"In the Kitchen" was the challenge this week.  This is a cut-glass tumbler taken with the glass held and slightly over the lens.  I took it toward a stained glass window hanging but it didn't show up.  So turned the photo to black and white. 

 Step Repeat or Kaleidoscope was the challenge this week.  So it was mostly Photoshop work.  I used a photo I had got a few weeks ago and made my "shooting star aka sunflower".  

 I'm not a fan of this week's challenge technique, drive panning.  A accomplice drives the car while the photographer tried to pan with the passing objects.  It's supposed to keep the subject in semi focus and the background blurred.  It takes 100's of photos to get a good one.   Thanks goodness for digital so I could trash all the bad ones.

 Panorama was the lesson this week.   After taking pictures of several skies, Pomona Lake and an abandoned Dunkard church and cemetery, I decided the late fall colors were boring.  So the sky had my vote.  This is three pictures stitched together in photoshop.

 Halloween and technique experiment was this week's challenge.  I took a picture of Kevin in his 1936 Ford truck with a skeleton head.  Then used liquify which I didn't use in week 7.
