I was hired again to do promotional photos for a music camp. Searched the internet researching poses for something "different". Oddly, didn't find anything I'd already done but did combine a few ideas, had a lot of fun and came up with these. Director was very happy and the person who does her graphics (brochures, ads, website) was extremely complimentary of my images. The kids really had fun participating in these "photo adventures" - something that greatly contributed to the success. The goal was to be innovative, appeal to youth, and give a "feel" for the camp environment.

Nice group, Pat! Ambitious Goals-good for you! I'm not as organized but I do think I've improved even if if just by continued snapping and reading about ways to improve. I think it's too bad that we can't

include web sites in our UGH posts because it makes it so much easier to demonstrate how you obtain success! There are other ways to do it but I,for one, miss the lazy man's way to learn. I 'll be back with

some favorites from this year soon! Thanks for hosting,Pat, thoughtful subject!

Like these, JJ, but especially 2 and 3 - the treatment in 2 and the overall composition of 2 and 3 - the lines, textures.

It's my honor to have the last challenge of 2016 and pass it off to RR for January 1, 2017. I also ended 2015 with the challenge "Photo Goals for 2016" - where would you like to be, photographically, in one year. Irenejb will host a similar challenge later in January. Looking back, I had 3 personal photo goals: 1) acquire and improve editing skills 2) Improve and increase my number of black and white images 3) NO NEW software - learn what I had. A little hedge on #3 as I did upgrade to On1 PhotoRAW and added to presets in Lightroom as well as On1. I started 2016 with the first image and am posting the latest version. Folks, post your favorite, your best, your greatest achievements of 2016. Look back and see how far your skills have come.

Nice job in removing those poles Pat, I enjoy that feature, I learned to clone out poles, wires or other objects quickly and easily in SPE.

Oh, Cool. I actually took 2nd place in the "Our Hometown Photo Contest" for Largo, Florida in November 2016. The photo was not published in the local newspaper or anything but it did appear on the City of Largo website. I know I was thrilled. Not quite up to snuff compared to what has already been posted. But I am proud of this shot.

Thank you. I use either snapheal or pixelmator. The healer/clone in Lightroom frustrates me!

And proud you should be! What a wonderful story - sort of inspires one to keep going and even enter more, don't you think?

Thank you, SHer. The "challenges" really got me "hooked" way back when and you had a big hand in that. I truly love your portrait work.
