Welcome to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge!  The theme for this week’s Challenge is Buildings and Other Structures.

“My challenge for you, this week, is to find your own fascinating structures that capture your attention, tell a story or are just beautiful. You can capture new scenes or take a trip down memory lane in your photo archives. Remember to link to this challenge when you post and use the Lens-Artists tag. I want to see all your artful structures.”

Welcome to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge!  The theme for this week’s Challenge is Skyscapes or Cloudscapes.

“For this week’s theme, I’ve selected a few cloudscape photo from my archives.  To some of us, clouds represent a symbol of freedom, imagination, and the ever-changing nature of life. I love to look up at the sky and let my thoughts drift with clouds, especially when I travel. I’m always fascinated by the shape, form, colors of clouds, and let my imagination soar.”

Welcome to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge!  The theme for this week’s Challenge is Mood.

“For this week, I challenge you and myself to think of mood, how to convey and create an emotional reaction to your shot. That can be accomplished by capturing situations or occasions, photography styles or people and their feelings. Never forgetting how moods can be perceived in different ways by different people, there is where I’ll start.”

Welcome to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge!  The theme for this week’s Challenge is It’s Tricky.

“Enjoy the chance to think outside-the-box for this challenge. What tricks do you use to get the shot you want? Do you love reflections in raindrops? Is there something hidden in your photo, or the unsuspecting behind a wall. Have you ever found ice cream clouds, or illusions in a waterfall at sunset? A unicycle? That’s tricky and so are sand castles with the incoming tide. I hope you join us. Remember to link your post to mine, and use the Lens-Artists Tag so we can find you.”

This was a bit of a tricky one, but don’t ask me how I got it this way, because I don’t remember…

Welcome to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge!  The theme for this week’s Challenge is Finding Peace.

“Last week Ann-Christine challenged us to address Alone Time. Many of our responses spoke to the contentment we find when we are alone – doing things like reading, gardening, walking, etc. So this week, let’s take Ann-Christine’s challenge one step further, and address the ways we’ve learned to Find Peace in today’s ever-more busy world. ”

These days, I find peace in blurry trees….

Welcome to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge!  The theme for this week’s Challenge is Bringing softness..

“For this weeks’ challenge, show us how you soften your images. You don’t have to stick to flowers, landscapes and architecture are also ideal subjects. By lowering the clarity and creating softness in those areas frames the subject in an image, be it a tree, path, bridge, even a door or house or just a dreamy looking image. ”

Welcome to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge!  The theme for this week’s Challenge is Shadows and Reflections in Monochrome.

“This week, we’re challenging you to show us photos with reflections and/or shadows captured or processed in monochrome. Use your favorite post-processing software like Photoshop or Lightroom. Feel free to process your image in different shades of blue, green, brown, or gray. You can also shoot your image in a setting that’s predominantly one color–like a blue sea and sky, for example. Be sure to include a link to this post and use the Lens-Artists tag. ”

Welcome to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge!  The theme for this week’s Challenge is What’s your photographic groove?.

“What’s your photo groove? What gives you that sense of accomplishment? Of joy? Of completion? Your challenge this week is to show and tell us about what type of photography you enjoy the most. I used my choice of lenses to find my grove. You may have a different way. If you don’t have a favorite, that’s okay. Show us your wonderful images and tell us about them. Who knows, doing this exercise may help you realize your photo groove.”

These give you a sense of what I am going through right now…
