Round Robin: In My Room

Hi, Robins! I'm still on the road between Wilmington NC and Tucson, AZ, and posting from my phone or iPad is tricky at best. So let's just get on with announcing the next Challenge. The topic for Saturday, January 12th is



In My Room


Maybe it's literally your room, decorated just the way you like it, or possibly a bit messier than it should be. Maybe it's your classroom, your office, your favorite room at the local library, or your favorite room in the house. Maybe it's just your hotel room on that trip you took recently. Whatever it is, we want to see it!

The usual guidelines apply (repeated from memory this time):

1. Please RSVP in the comments below with your name and the name and URL of wherever you plan to post your entry.

2. Get out your camera and photograph anything you can reasonably call "my room," or dig up an existing photo you haven't already shared with us.

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, January 12th, post your entry. Be sure to include a link back here.

4. I will post a Linking List to the participating entries starting around midnight on the 12th. I strongly encourage you to visit everyone's entries, and comment if so moved.

My apologies for not being around much for this last Challenge. I had not realized that I would be without proper Internet access on the Challenge date. I'll be visiting everyone's entries when I get home, and will be at my computer and ready to go when the next Challenge date comes around. Until then, go be photographers!

Round Robin Photo Challenge: Goodbye 2012!

Hi, Robins! The next Challenge is the last one in 2012. The topic for Saturday, December 29, 2012 is


Goodbye 2012

It's been a significant year in the United States and in many other parts of the world, in good ways and bad. I want to see what 2012 has meant for you - photographically, of course! Show us important moments in your life from this past year, whether from the witnessing of major world events or that time you managed to take that really outstanding picture of a flower, or anything in between. It just needs to be from 2012, and something you photographed that matters to you personally. And if the reason isn't obvious, please tell us why that photograph is meaningful for you. 

Here's my usual reminder how all this works:

1. Grab your camera and photograph something related to your life in 2012 - or dig through your 2012 photos for something that represents this year for you.

2. RSVP in the comments below with your name and the name and URL of the place you plan to post your photo(s).

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, December 29th, post the results on any blog, social media site or online photo album. Don't forget to link back to here in your entry, so your readers can check out the other Robins' contributions.

4. Please visit the other Robins' entries, and comment if so moved. The list of entries will be posted at the bottom of this entry starting around midnight MST on the Challenge date, and updated through the day.

That's all there is to it! Have fun, and go be photographers!

Round Robin Challenge: On the Move

Hi, Robins!  The next Challenge isn't about what you photograph. It's about how you take the shot! The topic for Saturday, December 15th is



This is the opposite of setting up your tripod and composing your shot. Let's see photos taken on the fly. Maybe your subject is walking, running, driving, or flying by, and you have to be quick yourself to capture them in your lens. Maybe the scene is static, but you're driving by (or being driven) at 20, 50, even 70 miles an hour. Perhaps you're on a bicycle, or just out for a jog. You could even be looking down from an airplane or a hot air balloon, on a boat, or even a sled! Wherever you are, don't just stand there! Keep moving, and get the shot!

Here's my usual reminder how all this works:

1. Grab your camera and photograph something while you're on the move.

2. RSVP in the comments below with your name and the name and URL of the place you plan to post your photo(s).

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, December 15th, post the results on any blog, social media site or online photo album. Don't forget to link back to here in your entry, so your readers can check out the other Robins' contributions.

4. Please visit the other Robins' entries, and comment if so moved. The list of entries will be posted at the bottom of this entry starting around midnight MST on the Challenge date, and updated through the day.

That's all there is to it! Have fun, and go be photographers!

P.S. Try not to crash into anything. We don't want any accidents in pursuit of this Challenge! :)
