Round Robin Challenge: Railroads

Happy New Year Robins!

This challenge is now closed! Thank you for playing! :)

It's a brand spanking New Year, and it's time for a brand spanking new challenge to usher in 2008 with. So, what comes to mind when you think of the new year? Here's a hint... Woo Woo...that's right... our very first challenge of the year is "Railroads!" Trains take us here, trains take us there, and they are darn photogenic while doing so. Have you taken the "A" train lately? How about the subway? Do you have a nifty steam train in your favorite park or recreational area? How about a train of historical significance nearby? Even if the only train you connect with is Thomas The Tank Engine, it can be photographed for this challenge. Anything Railroad related counts!

When will we be playing this challenge? Glad you asked. This challenge will be played on Saturday, January 12th. As always you can post anytime during the 24 hours of that day, or if you need to be late, you can post up to one week late. If you know you will be posting late, you can always send us an email with the date you plan to post, and we will make a note next to your name on the Linking List.

Please remember to R.S.V.P in the following manner...

Example

It is very important that you remember to leave your information each time you sign up to play, even if you have played a challenge with us before. It is a big help when we prepare the Linking List if we have all of your complete information. :)

Gina, who authors the blog, "Gina's Space," submitted this challenge to us during our recent challenge pool round, so if you have a subject you would love for us to tackle, please feel free to send your ideas in. I want to especially encourage our newest Round Robins to participate, but even if you have been with us since day one, we look forward to your ideas, because we can't have all this fun without you.

So Robins, go grab your cameras, and go be photographers, and be sure to comeback here on Saturday, January 12th with your amazing photos. See you then!

-Carly :)

Round Robin Challenge: Going Going Gone!

This challenge is now closed. Thank you for playing! :)
Greetings Robins! Time for the last challenge of 2007!

This topic was suggested by Nancy, Nancyluvspics. I knew I wanted to use it for the last challenge of the year from the moment I saw it. A great statement to wind down the year with. Get ready, get set, because you are going to photograph...

"Going, Going, Gone!"

Now, don't fret if you can't think of a photo situation that sums up the entire passage of the year. Going, going, gone simply means a transition. My little example photo shows my cat leaping out of the frame. A sunset is a going photo too. A win, a milestone, an achievement photo. Enough of my musings on the topic, I know you'll find your own "Going, Going, Gone!" photo to share!

Do visit the rules of play if it's your first time playing or have sat out a few rounds.

Questions? Sing out in comments or give Carly, Karen or me a shout!

* Karen: mavarin[at]aol.com
* Carly: ondinemonet[at]aol.com
* Steven: steven.emmett[at]gmail.com

Go ahead and R.S.V.P. in comments. Follow my example. Now go be photographers and return on Saturday, December 29th to share your "going, going, gone" photos!

Round Robin Challenge: Black and White Landscape

Hello Robins

This Challenge Is Now Closed. Thank You For Playing.
Time for a new challenge to enjoy. :) Marie, author of the blog, "Photographs and Memories Too" submitted the challenge topic, "Black and White Landscape" during our recent challenge topic round-up, and I thought it sounded like a nifty idea. With the weather changing to rain and snow throughout the country, what better way to see the beauty in those cold days, then to get out with the camera and let the creative juices flow? You might even see a beautiful, picturesque scene out a window, and capture it, so don't feel like you have to go out into the rain and snow if you don't want to. :) Perhaps you took a lovely landscape photo last summer, that works as well, although a brand new photo taken by you is always enjoyable to see.

The date of the next challenge will be, Saturday, December 15th, and as always you can post your entry at any time that day, or if you need to post late, you can post up to one week after the challenge. If you know the date you will be posting, just drop us an email and we will be happy to place a little note next to your name on the Linking List, so that other's will know when to visit your entry. :) If you do plan to join us, please provide us with the following information...

Your Name
The Name Of Your Blog or Journal
The Full address of your Blog or Journal

Example...

Carly
Ellipsis
http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com

That's all there is to it. :) If you haven't played the challenges before, please click on the link on the sidebar to read the **Welcome Entry And Rules Of Play**. Now, go grab your cameras, and comeback here on Saturday, December 15th, ready to show off your creativeness in black and white. See you then!
