Round Robin: Before and After

Hi Robins! This next Challenge was suggested by Vicki of Maraca. The topic for Saturday, December 4th is

Before and After

Simple, right? Vicki explains, sensibly,
Anything "before" and, well, "after." You pick what.

What will you photograph? Holiday food, before and after it's prepared (or eaten)? A tree, before and after the leaves start to fall? Some project, before and after it's completed? A room, before and after it's cleaned or renovated, or before and after the kids make a mess of it? Whatever it is, we'll be glad to see it!

Here, as usual, are the guidelines for playing along:

1. DO RSVP in the comments below, if at all possible BEFORE the Challenge date. In fact, five minutes from now would be the perfect time to let us know you plan to participate. There is no need to wait until after you've posted to tell us about it.

2. DO include your name, blog name, and blog URL in the RSVP, thus:
On the Challenge date, we're gonna let it all hang down!

3. DO tell me if it's your first time, or if there's any change from last time, such as a new blog name.

4. DO NOT post until the Challenge date, Saturday, November 20. Most blogging platforms will let you schedule an entry ahead of time if you expect to be busy on the day. But if you don't get to it on Saturday, it's not too late! Sunday or Monday is fine. The Challenge is open for six days to accommodate stragglers, although you're less likely to get visitors to your blog after the first day.

4. DO mention the Challenge in your entry, and link back here so people can enjoy the work of other Robins as well!

That's it! Go be photographers. We'll see you on the 4th!

Round Robin Challenge: Colorblind

magc05567

Hi Robins! This next Challenge was suggested by Nancy of Nancy Luvs Pix, three years ago this month. The topic for Saturday, November 20th is

Colorblind

Nancy described the concept this way:
Basically, take a photo of something, change the color...make it interesting!

Most photo editing software has controls for modifying colors. If you don't have Photoshop or something similar, you can use any of a number of online photo editors. For example, I just found one called LunaPic, which has several really interesting color effects. Don't be afraid to experiment!

Here, as usual, are the guidelines for playing along:

1. DO RSVP in the comments below, if at all possible BEFORE the Challenge date. In fact, five minutes from now would be the perfect time to let us know you plan to participate. There is no need to wait until after you've posted to tell us about it.

2. DO include your name, blog name, and blog URL in the RSVP, thus:

I'm tickled pink to be playing!

3. DO tell me if it's your first time, or if there's any change from last time, such as a new blog name.

4. DO NOT post until the Challenge date, Saturday, November 20. Most blogging platforms will let you schedule an entry ahead of time if you expect to be busy on the day. But if you don't get to it on Saturday, it's not too late! Sunday or Monday is fine. The Challenge is open for six days to accommodate stragglers, although you're less likely to get visitors to your blog after the first day.

4. DO mention the Challenge in your entry, and link back here so people can enjoy the work of other Robins as well!

That's it! Go be photographers, and then edit your photo in whatever wild colors that take your fancy. Show us green horses and purple cats, orange skies and deep red oceans, or anything else you care to create from your photos. We'll see you on the 20th with your off-color creations!
