Explored!

TSC: Oxymoron Sign in a local convenience store parking lot.

TSC: oxymoron

TSC: Open

TSC: cut fruit

TSC: car logos

TSC: Through the Looking Glass 'the Seventh Square is all forest — however, one of the Knights will show you the way — and in the Eighth Square we shall be Queens together, and it's all feasting and fun!'

TSC: previously-unused camera setting For this challenge I decided to play with in-camera multiple exposures. Five exposures of three HotWheels cars racing across the table.

TSC: abstract with red The Horseshoe Falls at Niagara Falls, as seen from Terrapin Point on the NY side. I slid the Temperature and Tint sliders all the way to the red end of the scale to start, then messed around with all the tone/presence/etc settings until it was nice and dark and creepy. :)

TSC: From the prop box I do a lot of tabletop work; anything that isn't nailed down (and some things that are) has been a prop at one time or another. (object IDs in the notes)

TSC: Shadows

Someone had a little too much fun with this newspaper box. :) My alternate forTSC: moods.

TSC: At the market A fruit cart near Times Square. (alternate in the notes) 100x in 2014: B&W (32/100)

TSC: favorite challenge collage One of my favorite challenges was b&w; one of the most challenging was scenes that evoke a mood. Chasing giant bubbles in the park on a nice summer day is pure joy. Or frustration, if you're trying to photograph the bubbles without all those other people getting in the way... ;)

TSC: Sunrise, Sunset From the archives. One of my favorite sunset spots in Tucson: Windy Point, halfway up Mount Lemmon, all the way out on the rocks. (crappy phone-pic of my setup in the notes. those kids climbed up to the top of the rock on the left, and there was a guy with a tripod up on the next rock over; but windy point was really living up to its name that day, and that was close enough to the edge for me. :D )

TSC: Ground Level Sitting on the ground, looking out over Devil's Canyon in Utah.

TSC: 1, 3, 5 100x in 2014: B&W (57/100)
