Our photo club held its first virtual Shoot Out today. Since we can't physically get together for them right now we chose a date (today) and then picked our own starting point from which we would take 10 to 20 steps. Once we stopped we stopped, we could choose anything as our subject. We'll be uploading the pictures to a drop box and then they will be published in our newsletter next month. So far a handful of photographers have turned pictures in. I'm hoping it will be a success. It's hard for people to switch from a public group like our photo club to on-line activities. But we may have to do this until the Fall so it's time to get used to it! I took 10 steps from my back door to the edge of my deck for this shot. I also took an indoor shot which I'll show you tomorrow.
I like your DoF. Our photo club started a page on Facebook and one member is setting a theme for each week. We post photos to the site. So far, not a lot of the members are participating. I like this theme and might suggest it to the guy who is setting the themes.
wow. that's a pretty fabulous view you've got from you deck! so enjoyed your cheering narrative - one of the few joys of this situation is hearing how people have adapted to trying to continue the parts of their lives that are important to them
really lovely. the out of focus trees and colours in the back are so attractive and the focus you have achieved on those wet branches is a wonderful contrast.
Wow! Thank you, thank you, thank you! One and all- I truly appreciate your response to this photo. I've grown so accustomed to this view that sometimes I forget its beauty- even on a damp,misty gray morning.
@randystreat I actually got the idea for this from 365. It's a merger of two challenges- the world wide photo minute (but instead of a specific time on the 18th I just set it for the date so that more members would participate) and "From where I stand" which directs people to take 40 steps from their front door and take a shot. Since many are trying to comply with the quarantine rules, I modified the number of steps to 10 to 20 (thinking that some folks would prefer to take shots indoors) and told people to make their starting point indoors or out in their yard. It may take a while but I think you facebook page will grow in time. Our club has one too- but it's not limited to members. There are all kinds of photographers looking at the pictures there and posting them.

Thank you Louise and Felicity!
