Mel's Contribution

I was down at my sister-in-laws house and I forgot my camera!! She showed me her wildflowers growing and then sent me a few of her pictures to share. I am going to be back down there next week and hopefully they are still in bloom and I remember my camera! I LOVE this top picture. Perfection. Good Job Mel!

Alterations

Just doing a few alterations to keep it interesting. I still like my pictures better when they are just as is and not altered, but it was fun.

Flowers, Yup.

Here's the first installment of my pictures. As you can guess. They are mostly flowers.

I love all the hanging things (seeds?) from these flowers.

This is a flower I found up in the Uinta's when we were camping.

Flower, Leaf, Plant, Tree...

I was trying to think of something with a wide range, but was a new subject.

So, the assignment this week is to take some pictures of nature. Flowers, plants, gardens, trees, leaves.... You name it. Kind of broad, but I'm interested in what we may get.

Before Picture

Suzy... Just thought I'd show you. This is the original picture I took. I then went into photoshop and got 2 and 3 from it. There you go.

Slacker

Ok so I am a huge slacker! Not only has it taken me FOREVER to post this assignment... These pictures were actually taken way back in June. I am a slacker! But I did do some recent editing... Does that count??

I can't sleep!

Well these aren't motion per say, but I can't seem to fall asleep so I logged into our blog and decided to post these pictures. I think they are cool!

The Last of the Motion

While up in the Uinta's camping the past few days, I took some more shots of water in motion. This one is a close up of some of the waterfall.

The next 2 are the same shot, but one is with normal shutter speed and one is sped up a ton.

This one is the normal one.
