Ten on the Tenth: Photos from Twelve Days of Christmas

I’m really enjoying the Twelve Days of Christmas prompts in Cheryl Johnson’s class. I still have several assignments to complete. Waiting for some willing subjects to appear, and for the rain to subside. But here are ten:

Here’s the most recent one, although late for the prompt which was “Party, Party.” It doesn’t match the assignment exactly since Cheryl was looking for somewhat goofy group shots, but it seemed to fit the mood. We bought new bows for our outdoor wreaths, and Tracy held it up and said, “You ought to take this for your Photo-of-the-day.” Done!

These were taken for the “Reflection” prompt. I like the first one because I captured both of us in the photo.

My “festive self-portrait.”

Another self-portrait shot, that could have been used for today’s “Reflection” prompt.

Two of the shots for the White Balance exercise. The one on the right is truest to the actual color, but the one with the flash was a favorite of several people who commented on the forum. If I use a flash, I rarely use the pop-up but will use the external flash Tracy bought me a few years ago.

The tag was created for the “Spell It Out” prompt and I photographed it with the dies I used to create it.

And, finally, three photos from the “Festive Photo Walk” that I didn’t include in my Christmas Journal.

I’m enjoying this class, and hope to get out soon to take some photos of Christmas lights at night. I’d like it to stop raining, and hope it doesn’t get too cold. (Wishful thinking.)
