Barn Dance 3

The nighttime views of the world are quite varied! I hope you are having fun exploring Night Photography right now. You can tell the folks in the Flickr pool are! I had a hard time choosing a couple to share today. 
We have another week of exploring the night, so you can still get out late in the evening or early in the morning and show us what the night looks like in your area. You can link in below or share your images in the Exploring with a Camera Flickr pool until the end of the day Tuesday, August 30. 
Are you enjoying your Night Photography Camera Companion? Has it helped? Don’t worry if you missed it! I’m sending a “catch up” newsletter just to new subscribers in order to get the Night Photography Camera Companion in your hands! If you haven’t subscribed yet, do it now and you’ll get the Camera Companion via email on Sunday. (If you don’t know what a Camera Companion is, you can visit this post or sign up for the newsletter here – you’ll get the Basic Composition Camera Companion as a gift for signing up.)

Out of the Frame

We’ve finished up our exploration of Frame within a Frame, and did you find out what a great tool it is? I love how a frame within a frame can lead you through a photo to a subject. It’s a tool that you can use in many different situations to great effect.
It was fun seeing the images you linked in (below) and shared in the Flickr pool. If you haven’t already, spend a little bit of time visiting the other links for examples of frame within a frame images. Today I’m sharing a few from your fellow readers.
Join me tomorrow for my final “second edition” Exploring with a Camera of the summer. If you haven’t signed up for the newsletter yet, this week is a good time. Sunday’s newsletter will have a special camera companion that goes with tomorrow’s Exploring with a Camera topic attached to it. This topic is another of my all time favorites, so don’t miss it!

Share Your View: Frame within a Frame (2nd edition)

I approached picking photos for this post with excitement this morning. You see, I’ve chosen “easing” over “jumping” back into things this week, and I hadn’t looked at any of the Exploring with a Camera: Frame within a Frame shots yet! It was so fun to go through the pool and see how you all were using frames within a frame. 
Today I’m sharing a few I enjoyed so far, and I’ll be commenting on those linked in so far over the next couple of days. You still have almost a week to study this concept in your archives and with your camera, and then come back to link in below and share your images in the Flickr pool. Have fun!

Finishing the Pattern

How fun was Exploring with a Camera: Repeating Patterns? I loved watching what you found and shared! Especially the nature shots, since I didn’t have any for this exploration. I thought I would share a couple of them here, but I couldn’t resist one architecture shot too. I can’t help it!

Take a few moments to look around the link up (posted below) and the Flick Pool. I’m running a bit late coming by and commenting on those of you who linked in since I’m on vacation, but I’ll be by soon.

Come back tomorrow for another second edition Exploring with a Camera! This next one is an all-time favorite of mine, and I bet it will be for you too. See you tomorrow!

Reflecting on Reflections

Oh, so sad! Exploring with a Camera: Reflections in Glass has come to an end. The good thing is that the inspiration to capture reflections in glass is not over – I know that you all will be seeing and capturing these reflections for a long time to come. I see them everywhere, and it’s another tool in my photographic toolbox.
For some reason, I was very attracted to architectural reflection images in the Flickr pool this week. But I also fell in love with this reflection image below, for the story it tells. Keep this in mind too – a reflection as a narrative element in your photos. I’m going to have to use this image by aia*c as inspiration and play around!

I’ll leave you with one more gorgeous shot of the reflected sky, but you can find so many more reflections in the Flickr pool and at the links below. I so enjoy seeing what all of you do with these themes I throw out there. I always, always am inspired and learn so much from your point of view.

What will the next Exploring with a Camera topic be? Tune in tomorrow to find out!
