Round Robin Challenge: By The Numbers

Photo courtesy of Jill, of the blog, South Bay Soliloquy


Hello Robins :) NOW CLOSED!

Time for an all new challenge! Jill who authors the blog, South Bay Soliloquy, recently emailed me an idea... "By The Numbers" Here is how she explains it...

"How about something called "By the Numbers" as a topic? Anything showing numbers: signs, a child holding up fingers to show how old he is, a number on a shirt, house numbers, whatever..."

-Jill

Sounds good to me! Save the date, Saturday April 4th 2009!

As always, there are a few things to remember...

Please R.S.V.P if you plan to play, by leaving your information in the following manner...


Carly

http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com

We need your information each time you play. Your name, the name of your blog or journal and the full address. Please don't make us hunt you down.

Also

PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY EARLY. Please post on the day of the challenge, or if need be, for up to one week past the challenge date. If you need to make special arrangements, just drop us an email and we will make a note next to your name on the Linking List. Some platforms, such as Blogger, allow for scheduling your entry if you can't be around to post it on the day of the challenge. :)

OK, that's it. See you in 2 weeks, Saturday, April 4th 2009!

-Carly

Round Robin Challenge: The Old Place

Hi Robins! This next Challenge is one of my suggestions from a while back. I think it will be kind of interesting. The Challenge for Saturday, March 21st, is

The Old Place

THIS CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED!

Show us someplace that's been around a long time, preferably 50 years or more. It can be an interior or exterior or both. The spooky Victorian mansion on the corner is fair game, or the abandoned amusement park. Or go for someplace that's really been around a long time, such as Stonehenge, a canyon or a mountain range.

As usual, we ask you NOT to post your entry before the Challenge date. DO RSVP in comments below, thus:

I'll be in place!

Bob
This Old Blog
http://formerlypbs.blogspot.com

Please check our Welcome Entry and Rules of Play entry if you're new to the Robins, or rusty on the details. And as usual, you can email me, Carly or Steven with any questions.

That's it! Go be photographers! See you back here on Saturday, March 21st!

Round Robin Challenge: The Color Purple

Hello Robins :) NOW CLOSED!

For our next challenge, let's do something a little different, lets take on a color!


***************The Color Purple************** to be exact!

Vicki, who authors the blog, Maraca, submitted the idea in a recent suggestion roundup. Here is how she explains her idea...

"The Color Purple. You don't see it much, and it's hard to capture in a photo. You'll have to look around to find it, and you'll have to get your settings right. But it is the color of royalty and magic, so the possibilities could be worth the hunt."

-Vicki

Sounds like fun! Save the date... Saturday, March 7th 2009. As always, you can post your entry any time between the midnights of the day of the challenge, but please DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY EARLY! It's not fair to the other players, or the person who submitted the challenge, in this case, Vicki. If you have to post early for some reason, just drop us an email telling us so, and we will make a note next to your name on the day of the challenge. The Linking List is posted the day of the challenge, so if you do post early, we won't be able to link to you until that date, so try to wait... ok?

Also...

Please R.S.V.P for the challenge in the following format example...

Carly
Ellipsis
http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com

We need your full information EACH time you play. It is a big help to us when we compile the Linking List for the day of the challenge.

Ok, that's it. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. Steven, Karen and I are here to assist you in playing the challenges, so we welcome questions and suggestions. If you have and idea for an upcoming challenge, send it to us, and we will add it to the current suggestion pool. Who knows... your challenge might be chosen next!

Go be photographers. :)
See you on March 7th, for the challenge: THE COLOR PURPLE!

-Carly :)

Round Robin Challenge: Joy: What Makes Your Heart Happy?

Looking over the bumper crop of recent Round Robin topic suggestions from Steven's "Camera Resolutions" Challenge, I was struck today by the ideas of two Robins who were thinking very much along the same lines. The #2 suggestion of new Robin participant Kathy of Through the Viewfinder was as follows:
THIS CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED

Joy - whatever brings you joy, others showing joy

and Wammy of The Ellis Family Cincinnati wrote:

This shot makes my heart happy. I get a big smile of my face every time I look at it.... So the theme is 'what makes your heart happy?'

This theme of joy and happiness makes me happy! So here we go: the theme for our next Round Robin Photo Challenge on Saturday, February 7 is:

Joy: What Makes Your Heart Happy?

You can answer this question about yourself or a loved one, or anyone, really. Just show us a source of joy and/or its effect. Maybe it's someone or something that makes your heart happy. Or perhaps you'd rather show us someone whose joy is evident in the photo. We'll be happy to see either or both!

But first, a quick refresher on how all this works, for those of you who may be new or may not have played along recently:

• Please RSVP in the comments with your name (or screen name), blog name, and blog address, thus:

Yes, I'll be happy to play!

Jeremiah
Bullfrogs and Wine
http://joytotheworld.blogspot.com

• Please post your entry no sooner than Saturday, February 7th, any time from midnight to midnight. If you know you can't get to your blog on the day, that's okay, too. Your blogging service may let you upload it ahead of time and schedule it to post that Saturday. Or, if you're running late, you can still post your entry up to six days later if necessary. Just be sure that if you do RSVP, you follow through and post within that time frame.

• Please link back to this blog in your entry, so that people know where to come for info if they want to play along. If you like, you can even post the whole Linking List, which we add to this entry around midnight and update several times on the day of the Challenge. But at minimum, please post the main Round Robin link, or direct people to that same link on your sidebar.
  

Got it? Good! Now go be photographers!

Karen

Round Robin Challenge: Not Of This Season

Hi Robins :) THIS CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED! THANKS FOR PLAYING :)

Thanks so much for the awesome ideas you all submitted in our last challenge, "Camera Resolutions." We have some fabulous ideas to work with this year! You guys always come up with the best ideas for our photography challenges. You're the best! Now, on to the challenge...

"Not Of This Season"

It's going to be an unseasonably warm week coming up, for those of us living in the Bay Area, so it inspired me to come up with this idea. Post a photo of something you wouldn't see, or which would be very difficult to find during winter. A sunny day at the beach, an amazing sunset, summer fruits, a beautiful flower in bloom, someone wearing shorts or summer clothes, a tree filled with beautiful leaves, a pumpkin on a porch, you get the idea. It is ok to post a photo from your archive for this one, but it would be really nice if it hasn't been displayed before. :) If you can find something between now and the date of the challenge, that would be preferred. But as I said, archived photos are fine too.

The date of the challenge will be Saturday, January 24th!

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

Your Name
Your Blog or Journal's Title
The Full URL of your Blog or Journal

Example...

Carly
Ellipsis
http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com

It is extremely helpful to us to have all your information each time you play. We use it to compile the Linking List that we post with each challenge, so please try to observe this rule.

Ok, that's it. That's all you need to know. If you have any questions, feel free to contact either Karen, Steven or myself, our email addresses are on the sidebar, and we will try to answer you promptly. We will see you back here in a little less then 2 weeks! Saturday, January 24th 2009!
