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
Dancing on the Ceiling
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!

Round Robin Challenge: Hidden

Hi, Robins! This is one of mine, and it's a bit different. I hope you like it! The topic for Saturday, July 30th is

HIDDEN

What I'd like to see here is hiding places or things hidden, or both. Show us a secret compartment, a doormat where an extra key might be stashed, a puzzle box, a secret fort, a romantic hideaway, a locked diary, a locket, a drawer where you used to hide the candy until your husband or kids found it...well, you get the idea! Don't actually compromise your own security, though. For example, don't show us a doormat and then continue to hide your spare house key beneath it! A former hiding place is probably better than one currently in use.

You know how this works, right?

1. RSVP in the comments below, thus:

I'm ready to show what was hidden!

But it's not too late to join us. Show us what YOU'VE got hidden!

Round Robin Challenge: Something Old, Something New

Oops! Sorry, Robins! My mental schedule was thrown off by the holiday weekend.

The new Round Robin Photo Challenge was suggested by Ruth, the ScrabbleQueen, last August. The Challenge for Saturday, July 16th is

Something old, Something new

Ruth didn't specify any guidelines, but what I'd like to see is old and new versions of the same basic thing. Old and new shoes, furniture, cars, books, or anything else you can think of will do the trick. Adding something borrowed and something blue is totally optional!

You know how this works, right?

1. PLEASE RSVP in the comments below so we know you'll be participating, with your name or screen name, blog name, and blog URL, thus:

Amy
Life Beyond Leadworth
http://raggedydoctor.blogspot.com

2. WAIT until Saturday, July 14th to post your entry. A few hours early won't matter, time zones don't matter, but if you post a week early your entry is likely to be buried in your blog by the time we come looking for it! Similarly, if you're a day or two late I will still add you to the Linking List, but you're more likely to get visitors to your blog if you post on the day specified.

3. LINK back to this blog (the whole blog or this entry) from your Challenge entry, so people know how to find the other entries or participate themselves. Linking to the other Robins' blogs is encouraged but not required.

4. EXPLORE what the other Robins come up with, and leave a comment if so moved. That helps to keep us all motivated.

Got it? Good! Go be photographers!

Round Robin Challenge: Big

Hi, Robins! Our next topic is a simple idea. For Saturday, June 18th, show us something



BIG.

Size is relative, so you've got a large amount of leeway on this!  Maybe it's something larger than life, like a fifty food statue of a small bird. Maybe it's an extra large example of whatever it is: the biggest cat you've ever seen, a pumpkin big enough for Cinderella to ride in, or a 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Whatever you chose to photograph, the Challenge will be to impress the view with how BIG it looks in the picture!

You know the drill:

1. RSVP in the comments below, thus:

I've got big ideas for this!

2. Go be photographers!

3. Post your photos on Saturday, June 18th. If you're a day or two late, that's okay, but please don't post early, and please don't forget to post at all!

4. Include a link back here so people can see all the different entries.
