by the lake, take 4 - girlfriends by summerfield

by the lake, take 4 - girlfriends

i am a sucker for punishment, really. just to get a shot of the lake i had to brave the crappy weather. the rain had for a while stopped during my sojourn at the boardwalk so that made things a bit tolerable.

but when i got there...HORRORS!!!! i forgot my camera. i normally use my canon for my project. not a problem though as the little nikon is buried underneath my purse, if i could find the darn thing. when i found it, the next worry was maybe the battery's been exhausted because i haven't charged it since i left manila. aha! but luck's on my side yet again.

i had a hard time getting my exact mark from yesterday's shoot. and i thought i kind of made a boring choice for this same subject challenge when...ta-dah!... two women walked into my frame. that made it quite interesting. especially when the lady in white headband took out a videocam and the other started shooting with a smal p&s. it's probably for a project, or they're probably fellow 365ers, who knows? or they could be one of those environment activists; or they could be just plain tourists. in any case, they just made photo of the day with my same-subject-challenge.

sooc except for the name tag.
Perfect!! I'm thinking of doing this challenge just after Christmas and trying to think of what I'd like to shoot for 7 days straight!

Funny story! Can't wait to see what happens for the rest of them! Good job, V!

Fortune was on your side today. These two walkins provided a nice focal point to your photo.

So I totally didn't clue in that this was a challenge. How long are you doing this challenge for? I hope you get some different weather and different people/things to make it more interesting. I myself like the view of the lake each day! :)

Lucky girl! Caught it at the right moment. I went out and about looking for photos today and almost froze my "bottom" off! So cold, so windy, and so gray! Now I have some pics and am too doggone tired to upload and process. Have a nice night, summerfield. You caught the "candid of the day!"

@olivetreeann - whatever you do, don't choose a body scenery, unless there's a hurricane or a thermo nuclear explosion that's scheduled to happen, then the shot would be interesting :-) thank you, ann.

@slang - aha! i don't think i've made it yet to your album, sean. i should make a note. i thought i got everyone covered. but not to worry, i shall be there thermonuclear explosion or not. thank you, sean.

@pamfromcalgary - i was quite happy they did. thank you, pam.

@sanera - i'm doing the lake for a week. so after sunday, i will decide if i want to do a second week, but i have to find a subject (preferably not the lake) maybe a tree? thank you, sam.

@roth - you do, eh? i'm wishing a hippo or a crocodile would show up on the boardwalk while i'm taking a shot at the lake. that would be exciting (if i don't faint or run off in panic!). thank you, sue. stay tuned.

@karenann - miserable weather, too, in michigan, eh? i think our temps went up to 7 today. it wasn't so bad when i went home, just a tad windy. goodnight, karenann. see you tomorrow. and thank you.

@sarasdadandmom - with the wind it was quite chilly. thank you, terry.

@sunnygreenwood - thank you, anne. maybe i'll jump on the water. but wait, who will take the photo? lol! plus it would be very very cold.
December 16th, 2011  
this is cool -- same scene, third verse! Like the "friends" feel to it! Glad your little nikon came through for you!
December 16th, 2011  
@cscecil - thanks so much, CS!
December 16th, 2011  
so enjoyed your narrative. this challenge is really a challenge, eh? mmmnnnn, one is coming to mind. . .
December 16th, 2011  
@catsmeowb - you have a challenge to challenge me? come up with it, good friend. thank you, camille.
December 16th, 2011  
I say they are tourists. Who else would be out on such a cold day just to get a photo hahaha. Nice candid shot
December 16th, 2011  
@summerfield nooooo, not to challenge YOU! i wouldn't dream of it- LOL! your explanation gave me an idea about how to do this challenge of one subject for a week. as you say, one thing for a week can be difficult so it has to be chosen carefully - i believe i just might have a good subject. i will have to wait and see how it goes since i do not have it yet.
December 16th, 2011  
Lovely shot will catch up with all your other shots on tuesday
December 16th, 2011  
@bkbinthecity - yeah! must be tourists then! hahaha! thank you, brian.

@catsmeowb - oh, that's what you meant. i thought you meant you thought of a challenge that i could do.

@steeler - thank you, howard. enjoy your weekend.
