POTW 23rd - 29th August 2009

Esther has given us a beautiful pastel sky and reflection, Patti has taken a unique look at a piano and Sophie's given us a little bit of tranquility.

PWB hit day 300 today ;) woo hoo.

our lovely Ellie now only has 65 days left of her 365. wanted to send a special wish her way since she is hardly ever featured here on the blog...

... so if you haven't already... go pay her a visit!




*and apologies for being a bit mia on with the group and on the blog. summer has been a busy one... will be back on track in a couple weeks*

POTW 16th - 22nd August 2009

I've not been around Flickr as much as normal this past week so thank you for all the wonderful nominations. It was really hard to pick just three! Patti | dearmissdoll admired jellyfish from a safe distance, purplemattfish had a great start to his second year and markfieldingpic stunned us with Japanese mountains. Don't forget to visit their streams to see what else they've been up to.

- some of suz or sooze's favs -

been a long while since i have posted a couple favs. here are some from the past day. and as always.. lots more where these came from.. heaps of good stuff in the pool.

The Light Fantastic

Dawn or dusk, when the sun is low in the sky, is one of the best times to get out there and take photos. Here are just a handful of recent shots that make the most of the natural light.

a big huge congrats to Purplemattfish.

Yay.. We have another finisher in the group. Matthew finished up his 365 project yesterday. Woo hoo. And while he is still not sure if he is going to continue onto year two.. he is keeping his options open, and snapping away.

Below we have featured his final photo, two of his favs and admin's choice ;). But be sure to check out the slideshow or visit his stream to see the images from the entire year. Heaps of creativity in there and he did some amazing work with lighting... which he was always willing to share. Many of his 365 shots feature a "set up" shot. Please be sure to go have a peak.

POTW 9th - 15th August 2009

Some more fantastic shots this week, don't forget to nominate your favourites!

Congrats to Titus!!! Woo hoo.

Another member of our group finished up his project this week. Yay. Lets all send a big congrats to TDW!

We have featured his favorite from his 365, his final shot of this year's 365, one of his shots that made it to the San Diego County Fair and an admin fav. But guess what? ... he will be continuing right on into year 2. Craziness I say! With some new lighting equipment, he is excited to focus on more portraits... something he grew to enjoy during his project this year.

Congrats again!

check out his whole 365 project here...

a big congrats to Socceraholic !

Last year on August 12th (his birthday!), Abdulrahman started his 365 project. He finished up the other day. Yay! During this past year he was traveling quite a bit, so in his stream you can find lots of beautiful landscapes taken during those times. He also has some amazing b&w portraits and details of the everyday.

Below we have featured the photo from his last day, his favorite, his girlfriend's fav & a fav of the admin. As always was hard to choose. And since he missed a few days during this past year.. he just might continue through the end of the year.. but he also has some other photographic projects in store.
Congrats again!

Shape and Form

One of the things that contributes to a strong photo is shape and form... this photo jumped out at me today as a strong example of a strong image... it has a moodiness to it that is frankly quite stunning and beyond that - the structures work really well to grab your eye! Well done aSilva!!! :)

Life has been crazy around these parts lately, so apologies for absence of posts on my part...

POTW - 2nd - 8th August 2009

Where does the time go? Red All Over built a bonfire in the forest, eeicenbice found two young doves and Lily_S captured a beautiful sunset.

~ pwb's recent faves ~

Does anyone out there have zero life and therefore able to be a daily blogger?! It seems nearly a week has past without posts and everyone's busy enjoying summer (or winter if you're Al). Anyway, just a few faves from the group to keep you going...

POTW 26th July - 1st August 2009

Another week and this time they're my choices (if you don't like, make sure you nominate next week). ĦŁκâLϊЛ℮ /\/\öǙşЄ risked life and limb balancing on killer heels, ddiemont took a break (but still stopped by to post a gorgeous macro) and obsessive compulsive photographer found a fountain on fire.

Congrats to Shutterbug Cel!

We had another finisher yesterday, Shutterbug Cel reached day 365 with a balloony end. Visit her final shot for her views on the project. Below are her first shot, last shot, her favourite and an admin choice plus a slideshow of the whole year.
