circles out of this world

the moon and mother earth. for the penultimate flash of red. it's unbelievable that january and february came and went just like that.

i am thinking of joining a camera club that meets near where i live. i joined their zoom meeting last thursday and they had a guest who showed a slide of his wonderful bird photography. and i checked out the other members' album and i'm totally intimidated. how could i have 12 years of photography experience and not have one photo that could compete! it's so intimidating. but mayhap i will try it for the year just so i can pick up some useful knowledge. wish me luck.

the moon is my own photo from years ago; the earth photo is also my own from a few months ago. (intrigued? 😜)

Love this image. You're a great photographer and artist and will learn some things and contribute a lot to the camera club.

Wonderful image fav

Your astronaut shot should impress any of them.

yeah Feb was stolen I'm convinced

Vikki have you been space travelling again. I am not sure why I thought of this!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EmI77ZBeJrQ&vidve=5727&autoplay=1

Oy!! Stop it!! ONLY compare yourself to the photographer you were 12 years ago, and only her! These others probably know and use the rules of competitive photography and let it stifle their imagination and creativity to get perfection. Give it a go Vikki, they can learn sooooo much from you and your humour.

Great composite you astronaut you!!!

Lol! I always knew you were out of this world. This also explains your fascination with aliens.

Fabulous photo, and of course you can compete. Everyone shows their best work. You have some amazing photos to share.

[Merrelyn]

Great composite Vikki. I can't believe that we've reached the end of February. As for the camera club - go for it and stop being so hard on yourself.

[Casablanca]

This is great fun. I can see a face in there......

[Pam]

You are an amazing photographer!!

[Fran Balsera]

Amazing photo!

[Helen Jane]

don't be intimidated - I bet few of them have your creativity. When I first joined 365 you were the photographer I was most in awe of. Believe in yourself and don't become a camera club conformist. I hope you enjoy it though.

[Kathy]

Cool image. Thursdays you say. It better not interfere with pig tossing. But I do think you shouldn't be intimidated. You have outstanding skills. They may be more outdoorsy and therefore go places you might not go by yourself. You might find that not only will you learn a lot, you will share your knowledge too.

[Mary Siegle]

Ditto to what everyone else said. You are an amazing, creative photographer. If you want to join the club, go for it! But I totally agree with Kathy @randystreat — I really hope it won’t be at the same time as Pigs! Catastrophe!

PS — the earth…hmm… marble? Bowling ball?
