Round Robin Challenge: Shades of Grey

Hi, Robins! I am having severe computer connectivity problems, so if this entry is not just late but also lacking the usual details, I hope you'll understand! I'll fix it up when I can. Meanwhile, let's get the next Challenge announced, shall we? The topic for Saturday, September 10th is

Shades of Grey

Or Gray, if you prefer that spelling.

Either way, let's see what your camera can find in shades of gray. It can be something that's naturally grey, or you can show us a photo in grayscale instead of color. Show me gray paint, grey stone, paper, clouds, athletic shoes, metals... well, you get the idea! I'm especially looking to see more than one shade of gray in the picture. Hence the topic title!

Please RSVP in the comments below, thus:

I'll post only shades of gray!

Let me know if you're a new participant, or an established one using a new blog.

Post your entry on September 10th (no earlier, please!), and link back here in your post.

Please, folks, don''t just add the Round Robin name to an old entry, or post without letting us know about it! I watch the sidebar for your entries, but if I don't know it's coming I may miss it!

That's it for now, I hope! Go be photographers!

Round Robin Challenge: The Great Outdoors

Hi, Robins! The last few Round Robin Photo Challenges have been indoor pursuits, so let's go outside for the next one. The Challenge for Saturday, August 27th is

The Great Outdoors

What do you think of when you hear the words, "The Great Outdoors"? What does that phrase mean to you? What kind of outdoors appeals to you? Is it someplace with a big sky and mountains all around, or a park with a little bridge and some ducks? Is it a road you drive on for hours, passing woods and fields and farms, or a path you hike up to a small seasonal waterfall? Maybe it's a backyard with playing children and a swimming pool, or a ballpark where kids are allowed to run the bases after the game. Whatever it means to you, let's see it!

You know the drill:

1. Please RSVP in the comments below, with name, blog name and blog URL.
2. Please WAIT until the Challenge date, Saturday, August 27th, to post your entry.
3. Please LINK back to this blog so people know to look at the other Robins' entries.
4. Please DON'T FORGET to post!

That's it! Go be photographers!

Round Robin Challenge: On the Ceiling

Hi, Robins!

For our next Challenge, let's turn a word that was all over the news (in a bad way) into a fun photographic subject! The topic for Saturday, August 13th is

On the Ceiling

Let's face it. some ceilings are boring. But some are well worth a look. Show us an interesting ceiling: a vaulted ceiling, one with exposed wood beams, or even a popcorn ceiling with an intriguing water stain. Maybe it's a ceiling from which hangs an awesome chandelier, or a ceiling covered with mirror tiles, or a ceiling with a cat peeking through. Whatever it is, if it's interesting, I want to see it!

You know the drill:

1. RSVP in the comments below, thus:

I'm all over this topic!

Fred

http://thatsentertainment.blogspot.com

It helps me a lot if you list your name, blog name and URL as above. Thanks!

2. WAIT for the Challenge date, Saturday, August 13th, to post your entry. Otherwise, your entry is likely to be buried by the time others come looking for it. Yes, you can be a day or two late, but if you are you'll probably have fewer people visiting your entry. No, I'm not worried if you post a few hours early, or in a time zone where it gets to be Saturday sooner than in Arizona where I am.

3. LINK to this blog in your entry, or even this specific post. That way, people can find the other entries, and info on how to join in the fun. If you want to also list the other Robins' entries, that will be especially awesome, I will be posting the Linking List in this entry at about midnight MST as the Challenge begins. Please don't take an entry you already posted and add a Round Robin tag. Show us something new!

4. VISIT the other Robins and, if so moved, leave a comment. We all like to be appreciated, don't we?

5. Oh, and please POST YOUR OWN PHOTOS only.

That's it! Go be photographers!
