365 blogs - 2 months in!

[vawitt]

Hi, everyone! In keeping with Grant's good suggestion about reflecting on our past month's posts, I've looked back over February. I can't decide between these two:

Hangs on a Wall (http://vals366.blogspot.com/2009/02/what-do-you-call-guy-with-no-arms-and.html)
Blue (http://vals366.blogspot.com/2009/02/not-quite-glacial-ice.html)

I've enjoyed keeping up with so many blogs. Thanks to everyone who's stopped by mine and left a word or two. It's really appreciated.

Blog on! It's nearly March!

Wow!! Two months of the most incredible photographic experience that I have ever had. Thanks to everyone for stopping by my blog. Comments are always appreciated and if not that's fine too.

This is my favorite because I really expected it to be a dud but it turned out that I love the everything about it!!

Running a close second is this one. This is the sole reason why I got my macro lens...I love shooting flowers. This is my very first shot with my new lens.

Thanks Val for creating a walk down memory lane.

Happy month #3 everyone!!

Two months down, only ten months to go LOL! It is so much easier saying which images I like of other peoples. I guess my favorites of my own pics have to be
1. Water (http://tmcchesney.wordpress.com/2009/02/08/40-water/)
2. Watch (http://tmcchesney.wordpress.com/2009/02/05/37-watch/)
It has been so much fun blogging with all of you, I am learning so much and have made some great new friends! Here's to another ten months....

And some special kudos to Tammy, who has to be one of the most faithful commenters out there! Your encouragement is really appreciated!

You are too nice, Mike! I am really enjoying going through everyone's pictures, love to see the takes on the themes (it seems to give me ideas as well). What a great bunch we have!

[JulieM]

This is a very special group, indeed! :) The creativity, energy and generosity of every single participant is making this a very rewarding project to be involved with. Thanks, all!

[billz]

Congratulations are indeed in order, not for stamina yet (we're only 16% there), but for creativity and quality photography. Every day that goes by the images are getting better and the theme interpretations are getting more intriguing. This is a very inspiring group.

I can't leave comments on some blogs because I choose not to have an account, but I try to swing by most of the sites at least once or twice a week. We're all doing great I think! Keep it up! (And keep stockpiling images ... come August you'll be very happy to have a nice, healthy stack of images to fall back on.;))

I caused confusion for some by picking one of Eddies photos as my favourite for January, but being the coward I am I will toe the party line and pick one of my own this month, which doesn't mean that this will always be the case.

The reason I selected this is that I still haven't figured out how I did it and I love the green surround of the Moon,
Looking forward to the next 300+ days.

Ain't we a grand Old Bunch.

Ron - cool photo!

Grant - I've already spotted a few I missed the first time around, so thanks for this good suggestion of a recap!

[Ellen]

I've missed some too so this is such a good idea. There really are some great images, wish there was more time.... More kudos to Tammy, more than once I've come to link to the list and there you are!
My faves of my own are at the moment water's edge (http://ellens365.wordpress.com/2009/02/17/waters-edge/) and what am I? (http://ellens365.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/what-am-i/) . but it changes.
There truly is a lot of talent involved and a kind bunch of people to boot!

Looking back over the month and it's been a challenge to pick my favorites. Several photos were waving their hands calling out to be chosen - some because I just like the image and others because of what I learned either in the process or in self-critique afterwards. I finally settled on these -

Break the Rule of Thirds (http://klsbear.wordpress.com/2009/02/20/feb-20-2009-break-the-rule-of-thirds-33/) - this one because it made me really think about composition
Abandoned (http://klsbear.wordpress.com/2009/02/11/feb-11-2009-abandoned-5/) - and this one for what I learned about processing

The feedback and education have been invaluable and I am so thankful I found this group! I'm learning alot and connecting with new friends around the world - it doesn't get better than that!

I think the snowflakes are my favorite from my February blog. I know I had lots of fun shooting flakes for days!

The greedy squirrel probably takes second place.

I really do appreciate Tammy, Ron and everyone else who has commented on my postings! Those two came to mind first because they seem to post on every photo but there are many others who also inspire me! I love visiting all the blogs and tho I don't take the time to comment much, I do learn and appreciate all I see.

I have a few that were special to me this month but this one on Tools Of The Trade (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9KNkx7RBo1A/SY2IEQpzGWI/AAAAAAAAA1E/JPdm0s9ShpY/s1600-h/332+Tools+of+the+Trade.jpg)was fun trying to catch the flying sawdust!

Thanks everyone for a fun month and I'm looking forward to more!!
