RSavoia - Week20 - Sports

savoiar posted a photo:

I have thousands of freeze action shots of my kids and their friends playing different sports. I have the funny faces, the collisions, the action.

I decided to go a different route this weekend for my sports shot and went for the motion. Probably could have panned it a bit better but I'm out of practice on panning.

RSavoia - Week19 - street photography

Not near any streets this week so I had to go to the archives (and not a great one at that).

My thoughts on street photography is that it's the life you see on the streets and should include a living being in the shot. Again, my interpretation.

I took this in Windsor where the hanging flowers caught my eye. Just as I framed, this guy stepped into the frame and was examining the board. Not the best but this is one of those ones I learned from and took away somethings I'd do better next time.

RSavoia - Week18 - weather

Of all the weeks to have a weather theme, we wind up with the most boring weather week possible. No rain, no storms, not even a drizzle. Today, on a gorgeous spring day, while waiting for my son's game to start, I was left with a representation of wind.....Here's hoping next week is better!

RSavoia - Week17 - Green

Fading green. Taken at an abandoned factory near where my son was playing soccer today. I decided to go towards older and faded than bright and verdant.

RSavoia - Week14 - texture-1

savoiar posted a photo:

Fairly obvious subject. :) My kids (my weekly judges) thought I should have submitted the other texture picture I had (part of an old house). I liked this one.

RSavoia - Week13 - balloon

savoiar posted a photo:

"No! My balloon!!" Heard this one a few times with my kids over the years.

I had my daughter hold a balloon and let it go, trying to time the shot as she let go and the air came out. I put my flash on a stand and to get a little motion and then tried for a nostalgia-ish look.

RSavoia - Week12 - Planted

Once she's planted, she's not going anywhere she doesn't want to! It's amazing how much force an 18lb Cockapoo can create!

Not much planted around New England yet and as I was walking the dog looking for something, she wanted to go one way and I wanted to go another. When she 'plants', she's not moving!

RSavoia-week11 - Where I live

The South Natick Dam on the Charles River with the Bacon Free Library in the background. Place of picnics, prom photos, artists and one of the features of our town.

This is 60 seconds of "up" on the London Eye. Taken around 9:30pm. Unfortunately, had to hit the archives this week as work is providing me zero free time.

RSavoia-week4 - In My Glass

savoiar posted a photo:

Most of what was in my glass this week was usually not in there long enough to take a picture of it!

So for this week, I used my other glass and set my sights on next weeks theme.
