Photo Scavenger Hunt - The one where it was still cold.
SOOC (Straight out of camera)

Sprouting

Do mushrooms "sprout"? Or do they just "grow"? I don't know the technical term, but I really wanted to use this picture in any case.
Isn't it Ironic?

Looks like Spring, doesn't it? Sunny, green, yummy homemade popsicles... isn't it ironic that it was NOT warm out? I needed some pictures for a project and we had to cut it short - we were cold.
Lazy

Cloud watching... lazy spring pastime. Sun through the clouds... A whale... a heart...
Smells Like Spring

Tree lined street in UT. It DID smell like spring. I was taking a step away from my usual high contrast exposure. Can you tell where the cars were that I had to "erase"? I used the clone tool in picnik. LOVE that tool.
I managed to finish the "Let's Go Exploring with a Camera" prompt this week, too. You can check this out over at The Kateye View. This week, we worked on visual contrast - which is usually done with high contrast lighting. There are tons of other types of visual contrast, however, which I never considered. So, here are some of the contrast shots I came up with:
Natural/Manmade

If you look in the background you can see the chain link fence behind all the foliage.
Natural/Manmade

Also Large versus Small maybe?
Curved/Straight

Also, Smooth/Rough or Vegetable/Mineral.
