april photo challenge

Here is my April installment of the Project MCP photo challenge.

Challenge #1-Illustrate the following in a photo: Showers/Wet

This one really was a challenge because during the week I was supposed to be shooting showers/wet, the only weather we had was brilliant sunshine and fluffy snow.   Finally I resorted to walking around the house with a spray bottle misting stuff and taking photos.  The top leaf one turned out exactly like I wanted it to and was even featured in the April challenge #1 highlights!  The bottom one was actually shot in color but turned out looking black and white which I thought was pretty cool.

Challenge #2-Take a picture using a shallow depth of field.

Not my best work ever, but I just love that I managed to capture Little Man's precious hands in action.

Challenge #3-Interpret the following in a photo: Blooming

Bloom. n.  A condition or time of vigor, freshness, and beauty; prime.  Once again, it was snowy out, so my creativity was stretched.

Challenge #4-Get low. Lie down on the ground and shoot above

I really did lie down on the staircase at our local college to capture this one.  I love how the lines and focus turned out.
