'Hanging out in the hood' photo challenge.

I had fun hanging around in my hood

taking pictures. Now, I know we were not suppose to go for the stereotypes, but how can I show you guys my area without a real edelweis. For the second photo I thought it would be nice to see a little of my neighborhood from behind my flowers in the window.

My favorite picture I made friday. I was driving along the lake again and this time I was smart enough to take my camera along. The morning sun was shining on the water and there where a few fisherman on the lake. I love how that picture turned out!

Negative Space Challenge

I learned a hard lesson this week and that is always take your camera with you where ever you go! Last week I had just picked up my kids at Grandma's when I saw this picture perfect situation. There was this one sailboat on the foggy lake. Simply gorgeous!

Then this weekend we went on a camper trip to Gampelen at the Neuenburger Lake. On the first evening when my dh was putting the kids in bed , I went out to practice a little with my camera. On the pier I saw this swan family. Of course I wanted to take some pictures of them. After I had made a few shots daddy swan had enough and made it clear that it was time for me to leave.

But I love how one of the pictures turned out. When I was playing around in PS and thinking about negative pace,I got the idea to see what the negative of this picture would look like. I thought it looked so cool that I decided to put this picture up as my entry for this weeks challenge!

Fill the frame Photo Challenge

This weeks challenge was difficult for me! I found it hard to fill the frame with out the subject getting lost. So here are my entries for this week!

Remembering Wendy's last weeks note about not needing a great camera to take great pictures! The photo of the yellow flower was taken last year with my little cybershot. But because I thought it fitted this challenge perfectly I decided to upload this one as well.
