Summer photo challenge update #2

It's been a while but I've been in beautiful Italia gathering lots more photos to use for my challenge! I know I'm cheating a little by grouping some photos together...I have no excuses other than these are my favourite photographs!

#2- Sunflare and #11 Macro
 
#4 Beach and #26 Orange
 #8 Water and #13 Summer Fun
I think this photo of my hubby driving a boat around Capri makes him look likes he's part of a 1960s movie!
  #12- Black and White
 

#17- Summer drink
Elderflower champagne- yum yum!
 #18 Relaxation and #21 Summer Read

 #22- Shade/shadows
Pompeii
 #23 - Heat
This white against the blue sea always reminds me of the heat of places like Greece and Italy.


#30- A walk
Reconstruction of Abbey Road- except it's in Pompeii!

Summer photo challenge update #1

Hey all,

Well I've been off on travels this last few days including to lovely Wales which has given me the chance to start taking pictures towards my photo challenge. Like I said in my previous post I would love for people to get involved in this and there are details on the post as to how to do it.

So update number 1.....


#6- A Flower


#9-Summer food
What is better than a burger and chips in an English pub garden in the summer sun?


#14 Bokeh and #15 Summer fruits
Lovely apples growing in the summer evening sunlight
 #16 Landscape
I know this isn't strictly a 'landscape' but I love how you get a taster of the landscape in this picture of what is being seen through the cottage window.
 #27 Reminds you of your childhood
Paddling in streams= childhood bliss
 #29 Clouds
These clouds looked stunning as the sun set over the Welsh hills

Summer photo challenge

Ciao lovely readers! Being a teacher I'm fortunate at the moment to have 6 WHOLE weeks off to recuperate from a manic year. However whilst I am love love loving having some proper free time (most of which I am using to sit in front of the telly and watch the Olympics) I need some challenges to keep me having a little focus at least this summer.

One of these challenges is I've found an awesome (or annoying according to the hubby) app for my phone which helps me learn Italian for our impending trip- hence the greeting at the beginning of my post!

The second challenge I've set myself is to further my photography skills after earlier this year I invested in my first DSLR camera. So, I have written myself a summer photography bucket list which I intend to complete during August. The list is as follows.....


More importantly I would love other people to join in my challenge! So there are several ways to do this. Firstly you can upload photos to a Flickr group I've set up here. Secondly you can e-mail me photos that I can upload to my blog (if you do this please give me your name/nickname). Thirdly add comments to my blogs with links to your Flickr accounts or blogs. Fourthly- be creative! Come up with your own way to participate!

I'd rather have more people involved than anything so if you only want to participate in some of the photos then do so! If the only camera you have is your i-phone (and you're addicted to Instagram which is my recent discovery) feel free to join in. How ever much and whatever you want to contribute will be welcomed!

Happy snapping!

P.S. If you can't read the list so well then you can find it on my Pinterest account here or on Flickr here.
