Lisa Poland gave me a couple of alternative get pushed challenges. The one I chose was "take a photo using a setting on your camera you haven't used or don't use much." I explored several things my camera can do, including in-camera editing. I took this photo as I sat on a bench part way down the hill as I walked home from visiting Mom. It's not great art, but was a chance to experiment a bit more with the "D-Lighting" feature that can be applied to a photo (already taken) that needs the exposure increased. It seems to be one set increment. This compares the D-Lighting with a similar adjustment I made on ribbet.com.

My apologies for not getting this to you yesterday...lunch with friends and their son and DIL visiting from NZ. So..at last, a suggestion for your GP challenge. Howzabout a still life which relates to what you value most or to what you aspire? Feel free to reject this...and will rethink the cocktail.
