Round Robin Photo Challenge: Listen to This!

Hi, Robins! Believe it or not, this next Challenge was inspired by the advertising campaign for the 1974 John Lennon album Walls and Bridges. The topic for Saturday, August 10th, 2013 is

The Lennon ad campaign had ads on the sides of buses saying "Listen To This Bus," buttons that said, "Listen To This Button," posters that said, "Listen To this Poster" and so on. What I'd like you to do is photograph something that you really could listen to. It should be something that has a very distinctive sound, one that we can imagine by looking at your picture. It could be a jackhammer or a barking dog, for example, a babbling brook or a children's choir. Natural or technological, pleasant or unpleasant, loud or soft, it's all good, especially if it plays in our heads as we view your photos!

Here, as usual, are the guidelines:

1. Grab your camera and photograph something that makes a memorable sound.

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, Saturday, August 10th, 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: Someplace I've Never Been

Hi, Robins! For this next Challenge, let's do some exploring. The topic for Saturday, July 27th, 2013 is

1. 

   
   

   
   

   Someplace I've Never Been

Maybe you just happen to be leaving for some far-off land in the next two weeks, but that's not necessarily what I have in mind here. As I've discovered in my weekend drives with my Dad, there are lots of adventures to be had close to home. Get out there and find some - and bring your camera! Just head off somewhere you've never been - a back street a mile from home; a new restaurant downtown; a museum you've been meaning to visit; a store you've never had a reason to shop in; a little park in someone else's neighborhood; a tiny island off the coast; the town of Surprise, Arizona; Moola, NSW; Olympus Mons, Mars...well, you get the idea! It doesn't matter where it is, as long as the place is new to you, and you bring back a photo or two, or possibly more than two!

The usual guidelines apply:

As always, here's a reminder of our guidelines:

1. Grab your camera and go exploring! Bring us back one or more pictures of someplace you've never been before.

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, Saturday, July 27th, 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!

Hi, Robins! This next Challenge is inspired by the Arizona monsoon, which officially started two weeks ago. The topic for Saturday, July 13th, 2013 is

There are lots of ways to get wet, some of them more enjoyable than others. And it's not just humans that get wet. It could easily be a family pet, or even a household object. So show us someone or something getting wet. The what, when, where, why, how and who are up to you!

As always, here's a reminder of our guidelines:

1. Grab your camera or go through your files to bring us one or more pictures of someone or something getting wet.

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

Round Robin Challenge: Not Real

Hi, Robins! It's time (a few hours past time, actually) to announce the new Round Robin Challenge. I hope you'll like this one. It's a real chance to stretch our imaginations, and possibly our photo editing skills. The topic for Saturday, June 29th is

Not Real

Show us something that isn't real - an optical illusion, a fictional character on stage, fake pearls, a toy sailboat, a tofu hamburger...really, anything that looks like something that it isn't. Then tell us what it really is - and what it really isn't! For example, the dragon above isn't a real dragon (of course), and the background includes an artificial cave from a mountain lion habitat, as well as part of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. The fire is an edited version of a real fire on Mount Lemmon from the 1980s. Your not-real photo need not be that elaborate, but this sure was fun to put together! So let's see what unreal things you can photograph - or make it look like you've photographed them!

As always, here's a reminder of our guidelines:

1. Grab your camera or go through your files to bring us one or more pictures of something that is not real!

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, Saturday, June 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: Wild Thing

Hi, Robins! It's me, Karen, back hosting the RRPC after a much-needed break! I want to thank Carly once again for taking over the meme these past few months, and for her creative topics to keep us inspired!

This time out, let's go with a theme that gives us some interesting possibilities, some obvious, some less so. The topic for Saturday, June 15th is

Maybe it's a bird or a bobcat in your back yard. Maybe it's a pitcher who misses the strike zone. Maybe it's Charlie Sheen! Maybe it's the boy you're daughter is dating, or your hair when you wake up in the morning. Whatever it is, if it's wild, we want to see it!

You remember how this works, right?

1. Grab your camera or go through your files for one or more photographs of something wild!

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, Saturday, June 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!

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...

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!
