Regular Random – Five Minutes with a Tiny Bouquet

I picked up this tiny bouquet at the grocery store this weekend. The bright colors were calling out to me and I instantly decided it would be the perfect post for Desley Jane’s Regular Random challenge. I hadn’t participated in a while so this was the perfect time to rectify my absence.

The rules are to pick an item and without disturbing the subject, spend five minutes taking shots with different lighting and angles.

Regular Random – Five Minutes with a 1931 Model A

Here are the rules for this challenge –

Choose a subject or a scene and spend five minutes photographing it using different lighting and angles without interfering with the subject. Use the tags “regular random” and “five minutes”.

While visiting mom this weekend I was able to take a walk through the Farmers Market held every Saturday. I have lots of photos to share but this post features a 1931 Ford Model A owned by one of the vendors.

Bob says his father wanted a Model A when they were first manufactured but it wasn’t until 1934 that he purchased one. He and his wife were traveling to the mountains of North Carolina for apples and saw the car on the side of the road with a “for sale” sign. His father bought it and the car passed to Bob in 1969. It’s driven regularly and the top speed is 55MPH.

Wouldn’t you love to take a spin in it?

Regular Random – Five Minutes with a Scarf

Desley Jane hosts this challenge each week. The rules are to pick a subject and photograph it for five minutes without moving the subject. Try to use different angles, lighting, etc.

I love this “heart” scarf and thought it would look really pretty with a candy bowl I borrowed from work. I’m working on another post with the bowl and lighting so watch for that one later.

What could be more fun than puzzles with my grandson? We “oinked”, “woofed”, “clucked” and “neighed” all weekend with some “choo choos” and “vroom, vrooms” thrown in too.

Regular Random – Five Minutes – Flowers on a Grave

The rules for this challenge are:

Choose a subject or a scene and spend five minutes photographing it using different angles and lighting.

On my way home from work the other day, I had a sudden impulse to stop by the cemetery near my home. I don’t have any family or friends buried there (at least I don’t think so) but it’s calming to walk through and the chapel and grounds are absolutely beautiful.

And for once, I was able to stick with the five minute time limit for this challenge – but only because it was so humid outside!

Regular Random – Five Minutes with Color

Here are the rules:

Pick an item or scene and photograph it for five minutes using different angles and light.

I do not have a green thumb so I can’t believe that I actually went out and bought several plants for my back porch. But I’d love to get more bee and butterfly captures so hubby and I went off to the garden store.

Orange Coneflower 2

I’ve fallen in love with coneflowers – I think their umbrella shape is beautiful. I also bought trailing verbena, dianthus and lantana.

So here’s hoping that the bees and butterflies will find their way to my door – and that my new plants survive the summer under my care.

Five Minutes – Regular Random

Desley Jane hosts Regular Random each week. The rules are:

Choose an object or scene and shoot for five minutes using different angles and lighting and try not to interfere with it once it’s set up. I confess – I have problems sticking to five minutes but I did with this post.

These are photos of my home office where momaskedmeforarecipe.com, photographyinpearls.com and photographyinpearls.photoshelter.com come together. On my desk is an encyclopedia of birds and one for flowers (I really want to know what I’ve just captured!) as well as several photography books and different cookbooks. (The flower on the monitor is a plumeria.)
