WORLDWIDE PHOTO WEEK: PART 189 - Windows or Glass

[joayne]

Every week we select a new theme, and then go out and shoot that theme. This week the theme is "WINDOWS or GLASS". As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for!


Here are the rules:

1. Shots need to be taken between sunrise Monday and sunset the following Sunday. Because this activity is supposed to encourage us to get out and shoot, please don't post old shots from your archives. Snap shots and art are equally welcome -- just get out & shoot, and then share!

2. Post your shots at any time during the week.

3. Post a maximum of two shots if you're uploading them to POTN (i.e., attaching them). You can post more than two if you're linking to shots that are not hosted by POTN (i.e.,embedding them), but keep within POTN rules. Also keep within POTN rules about size. A copy of the size rules can be found here: IMAGE POSTING RULES (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=194511)

An index to previous weeks can be found here: POTN WORLDWIDE PHOTO DAY INDEX (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=170603)

That's it! Have fun!

Welcome back, Joayne!
Hope you had a great trip.

When do we get to see your travel shots?

[joayne]

Thanks Barbara...

The trip was fantastic, as the owner of the apartment where I stayed invited us to go with him 5 hours south for 2 days, to the Amalfi coast, which I thought would be a whole different trip "someday" :)


heh, well, I've only just got them downloaded and I'll start sorting through today I hope. I am a slow at sorting and grading and putting in the Metadata, but hopefully I'll get some stuff up on my SmugMug account and link to it in a day or so.

[joayne]

Ok, so I'm breaking the rules here as this was not shot this week ... my bad. However it fulfills my obligation of a photo in Italy and it has windows.

Here are some Italian windows.. The is the Ponte Vecchio in Florence:

*** A HUGE Thanks for John_B for keeping WWPW alive and working.



THANK YOU JOHN!!

[annietex]

Joayne, as the keeper of WWPW I think you're entitled to break the rules once;);)
Beautiful photo BTW!

And yes, THANKS JOHN!!

[John_B]

Your welcome :cool:

Here is a photo just taken of one rose placed in between two Glass mirrors.

Thanks joayne :)
It smelled good too ;)

[joayne]

John, Are you indoors for shooting due to weather?

Crissa.. Lovely shot, I really like the grass reflected indoors :)

[John_B]

John, Are you indoors for shooting due to weather?
joayne,
No....., more because I was exhausted.... Yesterday I hiked in the mountains for 8+ miles at Minnewaska State Park <-- click to see (http://johnbdigital.com/blog/parks/minnewaska.htm) and then stayed up to watch the Yankees loose.. :( so today after work I took it easy inside ;)

[joayne]

John, stunning set and looks like the walk was well worth it :)
Quite a hit fest last night.. tho, both the west coast teams end up as losers.. Glad I was away and didn't even think about the series :)

[annietex]

WOW John! I love it!! Something I would never have thought of, but now I have to try it...and BTW, WTG on the long hike!:):)


Crissa, very nice shot :-) I love seeing the "outdoors indoors"! Kinda sad it's abandoned, though...do you know what happened?

[Skrim17]

The area was absorbed into a state park, they left all of teh buildings in tact, Wallpack, NJ.

also thru the window glass

Skrim17,
Interesting NJ door... :)

I took this photo and found it interesting.
Here is an example of what a Canon Flash looks like through glass then red wine then glass again :)
It didn't affect flavor :lol:

Excellent shots John! Diggin' the wine glass!

One of the last times we did this theme I went to the zoo and got a few shots. Guess where I am heading this weekend? :lol:

[theague]

Well somehow I missed this thread. I'll see if I can get a shot or two for this week :)

[John_B]

[joayne]

Come on Mike and Mr Monkey Pants...

Show us something! :)

John, hope you weren't hurt or aren't in for 7 years of less than good luck. Nice B/W treatment.

[theague]

I'm at work. I'll try to take something tonight while I'm at my parents for dinner. :) I've been meaning to find ways to participate each week but time flies!

[theague]

Ok, here are my submissions for the week:

1. There are wine glasses in this photo and there are windows! :)

2. Same table, different view.

3. This is really similar to out the window so I decided to focus on the actual window itself so you could see the rain drops :)

[annietex]

John, I think your glass has a problem ;)

Kody, nice job! I especially like the first one of the table...

Barbara, cool houses, and I like that you caught someone walking in front of them :-)

Joayne, nice swirls.

Mike, nice set! I love the look on your son's face :)

Ok, so here's my lame attempt :p

Guess who?

[joayne]

OMG, I'm a huge Mr Peanut fan! I love that, Annie!!

Mike, your daughter is nearly a teenager and I can't even imagine that your son is walking and talking! Long time no post of the kids! ... but they look beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

.. and Thank you Crissa and annie!

[annietex]

Joayne, thanks so much! I'd not had a chance to shoot anything this week and the sunflower seeds jar called out to me ;)

[In2Photos]

Mike, nice set! I love the look on your son's face :)

Thanks. He had a blast and most of his shots show a much happier kid! :lol: Getting them both to smile at the same time is not so easy though!

Love the Mr. Peanut shot!

Thanks Joayne. My schedule has been nuts and I have let photography get away from me. I'm working hard to get back into the swing of things, but I feel like I am starting over. Not as easy as riding a bike! :lol:

[joayne]

OK, let's get started...

I like Skrims suggestion of Wide Open (which I rarely do, cuz I never get the focus right! :(

I can be found HERE (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?p=8982902#post8982902)

[John_B]

John, I think your glass has a problem ;)

Ok, so here's my lame attempt :p

annietex,
Not a lame attempt to my eyes!
I bet Planters would be proud, I would :)

BLS,
Aren't you glad you don't have to clean all that glass? ??? :lol:

In2Photos,
Your teddy bear in the window photo was so cute! :)

theague,
To my eyes your rain drop photos was the best of the bunch ;)

[annietex]

Thanks John! I felt kinda lame because I always wait til the last minute and have to improvise something!

[John_B]

Thanks John! I felt kinda lame because I always wait til the last minute and have to improvise something!
annietex,
I know the feeling, improvising makes it more fun at at times (not lame to my eyes/mind) :)

[joayne]

Thanks John! I felt kinda lame because I always wait til the last minute and have to improvise something!

It just means that you've been thinking about it :)

annietex,

John, you may improvise, but you are generally 1st to post :lol::lol:

[John_B]

John, you may improvise, but you are generally 1st to post :lol::lol:
Joayne,
Does that make me the quickest improviser? ??? :lol:

Oh and I am sorry, I forgot to complement your bit more glass photo as it was excellent with great color and shallow DOF, well done! ;)

[joayne]

John, I think you see through the camera with your minds eye ;)

.... and Thanks for the compliment!
