Messing with the blogging world since 2005

photography challenge

Photo Blogging Challenge: June 2019’s theme is …

Month No. 6 of 2019 already?

Sheesh!

Where has the time on this year gone? But June means the eventual “official” start of summer, so that’s always a good thing, right? In my neck of the woods, it’s the end of the school year, and you can see the excitement building up.

And of course, likely some travel and all sorts of other things.

We push on here with the Photo Blogging Challenge and hopefully things will go better this month and beyond. I was just tweaking the PBC page on the site (link at top) and it blows my mind how many years we’ve been doing this. Hopefully, we can continue!

And note the new logo for the PBC, too, which goes with the new look of my blog. 

Anyway, I know.. on with the theme! But first … here are those other challenges!

Challenge 1: Tell others about this photo blogging challenge and get some friends to come join us.  Let’s see if we can get people interested in the challenge again.

Challenge 2: Make friends with your camera and see what you can come up with. Have fun!

Challenge 3 is at the end of this post (the theme!).

Before this, here’s some housekeeping items. For those who might be new to the challenge, here’s how it works.

  • See the theme (first day of the month);
  • Take photos throughout the month (don’t use old ones!);
  • Select five photos and create a blog post;
  • Come back here and link up on the final day of the month;
  • Use the official hashtag — #Photoblogchal — on social media posts;
  • Hopefully go visit and comment on other blogs.

That’s it. There’s no rules on equipment or anything else. Blog posts can be short and to the point, or in-depth. Interpret the themes as you see fit.

The one big rule?

Have fun!

This month’s theme? Get out and play! This will be very open to interpretation, so it will be interesting to see what everybody comes up with. Please make sure your blog post publishes Sunday, June 30. Then come back here and link up.

If you think you are going to take part in this, drop a comment below so we can see who all might be trying to tackle this challenge!

There is also a Facebook group for those who are interested.

If you would like to visit the history of the challenge, which started in 2013, please go to the Photo Blogging Challenge page for more!

Photo Blogging Challenge (May 2019): Your month, your choice

What a month, eh?

Here we go with a new month and a theme that should, for the most part, be a pretty easy one. I feel like when people have the chance to do their own thing with a theme… it can really shine.

With me, I went with some family items.

In the next few weeks, I’ll also be having a new look, which will hopefully push me to blog more. Also, that means some new looks to the photo blogging challenge and logos and such as we move forward.

But more on that later — for now, let’s get to this month’s photos.

1. Getting the sign

Tee-ball is underway. Cam has a sharp glove and is well on his way to giving me my retirement time — following him while he plays pro ball! (A guy can dream!)

2. Speaker

My niece graduated with her undergraduate degree this month. I went to her major’s pre-graduation ceremony, where she was a featured speaker. She did awesome!

 

3. Watching happiness If we could only bottle this kind of happiness.

 

4. Letting loose After the pre-graduation ceremony, my niece and her boyfriend had a little fun with some of the photo props.

 

5. Baseball Cam sure does love baseball!

If you took part in this month’s challenge, make sure to link up below.

And for those of you who participated, make sure you try and get to other people’s blogs and comment (here, too!).

Let’s continue to grow this challenge and have a strong community. Come back and check out the others who link later on, too!  

NOTE: I set up a Facebook group for those who participate in the challenge and are interested. I’ll post any announcements there and hopefully it can be a place where things are discussed and some interaction etc. You can access it here.

Photo Blogging Challenge: May 2019’s theme is …

There are times when you realize … it wasn’t good for vacation time. With work and everything else …

Yikes!

That means here was also hit and I guarantee — eventually — I’ll right the ship and hit the deadlines better! Maybe now that the weather seems to want to turn?

So let’s not waste a lot of time as this is already late. This month’s theme is an easy one, especially with the way things went for April.

But first, here are a few other challenges to keep in mind:

Challenge 1: Tell others about this photo blogging challenge and get some friends to come join us.  Let’s see if we can get people interested in the challenge again.

Challenge 2: Make friends with your camera and see what you can come up with. Have fun!

Challenge 3 is at the end of this post (the theme!).

Photo Blogging Challenge (April 2019): Color makes the world go round

NOTE: I set up a Facebook group for those who participate in the challenge and are interested. I’ll post any announcements there and hopefully it can be a place where things are discussed and some interaction etc. You can access it here.

Color is in the world all around us.

Sometimes, it’s more vibrant than others. I’m not sure how it’s been around you — but in my area, the spring has not brought as much vibrancy as in the past.

Maybe when the summer gets here? We can hope.

I hope you all had much more color out there! Here’s mine for the month.

1. Easter eggs

Another year of a great Easter egg hunt by Cameron! I hid them a little harder this year and he was all over it!

2. Geocaches

I’ve been placing a bunch of geocaches lately… sometimes they can be a bit colorful!

 

3. Food

Not only can food be delicious, it can be colorful as well!

4. Hockey masks

From a display at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto — goalie masks are often colorful and fancy!

5. Scorebook

Baseball season is here and when I am at a game, I keep a scorebook. And my scoresheets can often get colorful.

Photo Blogging Challenge: April 2019’s theme is …

This, folks, is why you check the blog to make sure something publishes and isn’t accidentally in your drafts ..

So, April’s theme is a wee bit late, but.. it’s my hope that the theme is easy enough that it doesn’t matter all that much!

I’ll be making my rounds for March, but from what I have seen so far… great job!

And now, we move on.

But first, here are a few other challenges to keep in mind:

Challenge 1: Tell others about this photo blogging challenge and get some friends to come join us.  Let’s see if we can get people interested in the challenge again.

Challenge 2: Make friends with your camera and see what you can come up with. Have fun!

Challenge 3 is at the end of this post (the theme!).

  • See the theme (first day of the month);
  • Take photos throughout the month (don’t use old ones!);
  • Select five photos and create a blog post;

This month’s theme? Color makes the world go round! This will be very open to interpretation, so it will be interesting to see what everybody comes up with. Please make sure your blog post publishes Tuesday, April 30. Then come back here and link up. NOTE: I will be traveling at the end of the month, so I am attempting to get everything done early and scheduled so that I don’t kill off this deadline!
