In Your Own Backyard
The results from the “In Your Own Backyard†Photography Blog Project are in and the turn out for such a short time frame was great. Thanks to all that entered.
Since initiating the project on November 9th I’ve discovered and rediscovered some great photographers. Getting a chance to virtually meet fellow photographers and learn a little more about where they live has been an honor. To those that submitted thanks again for taking the time to participate.
In Your Own Backyard
Old Steel Garden Furniture by Dion van Huyssteen – DV Photo
“The photo is of some ancient steel garden furniture in my parents backyard.”
A Suburban Morning by Steven Vore – Steven’s Notebook
“I took a camera to work (my office is 2 miles from my home, so I’m still within the “5 mile” rule), and about 11am went for a walk to see what I could see. On one side of the parking lot were all the colors of fall, with some green still peeking through the yellows and greens. On the other side, construction; torn, brown and ugly.”

The Birds by libeco – LiBeCo
“Since we have a birdfeeder in our backyard a lot of birds visit us, which
gave me an opportunity to take some pictures.”
That Country Feeling by Tam – First Time Critic *Open To Critique*
“I’m open to critique, but I know this image isn’t the best. It is
however the best photo I’ve taken in terms of representing the area I
live in.”

“My oldest playing the game he enjoys: Youth Tennis.”

Trains to Mars… I, II, III, IV and V by Mannii – Trains to Mars…

culture. Throw in occasional urban spaces, and a few bullet trains for a
perfect mix – called Morioka, Japan”

Storm Cell at Sunset by Sandy Redding – dot.double:dot
“We seldom get storms here. Only five inches or so of rain per year. There’s
a nice outcropping of rocks not far from my house that has a good view of
the desert and the Sierra Nevada range in the distance. The lightning was
flashing as the storm approached us. I stayed as long as I dared, but
eventually had to retreat.”

So in case you missed it, or if this is the first you’ve heard of it, here are the results from those who participated. The act of taking photos within close proximity to your house is a good exercise — it really makes you think and get creative because the things we see everyday can seem mundane and uninteresting to us.
