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.  

 This week was HDR, high dynamic range.  Three or five photos with one as selected by the camera and two over-exposed and two under-exposed.  Then merge them and hopefully get the best of the lights and the best of the darks.  I took lots of photos of barns, trees, etc.  Just happened to see this as I turned onto our road one evening.  Happy coincidence. 

 The challenge was "decay" but along with the decay we were supposed to show a timeline.  So I superimposed a calendar over the dead leaves.  However, it didn't show up well.  Lesson this week,  don't wait until 11 to work on your photo that has to be turned in by 12. 

 Week 40 was Mother Nature.  I liked the progression of the sumac from green to red with the fall coming in. 

 This week's challenge was a dreamscape with black and white.  So I took a color photo and turned it black and white, then layered it over a copy of the same photo in color that was blurred.
