I bought Merry a Nikon 8-15mm lens for her Birthday. I wanted to try it, so yesterday we dived on a local shipwreck. We had a ripping current and less than five feet of visibility, so I was not happy with the results. Hopefully, she'll let me use the lens again when conditions improve.


Wow! How far down is she? Less than 5 feet makes me very nervous!!

Can you stand another sunrise? This is the only photo of our time at the lake that I have "handy". That would be my grandson out there watching the geese fly over.


I certainly can--all you can create, Pat! Beautiful!!

WOW! What a challenge it was yesterday shooting at the art festival...capturing people moving around, keeping an eye out for things sticking out of people's heads, others walking in front of the camera, what's in the background then I get home and review what I captured and discover that I should have moved back a little because I cut off that one's back, where'd that blowing napkin come from, how'd I not see that horrible orange meter bag...aaghh! But I did meet some wonderful artists, captured a couple nice images and found out a lot about the art world; also found out that there is a gallery that offers free, no jury showing (if you sell they keep a small %, think it was 5%)in this town and they also have a fundraiser coming up early winter that they give you a 12x12 tile (free) to place your work on, the fund raiser is always a sellout...they charge the patron $25 per tile and the artist receives $20! Here are a few...images of some artists and their works and patrons...

Thank you Johnna for the start up of this final "No Host, Just Post..." can sympathize with the time element especially as we approach the end of the summer season...
This morning I applied an assignment I been trying to find time to work this entire week...Photograph within 100 meters of your front door...now for a cup of coffee to get the fog out of my head and clear up my eyes (it appears from these shots I need to...) and off to shoot some street shots at an arts festival and a new farmers market in a nearby small town....
Thank you Johnna for the start up of this final &q... (show quote)


These are great Vickie! Love the pond and the country road.

Welcome everyone to the twelfth "No Host, Just Post, No Obligation Weekend". This should be the last weekend for “No Host, Just Post, No Obligation” Weekend challenges.

Thank you Roadrunner for hosting the Challenge: "Shooting in solitude" Aug. 19th – 23rd. Again sorry, I just didn't get the time to participate this week.

This week has been one thing after another. Honey I need you do this, Mom can you babysit, school started on Wednesday, and the weather absolutely did not cooperate, with storms and flooding most all week. Elderly neighbors needed help with trees that were damaged in last week’s Microburst cleanup. So my camera time didn’t commence until around 5 o’clock this evening. I always shoot in solitude, not necessarily because I want to, but more because, out here in the country, there aren’t any other photographers that share my interests in shots. But then again, maybe that’s a good thing. Here lately I haven’t been able to get into the woods anyway.
So, I will share what I managed to come up with from around my place this evening. Even with all the fury that mother nature presented us with last week, there is still beauty abounding around us. You just have to look for it.

With this being the last weekend of “No Host, Just Post with No Obligation Challenges, post whatever you like, but do keep in mind that this is a family friendly section.
Comments on submissions are welcomed but don't feel obligated to comment. Please don't be offended if your image doesn't receive any comments. Summer is a short and busy time of year for everyone, and not all have that much spare time.

Have a great weekend,
Johnna
