Winner Winner!

I really didn't expect much from this picture. I was just experimenting with shutterspeed to practice some of the things I've learned on this new blog. I guess it worked!

I won!!!

I may have mentioned before, but a while back I joined this photography group online. A friend of mine told me about it and I thought it would be a fun way to practice some photography skills. Basically the premise is that 2x per week we are given a word and then 24 hours to take a NEW picture that, to us, represents that word. Then at the end of the challenge we all vote so choose 1 picture that is the best take on the challenge and 1 that is the best overall picture. I have added a picture link in my sidebar that I will update as each challenge comes along so that I can show what I've done.

Anyway! The point of this post is... this last one... I WON!!!

Me, the amatuer of the century. I actually won- Best Overall even. This is the picture I submitted for the theme of "Black and White"

This was taken on a walk over by my friend's house. It was a beautiful day with a bright blue sky but when I turned the picture black and white I got this great scary path into mystery. I was pretty excited about the picture but the others were also great so I didn't think in a million years that I would actually win! It's funny, there's no prizes or anything but it still feels really good.

Horray! I won! (I may or may not have done a little dance)
