Fox Five Photo Challenge!

I'm so excited to be doing the Fox Five Photo Challenge for the very first time! While you're reading this, I'm currently shooting my very first horse show and I can't wait till I can come home and see all the pretty pictures you guys took! Without further ado...

Feathers

I love feathers! I have tons of feather earrings and feather hair clips. These are my favorite feathered earrings currently.

Purple

I've had this amethyst since I was a little girl and found it on an overnight stay in Mt. Charleston. It's one of my most treasured things simply because of the nostalgia it holds.

Coffee

If you expected anything other then a Starbucks picture then you should probably know better by now.

Animal

I had to use an old one here since my camera took so long to get back from cleaning (and it's still not even clean so I'll need to find a new place) however this may be my favorite picture from my trip to Oregon in February. 

Pasta

I tried out this new cheesy gnocchi recipe off pinterest and it was really good! I think I might use my grandma's secret recipe for sauce next time to make it top notch!

How did you like the first edition of the photo challenge? Any suggestions on what you would like to see different? 

I would love for you guys to send me suggestions for future prompts! The linky will be open for the next few days so make sure and link up!

Next weeks prompts are:

1. High Heels

2. Love

3. Music

4. Sassy

5. Books

Also, if you're wondering how I took such bright and clear pictures, check out this tutorial I wrote about early for a DIY Lightbox!

Introducing.... Fox Five Photo Challenge!

I've always loved photo challenges. They are my major inspiration when it comes to blogging and trying out new techniques with photography. One of my favorites is Scavenger Hunt Sunday (which I've been participating in for a looong time) and I must admit is my biggest inspiration for this. It only made logical sense to take the next step and host my own after years of participating in them. 

After doing a little research, I realized that Saturdays had the least amount of photo sharing/challenges and after much thinking I finally settled on something I'm happy with and stoked about.

I'm so happy to introduce Fox Five Photo Challenge to be hosted every Saturday by moi! There are five prompts (hence fox five) and you'll have a week to photograph your creative aspect of each prompt. I'll be hosting a linky/blog hop for everyone to link up their beautiful photos which will be open for a few days. Photography skill does not matter, what's important is to have a good time and share your work with others. 

So without further ado, here are next week's prompts! These are based on a few of my favorite things.

1. Feathers

2. Purple

3. Coffee

4. Animal(s)

5. Pasta

Nothing too tough for the first time. So make sure you come back next Saturday and link up! I can't wait to see what everyone will do. Also, if you have suggestions for prompts then feel free to email me. If I use your prompts then I'll be more than happy to link your blog and give you the credit. Oh and please spread the word, the more the merrier!
