CrazyCresties Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Peanuts compared to the number I took for the bird theme Snook :laugh: I've been very slack with this one and might have one or two that may fit the theme - I'm getting home a bit earlier today so was hoping for 30mins of good light outside at least - but now it's raining out there! I don't think this is going to be my best theme :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCresties Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 There's so much stuff that you can use for abstract when you've got a macro to play with. :) Yeah but it also requires imagination rather than just shooting what you see, and I kinda lack in that department :laugh: Slightly off topic, but I just wanted to share as I'm super excited - my OH has bought me the Sigma 50 - 500mm for my birthday and it should arrive tomorrow - woo hoo!! That's a super birthday pressie - Look forward to seeing some shots with it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Damn you're trying to make me work for this theme aren't you :laugh: Ok I'll give that a go tonight :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Seriously CC, since you've got a macro lens you've got it so much easier than everyone else. I wasn't going to post what I used for my photos until the blog but I'll post it now so that it might encourage you about what you can use around the house. I've used a metal grater, a rainbow coloured slinky and a mix of vegetable oil and windex in a clear bowl with coloured wrapping paper underneath the bowl. :laugh: There's still a good chance I may try a couple of other things before the blog goes up as I'm having so much fun with it so a couple of them might change but I'm in love with the slinky ones. There's so much stuff that you can use for abstract when you've got a macro to play with. :) ETA: I've shot all of mine inside the house so you definitely don't have to be outside to do it. My inititl idea was similar to 1 of yours Snook! I did water, oil and coloured paper under a glass bowl. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juddabug Whippets Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Ooooh exciting! I spent all day yesterday taking photos of 6wk old whippet puppies for a friend of mine.... They are too cute but not abstract... They are DE-stracting if anything :). Am editing my abstracts today.... Ooooh gapvic... That's very cool! I'd love to see what you think of it!

Clicking Mad Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 all done for me, just in the nick of time, a lot of rush-editing and wittling down of potentials :) Next time I think I need to get it finalised while still on RDOs really enjoyed seeing what everyone's come up with :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Phew just got mine up, but as I'm in WA I had hours left - well that's my excuse :laugh: Super shots everyone I think most peole have put in a lot more effort than me into this one Will try to comment later, if not tomorrow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 OK, I'm really sorry, Everyone, but I simply did not do this one. I really wanted to but have been fighting demons in a serious way for a few weeks now and just spent three days almost 100% in bed over the weekend feeling like crap. I'm not feeling fabulous today, either, so don't know if I'm finally over it or if I'm still sick. I know I am bored out of my mind, but thank gods for my Samsung tablet as I've been having a Walking Dead marathon that's helped keep me moderately sane :) Let's have Meagan pick Theme Six: please PM me with the details and I'll get a post up and add a note here (you can put a note in here, too, but I'll get a notification about the PM so can do the blog thing faster if you PM me, too).

Cougar Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Sorry to hear that kja - hope you kick those demons soon, nasty buggers they are. Have we lost a couple of people along the way? Sad if that's the case - I love looking at everyone's work :) Oh and Gapvic, your husband for the win, what a fantastic birthday present! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 .... thank gods for my Samsung tablet as I've been having a Walking Dead marathon that's helped keep me moderately sane .... Confirming here my PM to kja that I'd better officially be "dropped off" (but left as a 'guest contributor' for now and then). Getting out and getting shots - the camera keeps me sane - but otherwise too much hitting the fan and the wheels falling off (cliches like that). The work on the blog is just knock-out, don't know if I'm more impressed or envious (both, in a good way) at the time and thought and effort everyone has come up with for some amazing results.

Juddabug Whippets Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Okay... I just saw that I have next pick.... (I was just coming in to check what it was) I pick... Sport.... :) Kja will put up a post for due dates etc... But would figure due date is... 31st March/1st April? MnDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
