This Week's Theme: Textured Light


Our new theme for this week is Textured Light. Just like our last theme, this one also has to do with controlling your light sources. This time, give your light some interest by breaking it up with some interesting patterns, or even adding some color. In this example, I'm sitting on my bed with the sunlight coming through my half-closed blinds.

Australia and New Zealand

All right, here you go... Sorry I couldn't make it to the meeting tonight. I promise there's a good reason...
Can't figure out how to make the pictures go with the captions, so I'll list them.
1. This is Milford Sound in the fjordlands of the South Island of New Zealand.
2. (I obviously didn't take this, but it's awesome.) These are the Moeraki Boulders on the East Coast of New Zealand. Crazy things, aren't they?
3. These are the Twelve Apostles... There used to be more of them, but they are slowly collapsing... On the south coast of Australia, on the Great Ocean Road.
4. I still say that I took this one, even though I'm in it... Self timer, baby. This is in Pambula, New South Wales, Australia.
5. Portrait of Tasha, on the beach in Pambula.
6. Peace. On the beach in Pambula.
7. Pat, at Mackenzie Falls in the Grampians National Park, Australia.
