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! :)

Round Robin Challenge: Heads or Tails?

Hi, Robins!

For our next Challenge, you have a choice topics. Our Round Robin Photo Challenge for Saturday, December 1st is

Any heads or any tails will do! Show us doll heads or the tails on a tux, lettuce or the thing that stabilizes a kite, people in charge of a school or company or the obverse sides of coins, heads of nails or puppy dog tails. Any interpretation of either word works! Show us any heads or any tails you like - but let's not have heads AND tails in the same shot, please. I'd like to see a focus on one or more heads OR tails in any given image, but not both.

Here's my usual reminder how all this works:

You know how this works, right?

1. Grab your camera and photograph some heads, or tails, or both.

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 1st, 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: The White Stuff

Hi, Robins! The next Challenge is a definite contrast to the one we just had, in which we were operating in the dark. Let's bring lots of light into this one. The topic for Saturday, November 17th is

Snow. Fluffy clouds. Bankers' boxes. Cotton balls. Powdered sugar. Our world is full of white things. But how white are they, really, and do they read as white in a photograph? If white is all we see, the image disappears, like a cow eating grass in the old joke, like a polar bear in a blizzard. The challenge, then, is to photograph something that is as close to white as nature allows, and still have it be visually interesting.

You know how this works, right?

1. Grab your camera and photograph something white.

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, November 17th, 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: In the Dark

Hi, Robins! The next Challenge is a simple in concept, but pehaps a bit of a challenge technically. The topic for Saturday, November 3rd is

 In the Dark 

The moon by night. White surf on dark waters. Shadows in the hallway. People around a campfire. People, places and things can be quite dramatic in appearance as darkness closes in, but photographing them in low light conditions can be tricky, especially with a cheap or mediocre camera! But that's what I'm asking you to do. Photograph someone, someplace or something in low-light conditions, either indoors or outdoors. The actual subject matter is totally up to you, as long as whoever, wherever or whatever it is isn't well lit.

To play along, simply follow these guidelines:

1. Grab your camera and take one or more photographs in low-light conditions. Let's try to do these with no flash photography!

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, November 3rd, 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: Leaves

Hi, Robins! The next Challenge is a simple and straightforward one, inspired by the season (in parts of the northern hemisphere, anyway). The topic for Saturday, October 20th is

Leaves

Fall leaves. Leaves of a potted plant. Leaves of grass. Even leaves of a book, if you must. Green leaves, yellow ones, red ones, brown ones, or any other color you find. Big leaves or small, jagged or smooth. Just show us leaves! And if there happens to be a bird, beast or butterfly hiding among them, that's a bonus!

To play along, simply follow these guidelines:

1. Grab your camera and photograph any kind of leaves.

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, October 20th, 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!
