Camouflage is the challenge of the week.  I couldn't come up with anything except asking Dennis to put on a camo shirt and sit in the grass.  Over like a lead balloon.  So this is a hay bale camouflaged to keep the cattle from eating it. 

Wide Angle was the challenge this week.  No ocean view, mountain views and the flint hills haven't turned yet.  So this is the wide angle view in our town.
 

 This week's challenge was Sting's "Fields of Gold".  I decided to go a different direction from everyone else who did yellow or gold fields.  Matthew Fall helped me with a field of gold aka corn.  And the money that this field is producing (gold).  He let me ride with him while he harvested two fields.  It was really soooo much fun (for me).  Probably not so much for Matthew as he had to answer 1,000 questions. 

 This week's challenge was Pep Ventosa.  A technique of walking around the subject and taking multiple pictures.  Then in PhotoShop, they are reduced in opacity and  stacked on top of each other.  I really don't know the reason for this but I did learn a lot from Patty Low, who I met at the Photo Summit, on this technique.  

Wabi sabi was the challenge this week.  Beauty in imperfection.  I fell down a bluff with my camera and damaged my lens.  So I had to do this photo with my cell phone.   I liked the lacy sections on the leaf where there was damage and the missing petal on the sunflower. 
 

The challenge this week was abandoned.  This is the downtown area of Michigan Valley, Ks.  These are the bank and grocery store.  What stories they could tell. 

 This week was props and photo shop practice to create a imaginary fantasy.  I really don't like doing this, but it was good practice.  It is a foggy morning this week and I superimposed a Halloween  decoration over it.
