My photo-a-week photos

Here is a sampling of what I've been up to with my camera the past few weeks. In an effort to learn more about photography, I am taking one photo a week this year in coordination with a group of other women photographers I met online. Of course, to end up with one good photo a week you must take many photos. So this group has been good motivation to experiment with my camera every day.

Last week's subject was food. I must have been in a breakfasty mood last week because both my subjects were breakfast items:

Blueberry crepes.

Monday morning's breakfast.


The previous week was "metal". I ventured to the farm to look for metal and found lots of interesting shots:

Grain tanks.


Door to maternity.

the Ford

The old silo.

My first week our assignment was to take a self portrait. This was an interesting challenge. I didn't have success with my tripod - so I'm holding the camera at arm's length for the photos (which explains why they are so close up). This challenge ended up being a great way to introduce ourselves to the other photographers in the group.
