INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the 2nd year of creative images from the Group of 7.  You can enjoy last year's posts by clicking on Group Challenge 2016.



JANUARY - A SENSE OF SPACE

DECEMBER -  CAMERA MOTION 

For the non-photographer viewers, these images were all done through camera motion, i.e., 'jiggling', zooming, or panning  the camera  while the shutter is clicked.  The results are awesome (however, it usually takes about 20 or so tries before you get a result that you like).
NOVEMBER - MONOCHROME

OCTOBER - IMBALANCE


SEPTEMBER - BLUE


AUGUST - DETAIL

JULY - PHOTOGRAPHER'S CHOICE (OR SUMMER)

The 3 non-travellers this month, ie Kas, Joe and me, chose Summer as the theme.  Judy & Carm were on the east coast of Canada/US while Julian & Maggie were in Peru, so we are treated with topics relevant to their travels.



     SUMMER - Diane, Kas & Joe
     FOG - Carm
     LATE DAY LIGHT - Judy
    HIGHLIGHTS OF PERU - Maggie
     PEOPLE OF PERU - Julian
JUNE - DECREPIT

And the winning entry for most decrepit image goes to Kas' foot!  :)



MAY - DRAMATIC LIGHT
APRIL - ABSTRACTS
MARCH - SHAPES

Very creative group of images!  And a number of them are abstracts, which is next month's topic.


FEBRUARY - BUILDING STUDY

Eclectic group of images.  My selection is Sts. Cyril & Methodius Ukrainian Catholic Church.  I was grateful that I was invited  to photograph the interior.  Maggie's group represents buildings from 4 different islands on their Caribbean cruise;  Carm and Judy's are primarily of churches and temples; Kas has a sequence from The Grainery in Halifax; Julian's are of 
a study of an inside of an eclectic building - the Gallery Inn - San Juan, Puerto Rico (https://juliansalephotography.smugmug.com/Web-Albums/Gallery-Inn-San-Juan/ ); and last, but not least, Joseph presents a barn study from Halton.
JANUARY - WINTER

January 2017 was certainly a challenge for a "winter" theme given the  lack of snow replaced by gray skies, rain and foggy conditions.  But, as this collection of images show, we all met the challenge with creativity.
