Lines Lines Lines

I love learning about the elements of art - and one of them is Lines...

we were tasked with Finding Lines to photograph - again staying in our area.

My whole goal with this class was to make sure I got a few more photos of the place on which we live.... so I headed out to the back side.....



These may not be the lines that most people think of right away.... But I thought of fence lines.

and since we always seem to have some fencing project around here... it seemed appropriate ;-)

In Phone editing - and the times of Covid

Our lesson this week was on in phone editing. I thought I knew what you could do in the phone, as I have a love for pushing buttons and experimenting, but I learned a few more things about my phone - so that was great.

We were supposed to use these new skills and create a photo with the *in times of Covid* theme.

First - we live on the edge of nowhere, so what people see in town and in communities - we only see on the news.

Second - our biggest change has been everyone coming back home as colleges moved to online learning.

Third - we love to get outdoors - so most of my photos of *in times of covid* are out door photos...

So here is my submission for this challenge:

In the Kitchen

This photo challenge sent us into our Kitchens!

Remember we are trying to honor the *stay at home * rules.

And we were to work on Lighting and Photo lock

My kitchen was boring - I took photos of our food, of our utensils, of the counters and nothing spoke to me. Then when My husband was doing dishes ( yay) I saw my candles on the counter - so I lit them and then turned the lights off.

note to self - wait until husband is DONE with dishes before giving him an excuse to quit!


I took quite a few from different angles and close up - but for some reason - this is the one that I like the best - Maybe because of all the black space around it?

Anyways - that was my submission for this challenge!

In the Garden

Our next assignment was a fun one about perspective and lighting and more.
Ricky - knowing we are all on Lockdown ( my word not the governments) wanted us to explore in our gardens.....

I live in Northern Colorado ... Its cold here - we don't start gardens until May.

So I told my husband - I am supposed to explore our garden... Thanks Ricky!! that got him thinking and motivated! He decided the he should probably till it up before the next snow to get moisture in it...

Which led him to burning the weeds -

Which Led to - My submission for this lesson!



I knew this class would be good for me! ( ha ha)
