Lens Artists Challenge – #86 – Treasure Hunt

Posted on February 24, 2020 by Mama Cormier

….thanks to Travels and Trifles for this week’s theme

This week’s theme is very long and detailed so I’m cutting and pasting the instructions here:

This week we’re going on a Treasure Hunt! The challenge is to search for specific items – either from your archives or newly captured – from the list below. Extra credit items are a bit more challenging. Focus on quality over quantity and hit us with your best shot(s)!

Challenge Items: Sunrise and/or sunset, Something cold and/or hot, a bird, a dog, a funny sign, a bicycle, a seascape and/or mountain landscape, a rainbow, a church, a musical instrument, a boat, a plane, a waterfall
Extra Credit Items: An expressive portrait of one or more people, a very unusual place, knitting or sewing, a fish, an animal you don’t normally see, a bucket, a hammer, a street performer, a double rainbow, multiple challenge items in a single image. My opening image, for example, includes a sunrise, a seascape and birds in a single shot. See how easy it is?! 😀

My favourite portrait of my granddaughter.

Water with light reflection and sunset were excellent.

Terrific post with many treasures. I love your closing image especially. It looks almost like a vintage scene from the 1800s. Would love to see it in B&W

  Thanks Tina. I would never have thought of doing the last photo in black and white. I’ll give it a try.
