More Photography

I thought I would post some pictures that I dug out of some old disks that were collecting dust high up in my daughters bedroom closet. Thank goodness I keep copies of all of my files, or with my awful luck with laptops they would surely be lost when my hardrives seem to have twitches once a year.
I guess since spring has finally emerged here in the prairies I have started to pull my camera out of my own dusty bedroom closet. My husband is now going on nightly road trips out to the pasture to check the cows that we took there last week. So hubby and kids and camera in tow I stop and snap pictures of all things that show why it is so beautiful in the prairies.
I snapped a few pictures last night and decide on processing them today.
But until then I've uploaded the ones I dragged out of the closet. I'm starting to experiment with textures and I'm loving the feel they give to the photograph. Just enhancing the beauty of rural decay.


Remember to post your photos and participate in my flickr groups.Unseen Saskatchewan & The Weekly Photo Challenge.
The new theme for the photo challenge starts Monday and it is: SUREAL SKIES

Do you Flickr?

Are you a member of flickr??

I love flickr, I love searching through the site looking for photos of my hometown, my province and places in the world I have been to and would like to visit one day.
Flickr is a branch of yahoo which allows users to share photos, add to groups and participate in challenges.
I have started up a weekly photo challenge where there will be a new theme each week. Photos will not be voted on but I encourage users to enter and comment on the photos in the pool with critiques.
Please visit this group and become a member and participate.
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE
The first challenge is PATTERNS
