I’m impressed by all of those with turnaround times that allow them to get their challenge photos up the day of, or the day after. I’m going to stick with one a week through the rest of October.
Have you seen the challenge participant list lately? It’s enormous! I love being part of something that has spread so far.
Day 1: Self-portrait
This happened to fall on a DITL day, so I was set up to take pictures already. Here I am a few moments after waking up. Checking my emails, Twitter, and Formspring as usual.
Day 2: What you wore today
I didn’t take this picture. We were late so I asked TH to take it. Earrings from Poland, white sweater form Nordstrom, JCrew dress that I thrifted a few weeks ago. I would like to get a new sweater without ruching on the sleeves to wear on top.
Day 3: Clouds (not clouds)
Maybe having a weather-dependent challenge for a day wasn’t a very good idea? It was fun to think about ways to capture the cloudless sky though.
Day 4: Something green
This picture made me think of this song.
Day 5: From a high angle
Thank you, apartment high in the air, for making this day so easy for me. The view of downtown out of our living room windows.
Day 6: From a low angle
We went to a U-pick farm and my friend climbed a tree to pick some apples for us. It provided the perfect opportunity to get my low angle shot for the day! I shot this at 1.4 with my 35mm lens.
Day 7: Fruit
I decided to try something that had more of a studio look to it for today’s shot (the apples come from yesterday’s adventures). Unfortunately my styling skills are extremely lacking. Maybe I can join a still-life style challenge next!
I would love to click over and look at your pictures if you’ll link to the specific post below. (I’ve been trying to keep up with them on Twitter but it’s a lot of people so it’s tough!)

I like the apple styling picture… Also, I love that you sleep with a eye mask!
Here’s my favorite of my own:

I’m doing the challenge, but I am posting my pictures everyday, so I don’t have a link to a specific post.

The outfit in that photo is super cute, btw. Also, love the shot of the leaves!

Well he is 8 inches taller than me, but you’re really seeing a difference because he was using the 35mm lens which emphasizes the height difference and distorts things a bit.

CUTE DRESS lady! I just got my camera in the mail a day or two ago so I couldn’t participate. Hopefully, since it’s so widespread, maybe there’ll be another challenge.

I’m loving the challenge so far. It’s good fun to play with my camera again; it’s sat in it’s case for WAY too long since we’ve been home from holidays!
You can see mine under the ‘Take a Picture’ tag I’m linking below: http://www.breathegently.com/search/label/Take%20a%20Picture

I have been procrastinating sending my package to you but I will try and send it Monday. There is something in there I think you will really like (you mentioned it in this post). Yey!

I’m impressed with your apple balancing skills! I’m putting my challenge photos on my blog, but they’re daily…no roundup like yours. It’s a fun challenge!

I love the styled apple photo! Maybe the only suggestion I have would be to make them…. shinier. Not sure how to achieve that, though!

I love your apple photo also! I haven’t blogged mine yet (putting them up tomorrow) but I’ve been keeping up on Flickr! http://www.flickr.com/photos/hernewleaf/sets/72157627796422092/ If you have a minute, I’d love your feedback. I’m absolutely still a beginner but I’m trying to attempt or learn something new with each photo!

I like what you did with the apples. I also love the colors on the concrete from the fall leaves.
