Thank you all! This is the second appearance of this plate this month. It goes to show how things change from color to b/w. It's the plate I used for the red of my rainbow.
@ellimae Thanks Ellen! @sarasdadandmom Thanks Terry! @bkbinthecity Thanks Brian! @beachradish Thanks Beachradish! @kimmistephens Thanks Kimmi! @salza Thanks Sally! @alia_801 Thanks Alia! I was noodling around with an idea yesterday- not sure about it. I don't know if you want to keep up the month divided into weeks format or go back to a daily format. Or a combo of the two like we did in August. Let me know which direction you're leaning in. @sabine Thanks Sabine! @sangwann Thanks Dione!
@potsbypam Thanks Pam! @bruni Thanks Bruni! @daisy Thanks Kathryn! @summerfield Thanks Vikki! You can still do something like this. Don't let my shot stop you.
@alia_801 I put out a challenge to @summerfield because she came up with a challenge for @myautofocuslife that was very clever. Let's see if she'll come up with an idea or two! The ball's in your court Vikki! @lyno Thanks Lyn- I'm always looking for ways to make the challenges easier- lol @prttblues Thanks Bev- oh, it's the red plate from the first day of the rainbow- it's the center and the rainbow shot was focused on the outer edge. It's a great shot to show how b/w can change the appearance of an object.
@olivetreeann - fine, i'm going to have migraine trying to think now. how about we celebrate the olympics? the olympic rings are in five colours: blue, yellow, black, green and red. there are 3 full weeks in august sandwiched by two five-day weeks. each week is assigned a colour, and we have to take photos with the assigned colour as the dominant colour of the photo. lame?
how about a diary-type challenge like we had in june, but food (of course!) figuring more during the week - at least three (hehehehe).
mondays - your breakfast
tuesdays - what you did in the morning or a representation of your morning
wednesdays - what you had for lunch
thursdays - what you did in the afternoon or something about what happened in your afternoon
fridays - selfless selfie (i kinda like that challenge)
saturdays - your dinner
sundays - church/family
for monday, wednesday or saturday, maybe give an alternative to food. what, i have no idea. something like that, maybe you and alia can refine it. i'm just the executioner, i just follow orders :-)
@summerfield They both sound fun- I like the Olympic idea or do you mean this as a combo challenge? @alia_801 Any suggestions Alia? One of the gals I was following was doing a "What's on your shelf?" theme this week, which I also liked and I had tentatively thought of What's on your shelf, What's in your closet, What's on the table (fits Vikki's food challenge well) and What are you wearing? But honestly, I'm not ultra excited about it! The fun thing about the Olympic challenge is that it gives us that striped view on the calendar again. Or we could blend all of them into one happy mish-mash!!
@olivetreeann - by the way, i didn't mean it as a combo challenge. either the olympic one, or the other. but if you can pull it off as a combo, that makes the challenge more challenging. but it might discourage some and they might not want to participate.
@olivetreeann - i didn't realize that the olympic games start tomorrow, and it runs until the 12th. if we do the olympic colours for a week, maybe make it on the 6th-12th, with gold and silver on the extra two days. what do you think?
@summerfield That could work. On my tentative draft I put the Olympic colors in on Aug. 6-12 and the "food" week for 13-19. I'll see if Alia has any ideas and slot one of mine around that. Looks like it's starting to take shape.
@summerfield@olivetreeann Ooh good ideas! I like the idea of an olympic colours week - it only comes around every 4 years so we should probably celebrate now!
Perhaps we could have an olympic sport themed week - or 5 days - we can take pics that somehow relate to different olympic activities (e.g. an arrow for archery, a horse for equestrian... that could make it into a bit of a guessing game too :))
@alia_801 I don't know if I'd be able to do a week of sports- I'm not near a lot of athletic stuff, but maybe I'll put it up front on the short week. Yeah, I'm game (lol) I'll put it up front. I'll post the challenge in a little bit.
@automaticslim Thanks Andy!
