Wait! WOT!! Just Say cheese - Please

Final prompt for the Dogwood Challenge is to take a self portrait that depicts how others see me.

Apart from being His wife, Their mum, Friend of (insert name) Sibling of @phil_sandford (and a couple more) Cousin, Aunt, Godparent, in-law to.......................etc etc.
Many people see me as a person behind a camera and I as I'm a lover of zoom bursting, the occasional star burst and bokeh- here's a photo of me with all three!! Also sneaking in a join in to 5+2 as I've enjoyed playing there this year too

I have loved doing the Dogwood Challenge and learnt so many new techniques and styles. I haven't missed a week but have been creative with my interpretations of the challenges occasionally. Thank you all for your support and kind comments on my Dogwood offerings. Maybe I'll do 52PoM on 2020 (but not 100 strangers Hazel!!)??
What a good and creative idea. Love this.

Well, how you got all that in one shot is beyond me! Clever, technical and creative
December 27th, 2019  
oh you nailed it!

That is a super result to finish the year - Congratulations on a great 52wc-2019!

wow that is a wonderful shot - carefully thought through and executed. love the light trails on your rings. fantastic achievement to do the whole dogwood challenge. maybe i should set myself that goal for 2020. i hope you do take on 52 pom as i would look forward to seeing what you come up with - i did it last year and though it did my head in at times, i learned a lot!

I really like this. I've been wanting to do zoom bursts, but will need to study up on them a bit, because I haven't been successful.
December 27th, 2019  
Cool shot.
December 27th, 2019

Most FABULOUS! Congrats on the Doggy year.

Greg shot with the bokeh and he star burst. Well done on completing the challenge

@joysabin @suesmith Thank you both!

@randystreat It is something I find fun to o Kathy. Set a longish shutter speed (this one was 3 seconds) and practice keeping camera still and spinning lens. Using a tripod is good for keeping camera stable (but I'm terrible at using those!) I think this was just one spin of the lens to zoom in. Have fun!!

Cool shot. Love it.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks. I think I'll try it now that the hustle and bustle have died down.
December 28th, 2019
