Monthly scavenger hunt
I’m a member of a Monthly Scavenger Hunt group on Flickr. There are over 1600 members, so right now approx. 30,000 photos have been submitted (and more to come last minute). If you like scavenger hunts, you should join it too cause it’s really fun to be imaginative and creative.
For the month of August, there was an “s” theme using these words:
1. Sad
2. Scene of the crime
3. Scratch
4. Shaken not stirred
5. Shopgirl
6. Smile
7. Smuggling
8. Soda can
9. Someone taking a picture of you and vice versa
10. Someone wearing flip flops
11. Something smells
12. Sorry
13. Spaghetti
14. Spider
15. Stamp
16. Star
17. Step in and stand clear of closing doors
18. Street named after someone famous
19. Suit of armor
20. Swoon
Here are my 20 photos:

You take fantastic pictures with the camera. Have you always been able to do that or did someone teach you? I’m learning how to take decent digital pictures, so I was curious.

Thanks for your sweet comment
I’ve kind of learned from trial and error I guess. *Shrugs* I’ve always been obsessed with taking photos for years, so it just comes naturally. I did take photography in high school but I got an “F” in it because I walked out on my final exam. Perhaps that class helped my creativity a bit, but all we learned was how to take black and white photos with film and how to develop them by hand. I didn’t start taking color digital photography until late 2003. So this is still very new to me. Hopefully time will give me more experience and allow me to take better shots.
