Group Challenges # 5

Welcome back!  I'm posting our latest group challenge, this week's topic: Motion!  Michelle joined us again for this weeks challenge.  The 3 of us all took a different approach to showing motion.  Mindy used her camera to cause the motion, I used my flash to freeze part of the frame (before I broke) and then the rest shows up in motion & Michelle picked the worst day last week to go out and shoot traffic on 172 coming and going into Green Bay.

Group Challenges # 3

Here we are with another Group Challenge.  This weeks topic, Something Borrowed.  This week, Michelle & Brett joined in again.  Mindy's image captures an antique chair that was borrowed for the shoot.  I captured Emily (sister-in-law) enjoying coffee out on the deck in a borrowed men's dress shirt & reading a borrowed book.  Brett's is the money shot, haha!Michelle shot some books at the Public Library. Onto the pics!

Group Challenges # 2

Hello again!  Welcome to Group Challenge # 2, this week topic is: OLD.  Everyone took a very different approach to this topic.  That is the lovely thing about having a vague topic, it brings out all sorts of different pictures.  Brett & Michelle joined us again this week along with a new comer, Tony Wauters who recently just got into the DSLR game, so watch him grow as a photographer.  Brief description of the shots, Mindy went to a car show in Delafield (jealous!), I shot my mother's old 35mm Minolta camera (which after playing with it, I'd love to try shooting sometime), Brett went to Heritage Hill Park, Michelle shot her Grandmother's Wedding Dress and Tony shot his down in Kohler, WI.

Group Challenges # 1

Hello all!  We have changed up our normal weekly challenge to include some friends of ours that have been bitten by the Photog-bug as well.  This is not a contest, it is just a bunch of friends shooting the same topic from different perspectives to keep our creativity flowing & to help one another advance.  Our first group topic is, BLUE!  As you will see, everyone took a different approach to this and all came out with different but stunning pictures.  You can go to Brett Nooyen's site & check out some of his other shots.  And Michelle Allard joined in as well, who was so grateful to borrow me her wide-angle lens for my last car shoot I just did.  Enough of the talking, I know you are here to see pictars, so here you go:

Challenge Topic #12

Time for another challenge!  The topic was...nature/wildlife...and it was a little spur of the moment.  Tyler and I decided to go to the Wild Life Sanctuary in Green Bay.  Of course we brought our cameras along and once we got there we thought it would be the perfect place to practice and take on a challenge.  We yet again captured two very different images...hope you enjoy them!

Challenge Topic - # 11

So we are finally back with another challenge topic!  We will try to do these every week again now but we have been doing more "shoots" lately so we have less time to focus on our challenges.  Mindy also got a new computer YAH!!!! So she is back in business.  This weeks topic is SKY.  Mindy got a fantastic shot of the storm rolling in the other day and I shot the clouds at sunset off the beach in Au Train, Mi.

Weekly Challenge - Week 10

Welcome back, hopefully everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend & no one lost any appendages haha!  Mindy still hasn't gotten a new computer, so shes not able to upload/edit pix lately unless she gets to use my computer.  This week we planned around the 4th, and decided on Fireworks.  This was really fun to shoot and something a bit different and challenging at the same time.

Hopefully we'll be able to get back up and doing these challenges more often, but stay tuned!  Thanks for checking it out.

Weekly Challenge - Week 9 - Violet

Hello again, our Weekly Challenge updates are being pushed farther apart then we'd like but there are usually good reasons behind this.  Last week we didn't take time to do a challenge as we did another photoshoot for Tony & Amanda which you can check out on our Facebook page:  www.facebook.com/mintyfotos.  Then shortly after that, Min's editing computer crashed (good thing nothing was lost).  Any how, we will do these as often as we can when we both find time to get together on this.  This weeks topic is Violet.  Firs thing that popped in both of our shots... Flowers haha.

Tyler's:

Thanks for looking!  Be sure to check back soon, we have a baby shoot coming up next week, so you won't want to miss precious little Aryanna!

Weekly Challenge - Week 7

We are back with our 7th weekly challenge.  This weeks topic is: Vintage.  It was suggested by a friend.  Both Mindy and I struggled to wrap our heads around what this truly meant.  We both were thinking "post processing" vintage look, but that wasn't what the topic was really about.  This topic will be revisited, so be kind... here they are:

Stay tuned, to see what other photoshoot's we have been up too!

Weekly Challenge - Week 6

For our Week 6 Challenge, our randomizer came up with the topic of: Macro.  Those of you unfamiliar with this, Macro photography is a type of close-up photography usually of very small objects.  They do make quite a few Macro specific lenses that will get you some crazy shots, but neither of us have such a lens so we just winged it.

Next week we will be attempting our first challenge topic submitted to us by a friend, so stay tuned!
