Round Robin Challege: On Location

Hi Robins :)

It's been a lot of fun hosting the Round Robin Challenges after all this time, but it's time to pass the project back to Karen! So, since this is my last outing with you, let's have a little fun outside with the cameras, shall we? Take me on a tour! This time around I want to see some FAMOUS SIGHTS!




Save The Date: Saturday, June 1st 2013
Subject: ON LOCATION

See those houses in the picture above? You might recognize them, but then again, you might not! I will share all about them in my Round Robin post, but if you do recognize them you probably know them from different TV shows and movies. And that is exactly what I would like to see from you! Has a famous movie or TV show been filmed in your town? Show us that famous LOCATION! Maybe there isn't anything like that where you live, so use your imagination and show us where you think a LOCATION producer should highlight in a film or show! Maybe you live in a big city, but it hasn't been featured as such, no worries, show us the most famous, or most photogenic building in town! Everyone, everywhere, can participate, simply put on your creative hats, grab your cameras, and GO BE LOCATION PHOTOGRAPHERS! Show us your ON LOCATION photography!

Save The Date: Saturday June 1st, 2013!

As always, there are some guidelines to follow...

1. Please post your blog entry for the challenge only on the challenge date! In this case, June 1st! It's not a race, and I will not be visiting your post prior to the challenge date, so please DO NOT POST EARLY!

2. If you will be joining us, please leave your information in the comment thread for this challenge in the following manner...

Your Name
The Name Of Your Blog
The Address Of Your Blog

We need your full information each time you join us!

3. Please include a link back to this challenge post, so your readers can play along! The more the merrier!

4. I will be posting a participation list at or around midnight (Eastern Time) on June 1st. If you will be joining us, please R.S.V.P no later than midnight, so I can include you on the list. If you decide to participate on the day of the challenge, no worries, just leave your information as usual and I will update the list as soon as I can.

*Please be sure to let me know if this is the first time you are participating, so I can give you a proper welcome on the day of the challenge!

*It's not mandatory that you visit the other Robins, but the spirit of the challenges is to meet new folks who share our fondness for photography, and it's good to encourage others in their creativity!

Round Robin Challenge: Before And After

Hello Robins :)



Tell ya what... lets do something a little different... shall we?





Save The Date: Saturday, May 18th, 2013
The Subject: BEFORE AND AFTER


Please show us anything BEFORE AND AFTER. Above I chose to show you my cat Dylan as a kitten and then as an adult cat, but the possibilities are endless! You can show us the BEFORE shot of an apple and the AFTER shot of the core. Perhaps you have had a dramatic weight-loss recently, please feel free to share your BEFORE AND AFTER with us! How about the BEFORE photo of a dirty car, and the AFTER picture of a shiny clean car! You get the idea! It is fine to reach into your archives for the BEFORE shot, but please make the AFTER shot a new photo!

Save The Date: Saturday May 18th, 2013!

Round Robin Challenge: Gardens

Hello Robins :)

It's time for an all new challenge!

Save The Date: Saturday, May 4th, 2013
Subject: GARDENS




Robins, grab your cameras, and show me some spring GARDENS! It can be your GARDEN. A church GARDEN. An amazing GARDEN in your favorite park. It can be a GARDEN of vegetables. A GARDEN of flowers. A community GARDEN. A butterfly GARDEN where there are flowers, but the main focus of the GARDEN isn't flowers, it's the butterflies! One of my favorite GARDENS ever was a shoe GARDEN! How about a Zen GARDEN? If you have created a place in your yard where you can go and relax, with or without flowers, a simple place of peace and comfort, then you might have the perfect Zen GARDEN, and that would be just perfect! If you can't find a GARDEN that strikes your fancy, perhaps this challenge might inspire you to start one! How about a birdhouse GARDEN? Or a GARDEN of pink flamingos? ;) On May 4th... it's all about the GARDENS!


As always, there are some guidelines to follow...

1. Please post your blog entry for the challenge only on the challenge date! In this case, May 4th, 2013! It's not a race, and I will not be visiting your post prior to the challenge date, so please DO NOT POST EARLY!

Round Robin Challenge: Theaters

Hi Robins :)


It's that time again, are you ready for a new challenge? Of course you are! :)


Save The Date: Saturday, April 20th, 2013
The Subject: THEATERS!

Please feel free to let your imagination out to play with this subject. If you have an historic THEATER in your town, show it to us! If you have a THEATER room in your home, we would love to see it! But you can also show us what you enjoy most at the THEATER, the seats, the snacks, the posters, the marquee. Do you have a famously haunted THEATER in your town? Show us! Anything related to THEATERS is fine, but if you decide to do any photography inside a THEATER, make sure you get permission first, and remember to put your camera away before the movie or play begins. One more idea for the challenge would be to photograph your local THEATER at different times of the day and night!


But first, here are some guidelines to keep in mind...


1. Please post your blog entry for the challenge only on the challenge date! In this case, April 20th! It's not a race, and I will not be visiting your post prior to the challenge date, so please DO NOT POST EARLY!

2. If you will be joining us, please leave your information in the comment thread for this challenge in the following manner...

Your Name
The Name Of Your Blog
The Address Of Your Blog

We need your full information each time you join us!

3. Please include a link back to this challenge post, so your readers can play along! The more the merrier!

4. I will be posting a participation list at or around midnight (Eastern Time) on April 20th, 2013. If you will be joining us, please R.S.V.P no later than midnight, so I can include you on the list. If you decide to participate on the day of the challenge, no worries, just leave your information as usual and I will update the list as soon as I can.

*Please be sure to let me know if this is the first time you are participating, so I can give you a proper welcome on the day of the challenge!

*It's not mandatory that you visit the other Robins, but the spirit of the challenges is to meet new folks who share our fondness for photography, and it's good to encourage others in their creativity!

Lights! Cameras! Action! See you at the THEATER! On April 20th, 2013!

~Carly :)

Hello Robins :)

It's time again for a new challenge!

Save The Date! Saturday, April 6th, 2013, and the subject is THREADS!

This time I want you to grab your cameras and show me the THREADS in your life! Are you hanging by a THREAD? Does your pet enjoy playing with stray THREADS on your sweaters? Do you have a THREAD collection? Do you find a needle and THREAD photogenically? Do you have a difficult time, like I do, THREADing a needle? Maybe you would like to throw open your closet door, or walk into your closet, and show us all the THREADS of your lives! It's all good, but if you really like the subject of this Round Robin Challenge, THREADS, don't forget to R.S.V.P. in the comment THREAD.

But first there are some challenge guidelines to remember...


1. Please post your blog entry for the challenge only on the challenge date! In this case, Saturday, April 6th, 2013! It's not a race, and I will not be visiting your post prior to the challenge date, so please DO NOT POST EARLY!

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!

Karen

Round Robin Challenge: By The Water

Hi Robins :) NOW CLOSED!

Save the date! Our next challenge will take place on Saturday, July 31st! What will our challenge be, you ask? Glad you asked. This time around the challenge will be "BY THE WATER." Sound good? Any interpretation is fine, as are archived photos, but you know, I love seeing you grab new shots. So, go out there and find some bottled WATER. A WATERing Hole. A Glass of WATER. WATER on the beach. It's all good. :)

But Carly, how do we play this challenge?

Glad you asked! Here are some general guidelines for how we play the Round Robin Challenges.

1. PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY PRIOR TO THE CHALLENGE DATE. In this case, the date would be Saturday, July 31st, 2010.

2. Please remember R.S.V.P. your intention to play by providing us with your full information each time you play, using the following format...

Your Name
The Name of your Blog
The full address of where your entry can be found

EXAMPLE

Carly
Ellipsis
http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com

3. It's a good idea to comeback here on the day of the challenge and let us know you have posted. It helps us out a lot and keeps things moving along smoothly.

4. If you are new to the challenges, please let us know so we can give you a proper welcome!

5. You can post your entry at any time after midnight on the day of the challenge, and for up to one week after we play, but posting on the day of the challenge guarantees you the most visitors.

If you have any questions on how to play, or how to leave us your intention to play, feel free to email us. You can find our contact information on the sidebar!

Okay, that's it. Go have fun. Go be photographers. See you back here on Saturday, July 31st!

Round Robin Challenge: Childhood Memories

Hello Robins :)

A quick note: IF YOU DON'T READ THE FULL ENTRY YOU MIGHT MISS AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED TO PLAY ALONG. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE FULL ENTRY!

Time for a new challenge! Save the date, Saturday February 13th 2010! And what will our challenge be? Glad you asked! It comes to us by way of our friend, and fellow blogger Monica, author of the blog, Shutterly Happy, and theme this time around will be:

"Childhood Memories."

Okay folks, get out your skates, and skate keys, your teddy bears, and your Matchbox cars and your imagination, of course, and take a giant step back in time to childhood. Simon says, share with us what you enjoyed in those carefree days so long ago. You are only limited by your imagination with this one, so why not let it out to play? Show us your Childhood Memories!

As always there are a few guidelines for participation...

1. DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY PRIOR TO THE CHALLENGE DATE! It's not a race folks. You don't get to be first, in fact, all it does is confuse things on the day of the challenge, and it makes me grouchy, so please don't do it... ok?

2. Please give us your R.S.V.P. no later then the evening before we play, so we can add you to the Linking List for the next day. We ask that you give us your information in the following manner...

Your Name
The Name Of Your Blog
The Complete Address Of Where We Can Find Your Blog

EXAMPLE

Carly
Ellipsis
http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com


Please don't make us come looking for you, ok? I can't make you follow the guidelines, but really folks, we have been playing the same way for over 5 years. Things get very busy on the day of the challenge, and Karen and I do our best to keep things updated in a timely manner, so please don't create additional work for us, ok?

3. If you are new to the challenges... WELCOME! Please sing out in the comments, so we can give you a proper welcome on the day of the challenge! We love new participants! It's also a good idea to read our Welcome Entry, which can be found on the sidebar.

4. You are not late for the challenge if you post after the Saturday date. You are welcome to post your entry anytime through the following Saturday. You will, however, have a better chance of having your entry be seen if you post on the day of the challenge. If you have to be late, let us know, and we will make a note next to your name on the Linking List, so folks know when to come looking.

5. After you post your entry, it's a good idea to comeback and let us know by leaving giving Karen and I a little nudge. Just say something like "Hey I have posted." It just makes things go faster.

Okie Doke that's it. If you have any questions, feel free to send us an email. Our contact information is available on the sidebar.

See you in a couple weeks!

-Carly

Round Robin Challenges: Shooting In Low Light (Indoors And Out)

Hi Robins :) NOW CLOSED!

If it's Sunday, it must be time for an all new challenge...

Save the date! Our next RRC will be held on Saturday, October 17th, and comes to us by way of our friend Terri, author of the blog, "Ways I See The World." She has suggested we take on "Shooting In Low Light, Inside And Out." Sounds pretty straight forward, grab your cameras and show us what you find in low light settings. I hope to see all of you, and maybe a few new faces as well. Here are a few things to keep in mind about how we play...

1. Please give us your R.S.V.P on or before the day of the challenge. It is especially helpful if you sign up no later then the night before, as that is when we compile the Linking List for you.

**R.S.V.P. in the following format...

1. Your First Name or Online Nickname
2. The name of you blog, journal or website
3. The full address of where your RRC entry can be found on the day of the challenge.

EXAMPLE

Carly
Ellipsis
http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com

**We need your complete information each time you play.

2. DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY PRIOR TO THE CHALLENGE DATE! It will do nothing but cause confusion on the day of the challenge. Besides, we don't post the Linking List until then, so please DON'T POST EARLY... ok? On the other hand, if you can't post on the day of the challenge, for whatever reason, just let us know and we will make a note of your intention to play on another day, next to your name on the Linking List so folks will be able to find your entry.

3. If you are new to the Round Robin Challenges, please read the Welcome Entry which can be found on the sidebar. It explains everything you need to know to play along. New folks are always enthusiastically welcome, so let us know if this is your first time playing so we can give you a proper welcome!

Ok, that's it, you know what to do. See you on Saturday, October 17th, 2009!

-Carly

By the way, if you enjoy playing the Round Robin Challenges, you might also enjoy our other memes...

Round Robin Challenge: "Other" Settings

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

Hi, Robins! The newest Round Robin Photo Challenges topic, for the Challenge date of Saturday, November 3rd, comes to us from Becky of the blog Where Life Takes You. It's all about "Other" settings on our cameras - you know, those functions we either haven't found yet or are a bit nervous about using. Becky introduces the concept this way:

Many of us fall into the category of "enthusiast" or "skilled amateur" when it comes to snapping pictures. We tend to rely on the automatic settings on our camera.

How about we stretch our photographic muscles and try some of those "other" settings on the camera? Ones we've never used before, particularly. It would be interesting to see what people come up with.

I have a panoramic setting and an "action" setting that takes a series of photos and I've NEVER tried them. There are others too. I'd love an excuse to try them.

I have to tell you, this topic really jumps up and calls my name, because 90% of my photos are taken with the dial of my camera set on the little green camera icon, meaning "automatic." I've tried a few things here and there, but there must be lots of functions on my Cybershot that I've never even found, let alone tried. How about you? Have you fully explored that camera of yours, or do you mostly just do what you know how to do? If the latter is the case, here is your chance - and mine - to stretch our skills a bit.

Now, some of the Robins are professional-quality photographers rather than "skilled amateurs," but even for you folks, I'm wondering how often you go beyond the comfort zone to try out everything your camera or cameras can do. Is there something you've been meaning to try out, or want to learn to do better? Here's your excuse to do it!

If you'd like to join in on this Challenge, you know how to go about it, right? Just RSVP in the comments with your name, blog name and URL, thus:

Yes, I'm keen to try an "other" setting. Maybe even color!

Then go be photographers, and get ready to post your results - and a link back here - on Saturday, November 3rd. You can post your entry up to six days after that if need be, but on the day is best, and please don't post your entry early. Got it? Good!

Now, one more thing while we're all here. I've just been perusing our Round Robin suggestion box, and it's getting a bit, you know, empty. The suggestions in it are all great, but we need more. Specifically, we need YOUR suggestions for future Round Robin topics. What theme would you like to try that we haven't done yet? Drop us a line and let us know!

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

We'll add your topic suggestions to the kitty, and use them for future challenges. If you'd like to include an introduction to the topic, that will be even better!

That's it, folks! See you soon with those brave photographic experiments!
