So I am not the only one who found some of the "Chloe" communication style somewhat "D-Mac-ish". Maybe it is time for a "step-out" panorama mandate?? -- Regards, Savageduck |

After all the bickering I thought I might as well add some food for thought if we are going to keep this thing going. I was thinking that we might steal some ideas from the G+ Photography circles weekly themes. I have removed reference to the G+ day of submission and tweaked the titles, but have left the spirit of intent intact. Remember, those G+ themes are set and have contributions made weekly. Here are some (...or restatements of some) to ponder: SkyScape StreetArt Birds of Prey Signs (that is street signs or other types worthy of being immortalized on SI) Zen (any expression of simple beauty) Mountains (Sorry Tony, Florida mole hills don't count!) Music (performance, musician, or instrument) Doors Monochrome study Military (any shot with a military element) Mirror (any shot where reflections are part of the composition) Mystery (any shot which sparks the question, "What is it?") Midair (any shot where the subject is a person, pet, or object captured in mid air) My Town Decay (consider shots of abandoned, or forgotten architecture, engineering, infrastructure, etc.) Archi-Texture (Architecture is the subject with an emphasis on structural texture) Transport (all and/or any forms of transport excluding automobiles) Candid capture Theoretical (a shot which conceptualizes an idea, or is in the form of abstract art) In Motion (any shot showing motion and movement using panning, blur, zoom effects, and intentional camera movement) Food Feet Rural Some good suggestions, though some may be a little off the ranch. Here it is not easy to get close to birds of prey, for example - and Tony would be hard pressed for a mountain. There are a few that we've done (directly or tangentially). I'll keep these in the hat for reference... -- "I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know." -Samuel Clemens. |

Besides, RitaB/LarryT had a far better sense of self-deprecating humor than D-Mac. Who else would use a $4000 DSLR + $6000 lens to take a shot of the South bound end of a North bound Labrador? -- Regards, Savageduck |
