Tuesday Photo Challenge – Light

Here is Dutch Goes the Photo’s (https://dutchgoesthephoto.net) Tuesday photo Challenge.  This week’s topic is:  Light (https://dutchgoesthephoto.net/2016/08/23/tuesday-photo-challenge-light/).

“Go play with light, find some reflections, bright little spots filtering through leaves, or whatever catches your eye, and, most of all, have fun!!!”

I find it sometimes challenging to catch the sparkly light on the water, but I thought this one turned out pretty good.

Macro Moments Challenge: Week 10

Week 10 of Macro Moments from Musin’ with Susan (https://musinwithsusan.com).   (https://musinwithsusan.com/2016/08/24/macro-moments-challenge-week-10/).  Just to remind you (and me), here’s how the challenge works:

  • Choose a favorite macro photo  from the past week or from your archives.
  • Add the photo to your post and a brief description. I would love to know, as I am sure others would, too,  what camera and lens you used and your settings.

This week there is no theme.  So, here you go!

Tuesdays of Texture: Week 35

Tuesdays of Texture from Narami (https://narami.wordpress.com/4486-2/).  This week’s challenge page can be found at https://narami.wordpress.com/2016/08/23/tuesdays-of-texture-week-35-of-2016/

I didn’t think about this as having an interesting texture as I was busy drinking it at the time, but looking back, it kind of does!  And it’s very refreshing at the end of a long work day as well…
