Project 24 #5...Shades of White

The photo I chose for Project 24 #5...Shades of White...

Project 24 #11. Ordinary Beauty

I haven't posted anything for my photo challenge in a while, so I figured now was probably a good time.

I've been trying to think of something for #5: Shades of White, but nothing is coming to me yet.

So I'm going out of order.   I hope you can forgive me. ;)

Project 24 #3. Mood or Emotion (The Happy Shoot)

For those of you who have been following my blog, I have been (slowly) trying to do Florabella's Project 24.

I've made it to challenge #3: mood or emotion!

At first, I was thinking I wanted to do a moody/sad picture, but my mom and sister talked me out of it. :p

So I volunteered Aubrey to model for me, and we set out to take happy pictures instead!

Although, I think they could probably pass as "mortified" pictures...

Poor Aubrey.   I kept telling her to "look happy" and even made her jump for me.   Let's just say she wasn't exactly happy about it.

But she was a good sport.   For the most part...

This is the one I've decided to use for the challenge.

This was the happiest she got for my photo shoot.   I think she was glaring at me and rolling her eyes for the rest of them...

(Click on the pictures to view them more clearly.)

I kind of like it. :)   Here are some of the other pictures I took that day...

So I'm pretty sure I'm going to hate myself for posting these.   I was trying to get Aubrey to jump and she would not do it, because there were cars driving by.  So my mom said she would jump with her to get her to do it.   And then they made me jump too.
Gotta say, I understood Aubrey's humiliation after they made me do it...
I love how my mom managed to not get one picture of us actually in the air, but she was able to capture me in the most awkward positions.
Not sure if she did that on purpose or not.
Good thing I made those pictures smaller...

Self Portrait & Project 24 #2.Simplicity

Good morning!

Just thought I'd share a couple of my recent pictures with you.

Sunday afternoon I was outside practicing photography and decided to try a self portrait.

I didn't have a tripod with me, but I was inspired by the lighting to take a sort of moody portrait.

Not sure how great it is, but I think something about it is kind of cool...

I think this is the picture I'm going to use for Project 24 challenge #2. Simplicity.

Sometimes the most simple things are the most complex.

Project 24...#1. Morning

So, a website I really like called Florabella is doing a photography challenge this year, and I wanted to join in the fun.   It's a "no timeline, no pressure, no failure" challenge.   I figured I had nothing to lose. :)

I want to really stretch myself creatively in my photography this year, so I thought this might be a good thing for me.

Here is the challenge:

Sounds pretty fun, huh?  

I don't know how many of these I will get done, but I want to do as many as possible.   

Here is my photo for #1. Morning.   

Not quite what I pictured, but it will have to do for now.

The best part of my morning...or day, for that matter.

Spending time with God before all the chaos of the day starts unfolding...

Kind of a fitting picture to post on a Sunday. :)

Speaking of which, I hope all of you had a great Sunday, hopefully spent in God's house.
