Day 20 may not prove to be my best work, but it was one of the best days I've ever had with a camera in my hand. My almost 5 year old decided he needed his own camera because sister didn't want to share with him. So after a quick trip to Walmart, we went to a local small town nearby to take a photowalk.

1) This is half of the town.



2) The boy getting that different perspective.



3) Sissy getting a photo of the cross on the side of the Church.




4) Daddy thought the cross was pretty cool as well.

Day 21: Monday's are killing me on this challenge. Either that or I am getting extremely picky about my images. I went out for to get a sunset but failed but I did get a long exposure night shot and decided that it needed to be b&w. I feel that everything is coming out b&w.

What do you guys think, does this one work?



Crop as suggested by pgriz.

 

[pgriz]

Of course it works - it's a picture!

However, I'd consider cropping that one at the support of the middle cross. Then the image becomes more intriguing.

Thank you. I added the crop to the original. Better?

I think so. But I'm biased.

Thank you. I can see the difference looking at them both there. The first is more of something that would mean a lot to a member of that particular Church but the second will be meaningful to a lot more people.

Ha! Great minds think alike, pgriz! As I was looking at the original photo, I was already mentally "cropping" it in my head and thinking it would be better if it were all about the crosses and the lines of the building behind them. Then I see that Ron's already DONE the exact crop I was envisioning, at your suggestion.
I definitely like the cropped version better, Ron!

Thanks Sharon. There are just times when I need help with the cropping.

What camera did you buy your son? My grand daughter turns 4 in December and was thinking about getting her one, but maybe I will wait another year when the attention span is better. Good to see the kids taking an interest in your photography.

The half the town photo looks like one we lived in with a population 900. Someone once told me the benefit of living in small town is at least you know who are the crazies.

I just went to walmart and got him a small p&s for under $30. It holds up to an 8gb sd card, so I knew I could keep that part and at almost 5, I didn't figure that it would last a long time, but that is okay as long as he is using it and enjoys it. Since we've got it, he's went out with me almost every day to shoot something.

This town is so small, it doesn't even have 90 people, well maybe if you count the animals too.

Day 24 is a total fail and disappointment for me. I took a shot at several things, but tonight my creativity was just gone. This has to be the hardest day of this entire challenge.

I got out the blacklight and was looking for something that was glowing and looked different.

Ron, permit me to offer a slightly different perspective. Suppose you were living, say, 100 years ago, and were somehow brought forward in time to your town. What would you see that would be different/amazing/magical? What wonders would you want to tell your unbelieving friends and family if you could now go back? You'll be seeing the world through 1913 eyes. Now what?
