied marmot, just off the bike path along Tenmile Creek between Frisco and Copper … Continue reading Lens-Artists Challenge #306 – Habitat →

Lens-Artists Challenge #304 – Behind

The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Ritva. She says:  "When composing a photograph, the background serves as the canvas against which the subject stands out. The background provides context and narrative to your photo." It's been said, by wiser than I, that I read the instructions and then do whatever I want. Therefore, … Continue reading Lens-Artists Challenge #304 – Behind →
