Week 28 was "proportion and emphasis".  I had trouble finding any one with Mary Janes.  The easy part was the boots.  Dennis has lots sitting around. 

This week's challenge was flowers with a macro lens.  I don't have one as many of the other students didn't either.  So adjustments in Light Room was also part of the lesson.  I tried a blowing dandelion.  In the process I learned that dandelions really don't blow apart unless they are ripe.  Blowing so hard to get it apart meant that it was bouncing around and blurry. 

Then went to a farm that sells sunflowers and fruit too get this picture.  Hard to decide whether to use this one and edit it off center or use one with a bee.  To Bee or not to Bee that was the problem.

The last week of the first session on the photo challenge.  Topic was "celebration".  I knew it was kind of cliche, but fireworks are still a great thing. 

This week was a "do over".  But instead of redoing a week we weren't please with, we were to redo a week we enjoyed.  It didn't rain all week so I could finally get a "Golden Hour".  This is a sunrise rather than a sunset.  Still Golden.

This week's challenge was supposed to be a street scene with people.  It was supposed to be candid not posed.  I went to Lawrence and got two guys carrying instruments agree to let me take their photos.  It was going to be great.  But I forgot to set the focus and none of the pictures were sharp.  I really am just a point and shoot kind of girl.  So I went back to the few people who are on the street in our little town. 

This week's challenge is elements, earth, wind, fire and water.  I had photographed this creek another time and it was very blue and sparkling.  But it seems that this time the trees had overgrown where I photographed.  So settled on this one because Dennis thought it showed the power of water. 

This week's photo challenge was titled "Stuck in Place".  You had to stay in one place for an hour and photograph around you within one step of the starting place.  The photos weren't hard but I spent over 2 hours trying to get them into photoshop.
