Mari's 365 Photos 2010

Today's challenge: "Weekend whimsy. Make a photograph of something that tickles your funny bone. Caption it accordingly."

Okay - so I changed it slightly to 'tickles my fancy'. This is my new favorite drink since my holiday in London. Pimm's No. 1 Cup. I think this is the most refreshing drink you could find in the UK when the weather is hot!

My favorite part? They serve it with a cucumber in the drink!

Today's challenge: "Make a photo of elements that are strikingly different from one another to add tension and interest to your composition."

I don't know why, but when I read the challenge this morning I immediately thought of ice cream and the scoop. Maybe I should eat more ice cream!

Today's challenge: "Make a photo composed of interesting shadows today. Try composing with long shadows at the beginning and end of the day."

Shadows this time of the day are good for those of us who are vertically challenged!

Today's challenge: "Look for abstract shapes and designs today. Make a photo of a subject everyone has seen that's not easily recognizable."

I've sort of been on a Daily Shoot break since I returned from our holiday in London. Today, I'm getting back on track.

Today's challenge: "Shoot wide open today. Make a creative photo that uses a shallow depth of field to good effect."

For me this was a travel day. Flying on benefits is great for the budget, but it can sometimes be stressful - waiting to know if there is a seat available on the flight you want.

I was one of the last three given a seat on the flight out of Heathrow to Denver (non-stop). So I'm not sure how creative this is - but today getting this seat made my day!
