10 things.....

10THINGS  on the 10th of every month is a new monthly blogging event over on http://www.shimelle.com/ for participants of Beyond Blogging for Scrapbookers.  This challenge is to create a post about things, which can include, 10 photos of your day, 10 things you made this month, 10 things that inspired you - anything once it is 10 things on the tenth of each month.  Anyway I signed up for Shimelle's e-course, Beyond Blogging for Scrapbookers, printed off the pdfs and was already to start but just couldn't get going, so this time I intend getting more involved.  I love photography and I feel I have so much to learn.  One of the things I keep seeing everywhere is that the only way you are going to learn is to practice, practice and more practice.  So I decided to join a photography challenge (or two).  The one I am participating in now is a 30 Day Photography Challenge over on White Peach Photography.  Every day you are given a prompt to take a photo.  Anyway today is the 10th day of the challenge so I'm going to include the 10 photos I have taken so far.  The prompts included:

Day1: Self Portrait....

Day2: What you wore today....

Day3: Clouds....

Day 4: Something Green....

Day 5:  From a high angle....

Day 6: From a low angle....

Day 7:  Fruit....

Day 8:  A bad habit....

Day 9:  Someone you love....

Day 10: Childhood memory....

A bad habit!



Today's challange over on White Peach Photography is to take a photo of a 'bad habit'.  Was trying to come with ideas for a bad habit - it's not that I don't have any - when my daughter comes into the sitting room with a strawberry meringue with loads of fresh cream.  Well how could a person resist that?  One of my bad habits is that I love my food too much - the wrong type of food!  Have a look over on White Peach Photography  for everybody else's 'bad habits'!

Bloom...



On Sunday, we went to Bloom 2011, Ireland's largest gardening, food and family event, in the Pheonix Park, Dublin.  The show was on from Thursday 2nd to Monday 5th June and it included 27 show gardens from the very best of Irish landscape gardeners and designers, free gardening advice from experts and workshops, An Bord Bia's new Food Village which included 'Chef's Summer Kitchen' which had cookery demonstrations from a number of Ireland's well know celebrity chefs such as Catherine Fulvio, Neven Maguire, Donal Skehan and Jenni Bistrow.  There was also an Arnotts Fashion show hosted by Brendan Courtney and Sonya Lennon of RTE's Off the Rails.  There was so much to see and do - We thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the "rhubarb and custard" flavoured chocolates!  Here's a few pictures I took.

30 Day Photography Challenge.....Day 7

Fruit

Today's challenge over on White Peach Photography is 'fruit'.  I got my darling daughter, again to help me out with this photo.  I got her to hold an apple which had been munched on - it's meant to look like a heart!!!!  Anyway pop on over to White Peach Photography to check everybody else's photos out.

30 Day Photography Challenge.....Day 6

From a low angle



Today's challenge over on White Peach Photography was a photograph from a low angle!  Anyhow today I dragged my darling son out.  If I thought my daughter was reluctant, my son was worse but sometimes bribery works.  I had very little time to set up this shot so it didn't work out the way I wanted it - I would have preferred maybe a different angle.  Pop on over to see everybody else's shots on White Peach Photography.
