Daily photo challenge - week eight is complete - MOVEMENT

It's fair to say this week was a full on week.

At least all the madness and excitement

did provide a couple of "obvious" photo opportunities....

but some days I was so run off my feet that taking a photo was the last thing on my mind.

Last night I joined some of my fellow photogs for a night shoot. 

It was a ton of fun and gave me a good chance 

to try settings on my camera that I had never played with before.

(Thanks for the instruction Belinda!)

And sometimes the results were very satisfying!!

take my camera with me everywhere 

- I had to capture this moment on my cellphone.)

Daily photo challenge - week seven is complete - NATURE

This week's theme was nature. 

And to be honest I really struggled - largely because I felt I lacked 

the time and the mood to have fun with the theme.

Most evenings I brought the camera out as an 

after-thought at the end of  a hectic day, 

only to realise the light was quickly fading and I had very few options left.

In the end, I did manage to make it through with 

a nature-themed photo for every day of the week.......

Living in our very own piece of Laingholm 

paradise certainly did help!
