I don't always whoop, but when I do, here it is
As a community of photographers, we exhibit a wide range of photographic skills, subject matter preferences and post processing abilities. We do this while trying to incorporate a daily prompt. This gives us all a sense of commonality while also giving us an idea or a starting off place to base our photo of the day on (or not). We are all stars in our own way, whether it be shown by our skills with the camera, our capability to inspire, our artistic creativity or by our aptitude toward storytelling. That is why we WHOOP when we see each other's work! It is always a pleasure to see a photograph from a new member, an older well established member, a member who shows up on occasion and even a random person who just shows up unexpectedly. We love you all!
We are everywhere. You can find us on our private Facebook page, on Instagram (although with the algorithm that is a bit of a challenge!) and on Flickr. (If you haven't tried Flickr, give it a try. It is a great platform that organizes our photos chronologically on our private page.)
Today we are going to highlight some photos we see on Flickr and on Instagram. You may recognize some of our photographers from Facebook. Whether you post on Flickr, Instagram or Facebook or all three, we want you to know, we "see" you and today we will honour a few artists who posted in the month of January.
In no particular order, the following photos have been chosen from Flickr and Instagram for this month's feature.
Debra MacPherson posted a beautifully composed photo of a rose for the prompt "Frost" on Flickr. Debra's photographs are always so inspiring!
Rebecca B submitted a lovely photo on Flickr for the prompt "Cozy Layers". It make you want to cozy up!
I came across a really interesting picture on Flickr submitted by Cia.S of some little pink houses all in a row for the prompt "repetition". I would love to see more photographs by Cia.S.
One of my favourite prompts this month was "Off the Beaten Path". Cheryl, who goes by tlcacres on Instagram went really far off the track with her amazing photograph of a little red truck.
"In my Bag" was a really fun prompt! I was intrigued by Julie's (julzbush) instagram post of her red purse photograph with its perfect POV!
Edit Stemler posted a cool photo on Flickr for "Through the Window". I would love to see more pictures by this photographer.
Lyly never disappoints with her unique takes on the prompts. Lyly submitted a stunning picture on Instagram of a glowing plant for "Backlit Seeds".
John (jcfotospr) captured some magnificent clouds for the prompt "Find your Focus".
For the prompt "Shatter", Tina Whitaker had a really great take on the prompt with her intriguing black and white photo. She posted it in Flickr. It has a great abstract feel to it!
"Tiny Landscape" was a super fun prompt! Sara, who goes by "onesmallfish365", knocked it out of the park with her landscape within a landscape which was posted on Instagram.
Everyone loves a fairy tale! Dolores, (dollyduff) delighted me with her take on the Fairy Tale prompt as seen on Instagram.
Yvonne (Yvonne Devereux) posted a very good photo for "Good" on Flickr. Her tulips are divine!
The backlighting was perfect for Christine's (nauticalexpressions) "Backlit Seeds" prompt which she posted on Instagram.
I am always so thrilled and excited to see Rhadonda's (rhadonda) creations on Instagram! Her response to the Old Kitchen Alchemy was perfect!
And last but not least, who wouldn't want to cozy up like Rebecca did (rebeccahutchinson868) with her cozy Uggs. Rebecca posts on instagram.
I hope you enjoyed seeing some pictures taken by our members that were posted on Instagram and on Flickr. Check out both platforms in order to see more photography by our amazing 365 Picture Today members. You might even want to give these platforms a try!
Keep posting! The journey toward your 365 Picture Today project is well on its way and you will love seeing your total year end project. It takes some time, it takes some effort, it takes a little hair pulling and sometimes it is easy peasy, but it is so worth it to share and engage with your fellow 365'ers. Stay tuned for February picks!
