Up Close - Soccer Ball

Here is my feeble attempt at an up close photo of a soccer ball (I know it is far away). This was taken in May 2009, shortly after I got my Nikon.

Photo Assignment Jan 26 - Feb 1 - Yellow

Wow! Does time fly or what? Thanks to everyone who posted this week. For those who didn't (for shame....J/K) you can still post anytime you want. Be sure to use the label "up close" when you post for last weeks assignment. Any who...this weeks assignment is still pretty straight forward but maybe a little more abstract. Yellow. Do what ever you want just be sure to convey yellow. Your picture could range from a yellow taxi to Chris Martin and his band mates from Coldplay performing their hit song "Yellow" (if you have this kind of access...what are you doing posting on this dinky blog?.....call me so I can come). So there you have it Yellow!

Good Luck.

Photo Assignment Jan 18 - Jan 25 - Up Close

This weeks topic is pretty self explanatory. Take a picture of something up close. Feel free to make it artsy or abstract. Portraits can be very dramatic (or scary) when taken very close to the subject. Let you imagination run wild. (Just like I let the cheese)

Good Luck.
