I’m combining two different Nicolesy 52 Photo Challenge topics into one post. The topic for week 16 was “Flat Lay”, where we had to take a picture of one or more items lying flat on a surface and take the photo from above. Too bad I forgot to use some […]

Cory has been actively working on developing his disc golf game using his left hand. As part of his learning, he asked me to photograph his right-hand drive and his left-hand drive so that he can compare his technique for each. As a result of his request, I put together […]
The week 12 theme in the Nicolesy 52 Photo Challenge is a technique that I’ve worked on for quite some time: sidelights. The idea is to have the subject lit from the side. These photos are some that I took several years ago using this technique: And these are the […]
In honor and celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, week 11’s theme in the Nicolesy 52 photo challenge is “green”. These are a few of the photos I took this week.
Last week’s challenge in the Nicolesy 52 photo challenge was “patterns” and this week, for week 10 its “symmetry”. They share some similar elements. For example, if I had known that symmetry was going to be the next topic, I would have saved the photo I took of the brick […]
As you can probably tell by the image above, I have quite a few books by Dean Koontz. He’s one of my favorite authors and I’ve recently been collecting his books by going to Savers. Savers is a great place to buy used books! The 52 photo challenge by Nicolesy […]
Here is Nicolesy‘s introduction to week 8’s topic of “Negative Space”: “It’s always great to fill the frame with your subject, but sometimes giving your subject room to breathe can make a HUGE impact in the photo. Negative space (also known as ‘copy space’ in the commercial-photography industry) is an […]
“Leading Lines” was the topic for the Nicolesy 52 photo challenge for week 7. “Leading Lights” was taken inside the Joanne Fabric and Craft store in Murray, Utah “The Canyon” is a large artwork that is hanging in the Salt Lake City International Airport “Toothpicks”. Still trying to get my […]
The Nicolesy 52 Photo Challenge topic for week 6 is “Framing”. Either a natural frame around the subject captured in camera, or a frame added to the photo in post-processing. The blue bottle was a new photo that I took specifically for this challenge, even though it’s not a new […]
I bought this flag and flagpole from Colonial Flag, in Sandy, Utah. I really like it because the top half of the pole where the flag is attached rotates so that the flag doesn’t get tangled up when the wind blows. The flagpole I had before didn’t have that cool […]
“Textures” was the week 5 theme for Nicolesy’s 52 Photo Challenge. There were some very interesting photos submitted by the other photographers. I wasn’t as ambitious. The puzzle texture is from “The Beatles” puzzle that I put together a few years ago and then had glued and framed. The other […]
The week 4 Nicolesy 52 photo challenge is “Motion Blur”. Here are a few examples of photos that I have taken applying this concept. Ellie’s artwork and the “shut the box” game photos are those I took this week and submitted for the challenge. The other photos weren’t taken for […]
For week 2 of Nicolesy’s Mighty Networks photography community, the 52 Photo Challenge theme is “Silhouette”. I was driving to pick up my granddaughter and saw these trees silhouetted against the sky; so I just had to stop and take a picture, or two, or three. The first photo in […]
I didn’t have any intention of taking photos today of things that are blue. As I walked into my office this morning to get on my computer, i looked back at the three cobalt blue bottles that I had previously placed on the window sill to sit in the sun. […]
