The challenge this week was called Flat Lay, items arranged and then shot from above.  I "borrowed" the stones from the shop's neighbor.  I think this reminds me of those fossils that they cut in half and polish.   I guess now that the photo is done, I need to take the stones back to the neighbor's tree ring.  

 The challenge was long exposure. I tried limbs blowing in the wind but it was too windy.  I only ended up with a smear.  So tried night across the Pomona Dam.  The camera wouldn't work and went back to the house and then it worked.  Went north a mile and waited and waited for a car to come buy.  Finally Dennis drove down the road and turned around and drove past me so that I wouldn't freeze to death waiting for traffic.  Good sport. 

 The challenege this week is pick a word for the year and depict it in a photo.  I decided on Explore.  Explore new techniques and photo sites. 

 In looking at last week's, it looks like I only do sunrise and sunset photos.  This week's challenge was celestial.  I was going to try a night photo but with 45-55 mph winds, the tripod wouldn't hold still enough.  So I used the sunset photo I did earlier in the week.  

 The challenge this week was "silence".   This was just before sunrise one day this last week.  Dennis called on his way to work and said to look to the east.  I went out in jammies to take this one. 

 This week's challenge was self portrait.  With most of the week being cloudy and the drab winter colors, I chose this photo because it had a green tree and my red coat.  My Christmas colorway, haha.  

 Color wheel was the challenge.  I had primary triad.  A customer gave me permission to shot her blue car with the red stop light and yellow turn signal on.  Then twirled it in photo shop because it was pretty boring.
