Photo Walking

My family thinks that I spend a lot of time on the computer. In the past between my work & this website it was probably true. Too much of a good thing is bad. So I’ve resolved to make some changes. Today I tried the concept of photo walking which I had first seen on Hummie’s blog. And she has a Facebook group too.

When I saw Thomas Hawk’s Principles & Guidelines for Photo Walking I wanted to share them with you. He has some great ideas & his photos are incredible.

Then today I saw a link to the America at Home project that I had read about. They have neat challenges that may inspire you or give you ideas for activities for your forum members. They have a list of Pro Photo Tips that are very helpful!

So would you like to see the results of my photo walk? It was a gorgeous fall day here in Minnesota. I took a book out to where my family was working/playing & enjoyed some time outside minus the computer! There is hope All of these were processed in ACDSee Pro 2.

This is my favorite photo of the afternoon & they don’t even know I took it! I like the shadows of the leaves on their backs.

  I love ladybugs! and this one sidetracked my reading.

My Canon S3IS totally rocks with macro! I love it! While watching the ladybug I noticed that she crawled up to the top of a leaf, then back down, on to another leaf. Back up to the top & down again. Is that representative of life?

  I used the shadows/highlights tool in ACDSee Pro 2 to lighten this photo. It’s maybe not the best photo, but the parts underneath the ladybug are pretty amazing. Do you like the photo or no?

  This is my husband’s deerstand. It is insulated with electricity & he’s adding on to it. Deer hunting is a cultural thing here in Minnesota. Guys spend hours in preparation in the fall in anticipation of a few days in November. The original was a bit at an angle, so I used ACDSee Pro 2 to straighten it.

Do you go photo walking?
