Community Photo Challenge-FIREWORKS!

This is a great time to have a FIREWORKS Challenge!! This challenge will last for 2 weeks, starting today and ending July 9th.
If you never shot fireworks, you will need a tripod, camera with a shutter release or remote. Set your camera to manual mode, your aperture to f8 and snap shutter at the start of the explosion , hold the shutter down as it burst, then release. I use ISO 100 (but you can use 200)
Remember to post the images on your blog, come back here and leave your link by clicking on the blue Inlinkz button at the bottom of this post.

Community Photo Challenge-MACRO

Starting today our new challenge is MACRO.
You will have 2 weeks to post a close up of anything, a MACRO shot, on your blog. Then comeback here and leave your link. This challenge ends on May 15th.
Image must be taken by you. And we ask you leave a link to our challenge on your post. ANYONE can join in!

Upcoming Challenges...and my activity update...

Hi, all. I know I've been bad about posting and keeping up with things in our challenges and Blogger community in general so Marie thought it would be a good idea to update everyone on my personal 'challenges'. Nothing bad...it's all good, actually. Just time consuming.

Last year, I was elected President of my camera club (Monmouth Camera Club) in New Jersey. Since then, I've been working hard to make the club an exciting experience for every member...and it must be working because we're getting new members at every meeting! One thing I do is work with our events chairman to set up some great trips (Longwood Gardens, Eastern State Penitentiary, DUMBO to name a few) every month. Our February trip was something special--a photo safari to Grand Central Terminal in NYC. This trip included a list of topics for a photo contest that we ran. The photos are posted in a Facebook album and Marie agreed to judge them (THANK YOU Marie!). Well, it was a huge success, we had some very happy members, and now folks are asking for more.

The reason for all this information is that the topics we used are going to be upcoming challenges here on this blog. We're going to have challenges for:

--Motion

--Vanishing Point

--Reflections

Check out the album of images from our club to get an idea of how the members responded to these topics:

And...be prepared for the next few challenges!
