Share Your View: Waiting to Click

by Dina @ 4 Lettre Words
Today I am sharing a few images from the Flickr pool, for the current Exploring with a Camera theme: Waiting to Click. As I’ve looked through the photos linked in so far, I’ve realized that I missed a whole category of photography where patience is paramount: Wildlife! I’m so glad that I have you all to participate and show me that gap. I don’t really photography wildlife so I loved seeing this interpretation and I thought I would share a few wildlife images with you.
How is it going this week, have you been seeing opportunities where you might want to wait to click? There is plenty of time to link your images in below and to add them to the Flickr pool. I’ll do one more wrap up post next Wednesday before we move on to the next topic, and I would love to see what you have to share.

Countdown from Three

Three, two, one….
We move on from Group of Three tomorrow, but here is one last glimpse of some of the wonderful groups of three that were shared in the Flickr pool and in the link up. So many creative ideas!  Tomorrow we’ll be “Waiting to Click” as our next Exploring with a Camera topic.

Also stop by today and say hi on the blog Just Travelin’ Through, where Christine interviewed me on expat life in Italy. I’m discovering that it’s an interesting process to be interviewed, I learn more about myself each time I answer new questions.

Share Your View, Part 2

Three's a Crowd
Three’s a Crowd by ArtsyBelle

Do you ever have those “duh” moments, where when you realize that you did something really, well, kind of silly? And you told somebody about it one way, but realized you were seeing the situation incorrectly and you were just wrong? I’ll confess, I had that yesterday around the whole Flickr photo thing. There wasn’t a problem with sharing, the menus were just changed and the problem was completely with me. Silly me.

So, here is Share Your View: Group of Three part 2 – where it actually is your view from the Flickr pool. You still have through April 5 to explore groups of three and share them through the linky here or in the Flickr pool. I’ll do one more wrap up post with images from the Flickr pool next Wednesday.

I’m loving your groups of three, keep them coming. Have a great weekend exploring!

Share Your View: Group of Three

The best laid plans sometimes go awry! When I went into Flickr today to pull some of your “group of three” images from the Exploring with a Camera pool to post here, all of the sharing had been turned off. At first I thought it was just a couple of people but it must be a Flickr-wide issue because everyone has sharing turned off.

Instead, I’m improvising to share with you this group of three pots spotted on the streets of Ravenna. I’m never at a loss of photos to share! It’s actually quite fun, my family gets into Exploring with a Camera along with me and after I’ve posted a new topic they are most helpful in pointing out possible images on the theme as we travel. My husband spotted this group!

This post is about you though, and your view. Since Flickr is acting up, please be sure to link in your Group of Three images below so that we can all enjoy them. I love the different finds and compositions you all have shared so far!

Leaving the Square

Ah, our time studying square format is wrapping up. I love that I have a new crop in my arsenal of composition tools after this exploration. I know I will be using square format more, how about you? 
Thank you to all of you who participated both in the link up and the Flickr group! The images were fantastic, and I’m sharing a few today. I found I was drawn to simple images, with one main subject and little background detail. I find these harmonious and peaceful.
See you tomorrow, for a new Exploring with a Camera post. We’ll be looking at Groups of Three.

Share Your View: Square Format

I’m so excited to highlight a couple of other photographer’s work today! These wonderful images were shared in the Exploring with a Camera Flickr group. I love the simplicity of the composition in both of these square format images. There is a wonderful sense of  peace and tranquility in HiddenRealm‘s image above, and almadr‘s image below is fun and colorful. It makes me want to pull out my colored pencils and play!

Today we’re focusing on your view! You can link in your square format images below, or just peruse the wonderful images that have been shared so far. There are lots of interesting takes on square format! If you’d like to be featured here, put your images in the Flickr pool. I’ll have one more feature post on square format next week before we move on to the next Exploring with a Camera topic. Until then – don’t forget the words of Huey Lewis and the News: “It’s hip to be square!”
PS – Today is the last day to enter the giveaway for the pretty Florentine papers, so come by this post and comment.
