52 Week Project - Week43 - October 25-31

[yellalablady]

Ohhhhhh, halloween week. This should be good.

[yellalablady]

WOW, this is some kind of record. It's Wednesday already and no one has posted to this thread. Not even a wisecrack. I'm hurt. lol

[yellalablady]

This is Buddy at the Roscoe Reading Program ice cream party. Buddy encourages the children to read. If they reach their goal, we have an ice cream party for them. This is one of the teachers daughter.

What a cute pic Monnie. Buddy looks so content. I'm trying to get my photo shot for this week, but I keep getting interrupted by one thing or another. ~~Peg

[Skippy]

Monnie I thought you wanted to see Halloween pictures. lol

Good capture. He is such a well behaved gentleman.

Skippy

[xjblue]

I'm too far behind for wisecracking, I should be picking a photo to post way back on Week 29 instead of posting this ;).

[yellalablady]

Halloween would be nice, Skippy. But, I'll take anything. Beggars can't be choosers. lol

[Skippy]

lol Monnie. I took some at the Halloween parade yesterday. There is another one on Fri. Was hoping to get some good spooks or some really creative costumes. Who wants leaves when it Halloween. lol

Skippy

[Skippy]

Jared get busy and just start from now catch up later. lol

Skippy

[yellalablady]

I agree, Jared.

[Sage]

Jared, just skip the past weeks and start again from now. We love to see your pics. You always take such nice mountain photos. :p ~~Peg

[xjblue]

I might be able to catch up quick if I ignore pp on all but the photos for this project for the next few days. I think you all have inspired me a little bit, I've even got a mountain shot in mind for this week Peg, thanks!

This is lovely, John. It looks like chilly weather.

[Skippy]

What a pretty place John. You have nice color there. Does look cold.

Skippy

[vandymcnew]

Lets get the spooktacular pics going here's what I got goin on....
My wife dressed up for an office party.http://www.photozo.com/album/data/9482/IMG_7058_edit_bleach_800x600.jpg

[byteme]

Thats really good Ryan - nice 'highkey' style of processing etc
hope you enjoy the party..............

[Sage]

John, that's a lovely scene. Very Monet/Manet-esque. Nice composition too.
Ryan, great job on the pp in this one. She looks spooky and her eyes are particularly creepy. ~~Peg

[Sage]

I shot these stained glass windows separately and then combined them in one large stained glass triptych. They are inside the mausoleum where my husband's mom is buried. ~~Peg

[yellalablady]

Very nice. I love stained glass.

[Skippy]

Peg those are pretty. Just got a new monitor today and not sure it is right. These look more like paintings than photos of glass.

I call this one Cutie and Beast. School there Halloween parade today. Inside because it was too wet out.

Jared, don't worry, you are not the only one who is behind, I think a lot of people are just very busy. I am so, so busy it is not true but am having exciting times with a personal project and learning new skills for other jobs. Like you, I always make sure I take a pic each week (which is the purpose of this thread after all) but usually at the last minute and then I don't find the time to upload it. Just been catching up on what everyone has been shooting over the last few weeks - great fun.

Monnie - that dog of yours certainly is special. Good shot of him and the little girl.

John - nice subtle colours, it almost looks like a painting. I agree about the cold, it looks freezing somehow.

Ryan - an excellent halloween shot and I like the high key effect.

Peg - beautiful! I too just love stained glass.

Skippy - Happy Halloween. The one on the left is just not scary at all though! In fact, he looks more scared of you!!

[Skippy]

Ryan think I skipped you sorry. That is good for Halloween. Hope you had a good time.

Polly glad you are catching up. Took a picture just for you several weeks ago and I don't think you saw it. lol Made it easy for that week though.

Skippy

[Polly1]

Oh Skippy, which week was that, I sometimes come onto here and whizz through and miss things. I am actually taking a little bit of time out this afternoon so I will try and catch up. Honestly, I thought that when you reached 60 you were meant to slow down a little but I am busier than ever!!

[Skippy]

It was tomato time...........Week 40. Was assuring you we had all kinds of canned tomatoes. lol

Skippy

[Polly1]

Here is my offering for this week.

This house is in the town of Lauria, near where I live. You can't see from this side, but on the other side of the house this is a painting of what you can see (well, more or less as you have to allow for artistic license of course).

I love it and have been meaning to photograph it for some time.

[Skippy]

What a cool paint job for a house. Bet you would like to meet the person who lives there. I would. It's almost as if they are trying to show you the view they are blocking. Nice Polly

Skippy

[yellalablady]

What a great painting. I would love to see the real thing on the other side of the house.

[mishlove]

Industrial Halloween.....or just another pumpkin on a roof.

[mishlove]

Monnie - Great clarity...good program...reading is a great pleasure, sad some do not.
John - Agree with Peg "Very Monet/Manet-esque"...love that genre.
Ryan - Absolutely awesome.
Peg - Nice compilation.
Skippy - Definitely the right title.
Polly - A nice find...cud be the doors already been painted black....was it red.

Now I have to go have some ice cream.....yr fault Monnie...and watch the 3rd game.

[Skippy]

Michael you should send this to Charlie Brown, he doesn't believe in the Great Pumpkin. lol

Skippy

[Sage]

Skippy, how cute. The little one on the left is so sweet. Very nice lighting on these.
Polly, what a fantastic house and a very creative-thinking owner. You captured it well.
Michael, where were you when you took this shot? That's one big pumpkin. ~~Peg

[sacstoy02gt]

ok, got Nolan to sit still for just a moment today. He's now mobile (crawling) and not far from walking. Can't keep track of him; he just takes off when you put him down.

http://www.photozo.com/album/data/9453/outsidenolie_2881.jpg

[yellalablady]

Skippy, nice costumes.
Isaac, Nolan is too adorable. Good luck getting pics for the next couple years. You'll really learn to shoot a moving target. lol

[Skippy]

What cutie Isaac and looks just like you. Moving targets are about all you'll have for a while.

Skippy

[mishlove]

Great photo Isaac.

[mishlove]

Michael, where were you when you took this shot? That's one big pumpkin. ~~Peg


On the roof our our office/warehouse....looking for the sun rise...to cloudy.

[mishlove]

Michael you should send this to Charlie Brown, he doesn't believe in the Great Pumpkin. lol

Skippy


I'll try go past and get a better view....and then send it....lol

[xjblue]

I finally got up early enough to catch sunrise, and there was a fresh blanket of snow on the mountain thanks to our change in weather pattern. But a fog bank kept me from the shot I was hoping for. So I had to settle for er uh I mean a really nice crop of just one exposure (with a few extra shutter releases or so :mrgreen:). Well if a triptych counts... hopefully you'll let it slide? Without the whole mountain it just isn't whole.

[xjblue]

Monnie - neat candid moment you captured with buddy
John - I love that scene, the reservoir looks great - composition and treatment
Ryan - your treatment of the subject really adds to the mood of her costume
Peg - Triptych looks great, nicely complementary. will have to try one some time
Skippy - interesting couple of spooks juxtaposed together there!
Polly - great subject you found of the mural, that is pretty cool that it shows the view beyond, thanks for sharing
Michael - too bad the weather prevented your sunrise, nice finding the seasonal theme out of the view from the roof though.
Isaac - what a pumpkin you got there, and those orange things behind him too, good seasonal memories you captured.

Feels good to be caught back up with this project and participating again, there isn't much time left :eek: Thanks for all the encouragement this week!

[Sage]

Isaac, Nolan is the cat's meow. What a sweetie!
Jared, love this shot. The light and the fog are wonderful. ~~Peg

[Skippy]

Jared it's lovely. :thumb: for getting caught up. Just think in a few weeks you'll have completed a whole year. Don't know about you, but I am trying to hang in there. It would be a shame to quit now. :-)

Skippy

[yellalablady]

Jared, what a great shot. I'll sure let it slide.

[Shorty]

Been a while since I posted one for the 52 week challenge.

[Skippy]

Oh wow a red lineback Tom. They are a little unusual. Nice find.

Skippy

[Shorty]

Is that a friend of yours Tom? :D Nice shot. ~~Peg

Skippy :theres a guy just down the road a few miles has a few of these, he has a couple with some really long horns but they were not being very cooperative with me and the camera. :)
