This week's challenge is timepieces.  My Lightroom has quit working and so this photo is only done with cropping and nothing else.  This is Dennis' reenactors pocket watch and eye glasses.  

 Multiple exposures was this week's challenge.  I learned that it can be done in the camera.  I chose a silhouette and took a new picture of a leafless tree.  Then turned it to B&W in Lightroom, 

 It's Alive was the challenge this week.  I sprouted a bean seed but like the lilac but better.  

 Pins and Needles.  First thought was pine needles, but the class has had a large number of those.  Then pin cushions, again a bunch.  So I guess I'm sitting on pins and needles as to when the balloon will pop.  

 Crystalized the icicles in photoshop.  Couldn't figure out how to get rid of the tiny lines that defined what crystalized and what didn't.  With temps at zero all week, these little icicles were the result of the only couple of hours of sun on the barn roof. 

 Obsessive/compulsive was the challenge.  A hard one for me since you can see I'm not that.  I didn't notice the diagonal lines on the mat were off center until I was uploading the photo.  

This week's challenge was chair.  At first Ricky wanted abstract and then changed it to any chair.  I put an old metal lawn chair in the yard and hoped for snow to make ridges to photograph across.  It didn't snow very much so this is what I was left with.  So the shot straight down was much more interesting.
