Sunday Shutterbugs

Week 6 of RANDOM

2012-02-12T23:49:00.000-08:00

Edie's Photo: I am not sure if Corinna will be posting this week so I am going to go ahead and post mine. I found a photo challenge group on Facebook and from time to time I might be using those photos to post here.

Week 5 of RANDOM

2012-02-06T00:11:00.000-08:00

Sorry about missing last week's post everyone. Corinna had a family emergency. She may not be posting any photos over the next couple of weeks. Please keep her in your thoughts.

Here is my RANDOM for this week. This is a picture from the El Toro Marine Base. They have part of the base open and I was able to take pics of some of the run down buildings.

** I suggest clicking on the photo to see it bigger. For some reason it appears a bit blurry in the smaller format.

Week 4 of total RANDOM

2012-01-22T22:19:00.000-08:00

Edie's Photo: It rained a lot this weekend so I decided to take advantage of the situation and get out my macro lens and practice a bit. Still need to work on it some, Im not thrilled with the depth of field. (click on the photo to make it bigger and it won't look as blurry...dont know why Blogger is doing that on the smaller photo)

Corinna's photo: I was so excited that I got to be a part of my nephew surprising his girlfriend with a marriage proposal! It was our first time meeting and he asked her at a family dinner.

Week 3 photos

2012-01-15T22:11:00.000-08:00

Is everyone having fun with the total RANDOM photos? Is it getting you to look for photo opportunities more? Don't forget if you don't have a blog to post your photos on that's ok... just "like us" on Facebook and you can post your photos there. :)

Edie's Photo: I have to admit I REALLY like this random thing. I took a 2 hour walk today and just took shots as I saw them without having to worry about it fitting a theme or topic. I actually ended up with a few photos I was happy with. Here is one of those photos:

Week 2 Photos

2012-01-08T23:49:00.000-08:00

Hello all..

How did you like our Facebook page? Have you clicked like on us yet? If not, then what are you waiting for? :) Don't forget the Facebook page is perfect for those of you without a blog or means of posting your photo here. You can also feel free to leave comments on any of our photos as well.

Can't wait to see what photos you post this week.

Edie's Photo: My sister just recently had a baby and most of my time this week was spent helping her out. So naturally most of the photos I took this week were of the baby. This is one of my favorites. I love how big his yawn gets. :)

Happy New Year! 01/01/2012

2012-01-01T19:02:00.000-08:00

Ok, Sunday Shutterbugs is back and ready to start of 2012 with a bang! We have some big changes in store for this year that we hope you all will like.

The first change... Sunday Shutterbugs now has their own Facebook page! We realized that a lot of people still don't blog so it may make it hard for everyone to share their photos here. However, almost everyone has a Facebook account. We hope by setting up a Facebook page we can get more people to share their photos and participate in our weekly updates. We will continue to put our main photos up here, and for those of you who have a blog you are welcome to add a link to your photos in the comment section if you like. We also hope that the Facebook page might be a great way to spread the word about our little site so again, we can get more people participating and having fun with photos.

The second change.. The last two years Sunday Shutterbugs has based their photos off of a theme of some sort. Well this year, we will not be doing "themes. Although Corinna and I had fun with the theme ideas, there were some weeks where the theme didn't float our boat. Some felt more like a bad homework assignment and less like a fun creative project. We figured that if we were feeling this way, then there is a chance that others might be feeling that way as well.. so bye bye theme weeks.

Hmm so what are we going to be taking pictures of then? Whatever we want! They are going to be totally random photos of anything whatever we want. One week might be a sunset photo, the next might be a interesting shot of a kitchen tool, and the one after that might be of one of our kids blowing out candles on their birthday cake. The same applies to the photos that you guys post.. they can be ANYTHING you want. The only stipulations we have are 1) that they are taken during the previous week and 2) that the subject matter be suitable for all audiences and 3) that people limit their photos to 1 per week.

So without further ado here is our first photos of 2012... We hope everyone likes the changes and plays along with us! :)

Edie's photo:

** I found a cool challenge online that I decided to try. They suggested going to your back yard, or room, or picking a place in a park and just sit for 10 minutes. Don't take any photos, just sit and think about what you might want to take a photo of. Then you have 5 minutes to take pictures of that item or object. I went to my back patio, which honestly is not that pretty. On the patio we have our daughters bike sitting there so I came up with the idea of taking photos from different angles and stuff. I probably would not have thought of taking such a photo had I not done the challenge.

Edie's photo:

October theme LINES - week 2

2011-10-11T21:35:00.000-07:00

Edie's Photo: I will admit I took this one a few weeks ago before we picked our assignment. However I found it so fitting for our theme I had to use it.

Corinna's photo: I was actually hanging out waiting to get a photo of the sunrise, when I saw how the fog was making lines above the field of beans! Thought it was cool so here it is!

October theme - LINES week 1

2011-10-06T21:34:00.000-07:00

Yes, yes I know we did lines last week and it was September. Well we like the theme a lot, and lines is such a wide open category that the photo possibilities are endless. So we decided why not keep it around for October too? So that's what we are doing this month. As always feel free to leave your comments and links to your LINES photos in the comments. We would love to see what you do.

Edie's LINES :

Corinna's Lines: Just an FYI, Edie and I totally do NOT discuss what our photos are going to be ahead of time! So once in a while this happens, and I LOVE it!

Please share a link to your photo in the comments section! We would love to see!

September's theme - LINES

2011-09-25T11:35:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! We're still here. We're just total slackers with both of us having medical issues in our households in the past couple of months. But we're back on track now and ready to get started with a new theme. This month will be LINES.

July week four: theme AMERICA

2011-07-26T21:42:00.000-07:00

Here is our week 4 America shots. Looks like July is a odd month in that we have 5 weekends, so we will be continuing with the America theme one more week. :)

Corinna's photo:

July week three - theme AMERICA

2011-07-18T22:41:00.000-07:00

Here is our week 3 photos for our AMERICA/AMERICAN theme. Hope you all our having fun spotting what symbolizes "America" to you.

Corinna's photo:

July week two: theme AMERICA

2011-07-10T21:17:00.002-07:00

I know I know... we posted the first week's take on the theme just yesterday and now we are posted the second week's take today. What can I say, this has been a crazy busy July so far.

Edie's AMERICA: My daughter and I went to a little boy's bday party today and they did the whole party up with an Army theme. These little guys were in the gift bag we got to take home. I would have much rather posted a photo showing off some of our brave men & women soldiers but unfortunately I did not get a chance to take any. So these little army men will have to do for this week's shot.

Corinna's AMERICA:

July week one: theme AMERICA

2011-07-10T21:17:00.000-07:00

Happy Summer everyone! We are focusing this months theme on AMERICA.. or AMERICAN. We figured it was an appropriate theme considering what month it is. There are lots of possibilities with this theme.. you could go with things that are red, white and blue, you could find things that people associate with America, or find things that symbolize what "America" is to you. The sky is the limit on this one!

Here is our photo from last week:

Edie's Photo:

I'm still learning when it comes to taking photos of fireworks. To me, fireworks symbolizes the 4th of July, which is of course is the celebration of America's independence.

June theme: ANIMALS week four

2011-07-04T13:04:00.000-07:00

Here it is, our last ANIMAL photo for the month of June. Show us what animals were near you this week.

Edie's Photo:

Corinna's Photo: Just want to say I really didn't start out this theme thinking my photo would be a dog every week! They just happened to be in my environment lately. And who could resist? Look at those eyes...

June theme: ANIMALS week three

2011-06-22T21:03:00.000-07:00

Here are our week 3 ANIMAL photos. Don't forget too add a comment and include a link to your blog/website if you are playing along with us.

Edie's Photo: Ok.. I realize this is not a LIVE animal shot, but we were cleaning out my daughter's room this weekend and I found these animals. They were one of her most played with toys when she was younger. So this is my interpretation of the word this week. :)

Corinna's photo:

Please leave links to your photos in the comments section so we can come see what your animals look like!

June's theme: ANIMALS week two

2011-06-12T20:42:00.000-07:00

Did you spot some animals near you last week? Think you might spot some more this week? Well if you do, make sure you post links to your photos here. Corinna and I would love to see what you found.

Edie's Photo: I know my subject is not what you would call a "pretty" animal, but hey it's still an animal and an animal that I had to actually drive for 30 minutes to get to. lol

Corinna's photo:

Please jump in and participate by leaving a link to your photo in the comments box so we can come see yours too!

June's theme: ANIMALS week one

2011-06-08T23:54:00.000-07:00

Ready for a new theme? We got a broad category for you this month..... ANIMAL! Just think of the possibilities.. bugs, bears, cats, dogs, horses, hippos, snakes, fish, etc etc etc. The list can just go on and on and on.

Here are the photos Corinna and I took. As you can see we both took pictures of a particular class of animals. Can't wait to see what the rest of you came up with!

April's theme: WATER week 2

2011-04-18T09:03:00.001-07:00

Yeah, we know it should really be week three, but we had some issues last weekend and didn't get our photos posted. Edie is having some computer troubles right now, so it's just going to be Corinna this week.
Here you go:

Corinna's Photo:

Edie's Photo : ok my hard drive is up and running so I am going to go ahead and leave the photo I took last weekend. :)

I hope you all will leave a link for us in the comments and lead us to your water photos so we can see them!

April's theme : WATER week 1 photos

2011-04-06T00:07:00.000-07:00

April showers bring..... WATER. At least I hope we get some showers this month, because it would be a good way to get some photos for this month's theme, which is WATER. But don't let the lack of storms in your area prevent you from taking some photos because there is water everywhere we look. So take a peek near you and see what WATER images you can find.

March theme NATURE -- week two

2011-03-13T21:48:00.000-07:00

I don't know about you guys, but Sunday Shutterbugs LOVES when we Spring ahead an extra hour. Yes we lose 1 hrs worth of sleep, but having more daylight hours for our photography is well worth it.

Here is our 2nd week with the Nature theme. How are you all doing so far this month? Have you been able to find some nature near you? If you have, make sure you leave a comment with a link to your blog or photo gallery. Unfortunately Mr Linky gave us some issues so we will no longer be able to use them. Can't wait to see everyones photos!

March's theme - NATURE - week one

2011-03-07T00:37:00.000-08:00

2011-03-02T00:21:00.001-08:00

Here it is, the last RED week for February. Did you all have fun playing along? Did you see any cool red things near you? Take a look at our last images for RED and let us know what you come up with.

February's theme: RED week three

2011-02-20T23:13:00.000-08:00

We are halfway thru our RED them for the month. I bet a lot of you saw RED this last week, especially on Valentine's day. We are loving the submissions we are getting! Just keep them coming!

Here are our photos for this week.

Edie's photo:

February's theme: RED week two

2011-02-15T22:54:00.000-08:00

We're back..... time for our 2nd round of photos with the theme of RED. As you can see Corinna and I took two totally different approaches to the photo this week.

As always, anyone is welcome to play along. Just post the photo to a online gallery we can look at, or your blog and then add your comment below. We would LOVE to see what is RED in your area.

Corinna's Photo:

Edie's Photo:

Ok I will admit, I was REALLY inspired by Corinna's hershey kiss photo from the week before. I will also admit that this was a "last minute" photo for me... I had tried a few other ideas and then didnt work out. So I tried Corinna's idea, got a few good shots and went with it. :)

February's theme - RED week one

2011-02-10T18:07:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the delay.. Corinna and I were debating on the theme for this month for a bit. We decided to go with a theme that matched this month, since February is the month of love, hearts, flowers and candy. The theme we went with is RED... as in the color red.

Show us what is RED near you.

Corinna's Photo: I debated about posting this photo because my hubby (who taught me a LOT of what I know about photography) said it was blurry when I showed it to him. But that's what I actually like about it! LOL I like that it has this soft dreamy quality about it.

Edie's Photo: In case you are wondering I don't have any fancy studio equipment. (though I wish I did) This photo was taken right on the kitchen table with my awful kitchen light on overhead. What helped make this photo look better is 1) 2 pieces of white foam board/photo board for the surface and background area and 2) using my desk lamp as my "studio light" and thus fixing the icky kitchen lighting I had. It's something that anyone can do. :)

January's theme SHAPES week 5

2011-01-31T22:34:00.000-08:00

Ok this is the last week for our SHAPE theme. February we will be starting a new theme with new photo ideas. Remember you can post as many photos as you like in the comments just as long as they pertain to the theme. The more photos the better. :)

Corinna's photo:

Edie's photo:

I almost didn't think this photo was going to happen. It was raining the entire day, and then towards the end of the day the sun finally poked it's head through the clouds. I had actually intended on taking photos of what I thought were some geometric fountains and sculptures near by, but either my memory is bad, or they changed the sculptures since I was there last. So I went with my 2nd choice which was this building with its many rectangular windows, and the curvy landscaping out front.

January's Theme SHAPES week 4

2011-01-25T23:05:00.000-08:00

Sorry about the late post friends. Edie came down with a really bad flu bug that knocked her out for most of last week.

Here are the photos we came up with for our 4th week of SHAPE. We have ONE more week left with this theme. Are you enjoying finding shapes near you?

Corinna's Photo:

Edie's Photo:

January's Theme: SHAPES Week 3

2011-01-16T23:17:00.001-08:00

We are 3 weeks into the new year already and we are 3 weeks into our first theme of the year. Have you been having fun looking for shapes? Did you turn up any interesting or unique shapes near you? Can't wait to see what you have found.

Edie's Photo:

Ok I finally went on a walk, but it was a brief one. I had lost track of time and realized that the sun was going down in 30 minutes so I ran over to the local park to see what kind of shapes were there. Parks with playground sets are great places to find interesting shapes.

This is a picture of a spiral pole slide thing. I actually laid on the ground, got myself mostly under the thing, and shot the picture looking up at the sky. I think the kids in the park thought I was crazy but hey I just had to get the shot. :) I wish my depth of field would have been more "in focus" but unfortunately there wasn't too much light left in the day so I had to open my aperture up as big as it could go, which then cuts down on the depth of field that is in focus. This was taken as ISO 3200. My camera can go higher, but then I start getting a grainy appearance so I try to avoid pushing it any further.

Corinna's Photo: I think this wall has a lot of interesting shapes. If you look at it one second, you can see a butterfly or flower, but if you look again you can see a circle, and then there are lots of individual shapes making up the larger ones.

January's Theme: SHAPES Week 2

2011-01-11T20:47:00.000-08:00

Well it looks like some of you are playing along with us! We really enjoy looking at everyone's take on the theme, so keep them coming.

This week is week 2 for our SHAPE theme. Don't worry if you didn't get a chance to post your photo last week. Remember this is a month long theme. You can post a new photo every week, or you can post a new photo every two weeks or you can post one once a month. You can even post two photos in the same week. It's whatever works best for you.

Corinna and I will continue to post a new photo every week. Here are our takes on SHAPES this week.

Edie's Photo:

Ok I will admit, the weekend got away from me and before I could blink Monday was here and I still had not taken any photo yet. Luckily we still have our Christmas decorations up and I was able to use some of those as props for some possible "shape" photos. This one is a set of jingle bells that we have hanging from our front door. Once again I took out my trusty old macro lens for this shot. I'm going to try next week to do a non-macro shot. I promise.

Corinna's photo:

My dear old dad stopped by this morning on his way home from work (he works night shift) and drank a beer. Well, I never cleaned up the bottle and later in the afternoon I noticed the sun streaming through the window and lighting the bottle up and thought it was kinda cool so decided to use that as my SHAPE photo!

Leave us your links to your photos in the comments box please!

January's theme: SHAPES Week 1

2011-01-02T21:22:00.001-08:00

Here it is.. the first MONTH long theme for 2011 for Sunday Shutterbugs. (you can go here to read more about the changes) This month the theme is SHAPES.

There are shapes ALL around us both indoors and outdoors. They can be soft or hard. They can be square or round. They can be man made or something you find in nature. All you need to do is find some that look interesting and post one.

Don't forget this is a MONTH long theme. So even if you post one this week you can come back and post a new totally different SHAPE photo next week.

Can't wait to see what you guys come up with. Oh... and make sure you post something in the comments that directs us to your photo. For some reason we can't use Mr Linky the same way we did last year.

Edie's Photo:

I had every intention of going on a nice long walk and finding some shapes near my home. However just as I stepped out my door it started raining. Luckily I have this plate that is right outside so I stayed in the rain for 5 minutes taking some photos. The cool thing is that since this is a month long theme I can still go on that walk in the next week and see what other shapes I can come up with.

New Year! New Set of Shutterbug Challenges

2011-01-02T21:21:00.000-08:00

Well as you can see it has been awhile since Corinna and I posted anything to this site. It's not because we didn't want to, though. Life just got a bit busy for us the last month of the year so we decided to take a little break from the blog and spent the time focusing on our families and all the necessary holiday stuff.

Now that the holidays are over and a new year is upon us, Corinna and I are ready to start posting challenges to Sunday Shutterbugs again. This year, however, we are changing things up. First of all, we are not going with an A-Z theme anymore. The A-Z themes were fun, but to be honest there were a few letters where it was just dang hard to come up with something. Also, some of the themes were very limiting in terms of what we can do, and we know if they were limiting us, they must also be limiting to you guys as well.

The other thing we are changing up is the length of time for each theme. You would think that one week would be a long enough time period to take ONE theme picture, and on some occasions it was just enough time to complete the theme. However because of our jobs, our families, the weather, the shorter winter days there were many weeks we found ourselves scrambling until the very end and ending up with only a couple of decent shots. Then there were weeks where we wish the theme could have continued longer because the theme was so broad or so inspiring, that it was tough to narrow it down to just one photo. In general we just needed more time.

Therefore, from here on out Shutterbugs is doing MONTH LONG themes! Corinna and I will pick a nice general theme to do every month. The themes can be anything, it's just a matter of whatever floats our boat for the month, but the themes will be very broad with plenty of possibilities. We will still be posting photos every WEEK, and we will still be posting a NEW photo every SUNDAY. So this means that we each will be posting a total of 4 photos relating to the theme.

Hopefully this change will give us (and you) a chance to really play with the theme and explore the possibilities, and make it so it's easier for everyone to participate. :)

Week of 11/14 to 11/20/2010 - W is for WIND

2010-11-15T23:44:00.000-08:00

Corinna's Photo:

We happened to drive past a new windmill farm that went on for miles and miles in either direction and I thought they were beautiful. But I really thought they were beautiful when we passed them again in the evening just as the sun was setting.

Please just leave your links to share your photos in the comments section!

Week of 11/07 to 11/14/10 - W is for WATER

2010-11-07T20:18:00.000-08:00

Can you believe we are on W now?? We have just W,X,Y,Z left and then we start with a new year, and a new set of challenges.

Our first theme for W is WATER... which luckily is in plentiful supply around us.

Corinna's Photo: I was hiking in a county conservation park near our home and at one point crossed over this little babbling brook! I really liked the line in this shot, how the water current makes a zig-zag.

Edie's Photo: The original photo I had in mind for the theme this week was completely different than what I am showing here. I had planned on taking out my good old macro lens and play with some water drops. However an impromptu trip to the beach with a friend gave me a perfect opportunity to take a different type of water photo all together. A photo that you "big picture" people might appreciate more ;)

Please just leave your links in the comments section for us to come over and see your photos!

Week of 10/31 to 11/06 - V is for VIOLET

2010-10-31T23:28:00.001-07:00

Don't forget, we are no longer able to use Mr. Linky. So just go ahead and comment on the photos and leave a link there.

Corinna's Photo:

I know most of you will take your photos of violet in regards to color or perhaps flower, but MY Violet is my daughter's cat! She's named after the girl Violet in the Disney movie "The Incredibles." :)

Edie's Photo:

Week of 10/24 to 10/31 - V is for VIEW

2010-10-25T23:39:00.000-07:00

This one is pretty self explanatory. Shows us something with a VIEW!

This was taken about 15 minutes from my home. You would never know by looking at this pic though that the beach is only 30 minutes away, and that quite a few highly populated cities are less than 5 minutes away.

Corinna's photo:

I was in Chicago Sunday, so a perfect opportunity for a "view" photo. This view is from the 94th floor observation deck of the John Hancock Building, and it is spectacular. It was a very cloudy day, or I'm sure it would have been prettier. They say on a clear day you actually see 4 states from up there. You don't even see birds up there because they don't fly that high up! It was my first visit and I was pretty awestruck.

Our Mr. Linky thing is broken and sort of a pain in the butt, so would you please just share your links in the comment box from now on? Thanks!

Week of 10/17 to 10/24 - U is for UNDER

2010-10-24T22:20:00.000-07:00

Oh my, we only have a few letters left in the alphabet don't we? This year is coming to an end fast, although I will admit Corinna and I are scratching our heads for what we will come up with for the letters X and Z.

Luckily we still have a few more weeks to think about it, for we are only on the 2nd week of the letter U. This week we went from looking UP to looking at things down UNDER. Let's see what you have UNDER you.

Edie's photo: I decided to go walking in a rocking ravine of sorts that actually had some water in it for once. This is a walkway that goes over it. When I took the photo I thought the over exposed/black & white look might be cool, now Im wishing I had maybe done a little less with it. Cool thing is I caught a plane in the shot without realizing it.

Corinna's photo: I stood "under" a tree and looked up for this shot.

Seems like our Mr. Linky thingamajig is more trouble than it's worth, so please just leave your links in the comments section, okay?

Week of 10/11 to 10/17 - U is for UP

2010-10-10T23:23:00.000-07:00

Well much as we like the letter T and the two themes it brought our way, its time to move on to the next letter and theme.

This week we are asking you to look UP. What do you see when you look overhead? What you do see when you are standing up? What do you see when you are way UP high? What do you see near you that symbolizes UP?

As always, feel free to post the links to your photos below. Can't wait to see what you all came UP with.

Week of 10/3 - 10/10: T is for TREE (2nd theme)

2010-10-03T23:14:00.001-07:00

Here is the 2nd of our T themes this week. If you are just checking in now and want to know what theme is for this week, just scroll down and you will see it.

Corinna's Photo:

Edie's Photo: Ok so you would think that get a picture of a tree is easy right? Not always. I unfortunately waited until the last minute to do the assignment, and had to make do with a local park down the street. Unfortunately, the trees there were... um so so. They tended to be all clumped together, with cluttered backgrounds behind them and none of them stood out in any way. So I decided to go with a different type of "tree" shot. I admit this type of shot is one of my favorite, and I have done similar shots like this before but it's still better than an single tree shot I tried getting today.

Week of 10/3 - 10/10: T is for TWO

2010-10-02T20:14:00.000-07:00

Sorry everyone. Edie came down with a bad flu bug the beginning of last week and just didnt get a chance to take her photo until this weekend. So this week we will be hitting you with a DOUBLE theme week.

The first theme for this week is TWO.. as in one, two buckle my shoe. Do you have TWO of something near you? Perhaps you know of an image of a number TWO near you? This is one of those themes with lots of possibilities. We can't wait to see what you come up with.

Corinna's Photo:

Week of 9/12 to 9/19/10 - SOUND

2010-09-21T23:54:00.000-07:00

So last week we had you all staring at the sun, or something that resembles a sun. This week we are asking you to photograph a SOUND or something that symbolizes a SOUND to you. Good luck!

P.S. We don't discuss what our individual photos are going to be ahead of time, only the theme, so this is a total coincidence! LOL

Corinna's photo:

Edie's photo:

Week of 9/12 to 9/19/10 - SUN

2010-09-15T23:22:00.000-07:00

Sorry folks, I know we are late again but its been a busy week as both of us have kids who are now back in school this week.

This week, we move on to the letter S. The first theme for the letter S is SUN.. Is it sunny out where you are? Do you have something that reminds you of sunshine? What represents sun to you?

Edie's Photo:

Corinna's photo:

Week of 09/06 - 09/13: R is for ROCK

2010-09-06T22:33:00.001-07:00

Do you "want to Rock & Roll all night"? Do you have a "piece of the rock"? Can you smell "what the Rock is cooking"? Well hopefully you have some kind of ROCK near you, because that is what our word is for this week as we finish out the letter R.

Hope you all like this one! We can't wait to see what everyone does.

Week of 08/29 - 09/06: R is for RAIN

2010-09-06T22:32:00.000-07:00

We are FINALLY done with those pesky Q's and are moving on to the letter R which Corinna and I think is a much more photogenic letter. The theme for this week is RAIN. Now I know what some of you may be thinking, "We are smack dab in the middle of summer, where are we going to find RAIN?". Trust me though there is RAIN out there. You might have to be creative and make some of your own.

As always feel free to post links to your RAIN photos below. We can't wait to see what everyone came up with.

Edie's Photo:

Week of 8/23 to 8/30 - Q is for QUARTER

2010-08-23T23:24:00.000-07:00

Here is the 2nd theme for Q... (Q is a hard letter for themes by the way) We decided to go with QUARTER. Now you can go with the money idea that Corinna did, or you can take a different approach with QUARTER and do something completely different.

PS - Edie's photo is coming, she just had a external drive issue on her computer and it was suppose to be fix today so she could post her photo. Unfortunately the issue is taking longer to fix that she realized.

Corinna's photo:

Edie's Photo:

Week of 8/15 to 8/22 - Q is for QUIET

2010-08-16T23:47:00.000-07:00

Shhhhhhhhhh!! Do you hear that? That's the sound of Shutterbug's starting a new letter and a new theme. The theme for this week is... QUIET. What means "quiet" to you? Do you have a "quiet" spot.

Cant wait to see everyone's photos!

Corinna's Photo:

Edie's Photo:

Week of 08/08 - 08/15: P is for PEOPLE

2010-08-09T19:48:00.000-07:00

This one should be an easy one for everyone because most of us probably do not have to look very far to find "people" near by. Have fun!

Corinna's Photo:

Edie's Photo:

Week of 07/23 - 08/01 P is for PARK

2010-08-01T23:09:00.000-07:00

Here is our 2nd theme for this week. We have finished the letter O and are now making our way to the letter P. This week we choose the theme PARK. Now obviously Corinna and I both took pictures of a actual park but our photos are still completely different. So this word is one of those words that you can totally have fun and be creative with.

Cant wait to see what everyone does. Remember feel free to click on the photos to see a bigger image.

Edie's Photo:

Corinna's photo:

Week of 07/23 - 08/01 O is for OPEN

2010-08-01T23:02:00.000-07:00

OK... some of you noticed we didn't have a theme last week. Sorry about that, but Edie has some issues with her photo software and couldn't access any of her photos much less upload new ones from the camera to the computer. Thankfully she backs up everything and is up and running.

So since we missed last week, we are hitting you with a double theme this week. The first theme allows us to finish out O, and that theme is OPEN. What do you have thats OPEN near you?

Edie's Photo: Ok I had a ton of ideas in my head for this one, everything from an open skyline, open road to an open can of peanuts. Unfortunately none of them panned out. Luckily while I was out for a hike I happened across this semi open flower on a cactus.. so thats my picture for this week.

Corinna's Photo:

Week of 7/18 to 7/25 - O is for ORANGE

2010-07-19T18:34:00.000-07:00

Well believe it or not the year is already halfway over, which also means we are also halfway through the alphabet. We are starting off the 2nd half of the year with the letter O.. and the first word that came to our minds with the letter O was.... ORANGE.

What in your area is Orange?

Corinna's Photo: *Okay, I just want to say here that this flower looks more yellowish now that I have seen it here on the blog, but it REALLY looked orange when I took the photo! It's very strange. Don't want you all thinking I'm trying to cheat here! ha ha

Edie's Photo:

Week of 07/11 - 07/18: Part 2 - NOUN

2010-07-13T18:58:00.000-07:00

The 2nd theme for this week is an easy one... NOUN. That's right, all you need to do this week is take a picture of a person, place or a thing. Now if that is not a totally wide open topic I don't know what is. Can't wait to see what you all come up with this week.

Corinna's Photo: I struggled with this one, partly because I waited until the last minute and partly maybe because it was TOO easy. But we just had a rain storm, and I think that afterwards things always look more interesting through my camera lens so I went outside to see what I could find. Then there were so many interesting things that it was hard to choose one!

Edie's Photo: I will admit, this was taken last week before my family was temporarily limited to one car. However I really love this shot, and I love this place, so I thought it would be a good image to go with the theme this week.

Week of 07/11 - 07/18: Part 1 - NATURE

2010-07-11T22:49:00.001-07:00

As promised here we have a double post this week with the letter N to get us back on track with the alphabet. The first theme is NATURE... What sort of Nature do you have near you? When you think of Nature, what comes to mind?

Edie's Photo:

I will admit when I think NATURE I prefer to take pictures of mountains and trees, or of flowers and animals before I take a picture of an insect. Unfortunately having only one family car this week made me cancel any possible trips to the mountains and limited my "nature" search to my own somewhat suburban neighborhood. I found this guy building a web, and although Im not found of the creepy- crawlies, I think they do a good job of representing "Nature".

Corinna's Photo:

week of 6/27 to 7/4 - M is for MACRO

2010-07-04T16:10:00.000-07:00

Ok sorry for missing the post last week everyone. I (Edie) had a couple of personal matters that came up that took priority. We are going to finish off the "M" this week, and then next week pull a double duty and have 2 topics for "N".

This week we choose MACRO as the theme. For Corinna and I, macro images are one of our favorite photo techniques. Its a great way of seeing the details in something that you might not have noticed before, and it gives you a new perspective on your subject as well. Some people use a macro lens when shooting their images. (as Corinna and I did). Macro lens are great because they really let you get close to the subject. However if you do not have a macro lens, no worries. Most cameras have a "macro" setting on the camera. Usually is on a button or dial, and it is represented by the image of a flower. If you haven't used that setting before, I highly recommend you give it a try and practice on all sorts of things.

Cant wait to see what everyone comes up with! :)

Oh and dont forgot you can click on the photo if you want to see a bigger image.

Week of 6/20 to 6/27 - M is for MOVE/MOVING

2010-06-20T21:10:00.000-07:00

The last two weeks allowed us to take a LONG look at the LIGHT around us and although L was a fun letter, it is time for us to MOVE on to the letter M for the next 2 weeks. So that's what we are doing... MOVING. What do you think of when the word "MOVE" comes to mind? Is there something in your life that symbolizes MOVE right now? Do you have something near you that MOVES?

Whatever your interpretation of the word is, make sure you post it in the Mr Linky area below so we can all see what MOVE is to you.

Edie's Photo: (click on this one to make it bigger)

Corinna's Photo:

Week of 6/13 to 6/20 - L is for LONG

2010-06-13T19:24:00.000-07:00

We are finishing up the letter L by moving away from the LIGHT and moving towards something LONG. Do you have anything near you that can represent LONG? If so take a photo and post it below. We would love to see it.

Edie's Photo:

Corinna's Photo:

week of 6/6 to 6/13 L is for LIGHT

2010-06-06T23:57:00.000-07:00

Well it looks like kitty might have been a bit more challenging than anticipated for everyone. Hopefully this next theme might be a little easy for everyone to do, since this week the theme : LIGHT. I'm sure that no matter where you are, there is bound to be something near you that can be used for LIGHT. Here is what Corinna and I manage to come up with:

Edie's Photo:

Corinna's Photo:

Week of 5/30 to 6/6 -- K is for KITTY

2010-05-31T22:14:00.000-07:00

Sorry everyone... Edie got wrapped up in the weekend festivities and forgot that yesterday was Sunday not Saturday.

The topic for this week is KITTY... Now Corinna and I went with the real life version of kitty, however you dont have to go that route. I bet if you look around you, you might find a different take on the word "kitty".

Have fun with this one!

Edie's Photo:

Corinna's Photo:

Week of 5/23 to 5/29: K is for KISS

2010-05-23T17:08:00.000-07:00

Cranberries - Kiss Me

Kiss me out by the bearded barley

Nightly, besides the green green grass

Swing, Swing, swing the spinning step

You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight

Lead me out on the moonlight floor,

Lift your open hand

Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance

Silver Moon's sparkling, so kiss me.

Anyone want to take a stab at what the theme for this week is?? lol Yes, it's Kiss. What comes to mind when you think of the word Kiss?? So many possibilities for such a small little word. We hope you have fun with it.

Week of 5/16 to 5/26: J is for JAGGED

2010-05-16T22:09:00.000-07:00

I have to admit the first thing I thought of when Corinna and I decided on "jagged" this week was Alanis Morrisette's "Jagged Little Pill" album. It had to be one of my favorite albums while I was in college. Unfortunately I dont think a CD counts as "jagged" so I had to go hunting around town for something that is jagged.

Like always, we look forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with. Remember to leave your linky down below so we can come visit and share the love! We want to see your photos.

** Corinna's photo and Mr Linky will be added tomorrow. Mother Nature was a bit brutal where Corinna lives these last couple of days, and made it difficult for her to trek outside. I keep telling that girl she needs to come to CA. ;)

Edited to add: Okay, after 3 days of terrible weather I finally just said "forget it!" and went out into the rain today looking like an idiot trying to hold my camera in one hand and my coat over my head and camera in the other hand!

*** Make sure to click on each picture to get the full size view and get the real image.

Week of 5/09 to 5/16: J is for JUMP

2010-05-10T10:58:00.000-07:00

Here is the 2nd theme for this week. (for the first theme check out "Incandescent" below) The word for this week is JUMP. What makes you jump? Do you have something near you that jumps? Do you know someone that likes to jump? Maybe show us one of you jumping? What defines "jump" for you?

Corinna's photo:

Edie's Photo

Week of 5/09 to 5/16: I is for INCANDESCENT

2010-05-10T10:54:00.000-07:00

Ok.. we are doing a double theme this week, since we missed last week. (sorry.. life got busy for us moms) So there will be 2 new posts.. one to finish up I and the start of J.

According to the dictionary Incandescent means:
1. (of light) produced by incandescence.
2. glowing or white with heat.
3. intensely bright; brilliant.
4. brilliant; masterly; extraordinarily lucid: an incandescent masterpiece; incandescent wit.
5. aglow with ardor, purpose, etc.: the incandescent vitality of youth.

Show us your take on "Incandescent"

Week of 4/25 to 5/01: I is for INDIVIDUAL

2010-04-25T17:58:00.001-07:00

Well H proved to be a little challenging as we tried to find heavenly items and horses roaming nearby. So we are easing into the letter I with a topic that hopefully everyone can do: Individual. Show us an individual.. whether they be tall or short, brunette or blonde, friend or even stranger.

Edie's Photo

Corinna's photo (who went with a different meaning of individual as ONE):

Week of 4/18 to 4/25: H is for HORSE

2010-04-18T19:58:00.000-07:00

It's Sunday.. time to start a new theme here at Shutterbugs. We are continuing with the letter H and every girl's favorite animal... the HORSE. Now some of you are probably scratching your heads... um horses, yeah where am I going to come up with a picture of a real life horse? Well no worries, again this theme is open to interpretation. You might be surprise if you look around that you might actually find a "horse" or two in your area.

Corinna's photo:

Week of 4/11 to 4/18: HEAVENLY

2010-04-11T23:16:00.000-07:00

Although green and games were both fun topics to photograph, it is time we said goodbye to the letter G and hello to the letter H. Like all the other letters before it, H will be sticking around for two weeks.

The first weekly assignment for the letter H is HEAVENLY. Heavenly is defined in the dictionary as: divine, of the heavens or sky, or very pleasing or wonderful. What is HEAVENLY to you?

week of 4-4 to 4-11-2010 - GREEN

2010-04-05T00:04:00.000-07:00

Spring is right around the corner...honest. It's just taking its sweet time getting here. This week we are taking pictures of one of the most popular spring colors... GREEN. Now Green does not automatically mean a nature shot, it can be anything that's GREEN, from green M&M's to a green hat, or to a green car. Just show us something that's GREEN in your area.

Corinna's Photo:

Week of 3/29 to 4/04 GAME

2010-03-28T19:54:00.000-07:00

Got Game? I hope so, because that's the theme over here at Shutterbugs this week. As you can see from our photos below games come in all different shapes and sizes. Show us your GAME this week.

week of 3-21 to 3-28 - FRUIT

2010-03-23T23:43:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the delay folks. This time is was Edie's fault. We promise going forward that we will have our photos posted by Sunday.

So without further ado, this weeks prompt is FRUIT! Not only is is good for our bodies but its tasty too. Show us some "fruit" near you.

Corinna's Photo:

Week of 3/14 to 3/21: FLOWER

2010-03-15T22:04:00.000-07:00

Ok E is gone and behind us. We got to see images of mother EARTH and things that make us go EEK. We are moving on down the alphabet to the letter F, and in celebration of springing ahead our F word for this week is FLOWER. Cant wait to see those all those colorful blooms and petals in your area!

P.S. Sorry for the lateness. Corinna had a computer glitch! :)

Corinna's photo:

Edie's photo:

week of 3/7-3/14 - EEK!!!

2010-03-07T22:35:00.000-08:00

We are heading into the 2nd week with the letter E, as we do we leave EARTH and all its beauty behind and move on towards things that make us go EEK.

For some of us, it might be a really scary looking bird while for others it might be a creepy crawly found on the living room rug. What makes you go EEK?

Here's Corinna's photo:

Here is Edie's photo:

week of 2/28 to 3/7 -- EARTH

2010-03-02T21:51:00.000-08:00

Ooops.. sorry for the delay in posting folks. Edie ran into a slight technical difficulty over the weekend. But we are back and super excited to continue on our alphabet journey with the letter E. WOO HOO!!

This week, we are taking a step back and looking at the wonders of mother EARTH. No matter where you are, or what your current season is, you are sure to find oodles and oodles of EARTH's images around you. What represents EARTH to you?

week of 2/21-2/28 - DOOR

2010-02-21T19:55:00.000-08:00

By looking at the photos from last week, it appears that there were a lot of "drips" to be found. Hopefully everyone will have just as much luck if not more with our next D word.... DOOR. Lots of possibilities with this one. It can be an old door, new door, open door, closed door, car door or.. even a doggie door. So show us a "door" in your neck of the woods.

Here is Edie's photo:

Here is Corinna's photo:

week of 2/14-2/21 -- theme is DRIP

2010-02-14T21:47:00.000-08:00

We finished our take on the letter C, and now we are moving forward with the letter D. This week, the word of the week is DRIP. Do you have something that drips near you?

Here's Corinna's photo:

Week of 2/8 to 2/15 -- Theme is CURVE...

2010-02-07T23:24:00.000-08:00

week of 2/1 to 2/7/2010 - theme is CIRCLE

2010-02-01T00:01:00.000-08:00

We are now 5 weeks into the new year. It's time to say "bye bye birdie" to the letter B and hello to our next letter in the alphabet, the charming yet sometimes crazy "C ". Corinna and I went back to our Seasame Street days and searched high and low for one of my favorite shapes... the CIRCLE. What circles do you have near you???

Here's Edie's Photo:

Here's Corinna's photo:

Week of 1/25 to 1/31- B is for BIRD

2010-01-24T22:48:00.000-08:00

Shutterbugs is continuing its celebration of the letter B this week and just like the lyrics from the song Surfin' bird by the Trashman, "BIRD" is the word.

Here's Corinna's Photo:

Since all the birds where I live have gone south for the winter, I took a photo of a very rare bird that you can only find hanging up in my kitchen! :)

Here is Edie's Photo:
I lucked out a bit better then Corinna did weather wise. The sun FINALLY came out over the weekend so I paid a visit to a local park and bird habitat. (Click on the photo to see the bigger image of the bird)

Week of 1/18 to 1/24 - B is for BLUE

2010-01-17T21:32:00.001-08:00

Ok the A's are done, and now its time to move on to the wonderful letter B and the color.... BLUE. Do you have some BLUE near you?

Week of 1/10 to 1/17/2010 -- ANIMAL

2010-01-10T23:22:00.000-08:00

We have noticed that we have had a few more followers join us... WELCOME!!! If you are not sure what this site is about, please check this post here where it explains it a bit. The only thing different is Corinna and I are now doing a "theme" each week and we are doing the themes alphabetically. We go into more detail into the alphabet theme here. Anyone can play along, just as long as you have a site to post your photos to like a blog or flicker account. The more the merrier, so please feel free to join in.

This week we are celebrating the letter A for one more week and the theme is changing from "art" to "ANIMAL". Again...the ideas with this can be endless; it's all how you want to interpret the word. Show us your version of "ANIMAL".

Week of 1/03 to 1/10: ART

2010-01-04T18:02:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!

Sunday Shutterbugs is changing things up JUST a bit to start off the New Year. Rather than have a totally random theme, Sunday Shutterbugs is going to be picking a theme alphabetically. For this week and next week the theme we pick will start with letter "A". The following two weeks after that our theme will be based on the letter "B". This way by the end of the year, we will have gone thru the entire alphabet A-Z.

The idea behind our new "alphabet" theme was inspired by another blogger, Nicole Maki, who just started a new website AtoZ Year. Nicole and her family like celebrating each letter of the alphabet for two weeks at a time by doing various things that start with each letter. For instance, this week since the letter is A they made Apple Crisp and have plans to watch Aladdin. Nicole started the AtoZ YEAR site so others can join in and participate. There are lots of different groups over there. (including a photography group of course) I highly suggest stopping by, taking a look and joining in on the fun!

So to start off our year, here is our first "A" theme of.... ART. Show us something that defines "ART" for you.

Week of 12/27 to 01/03/10: HOLIDAY

2009-12-27T20:27:00.000-08:00

As you can see the hustle and bustle of the holiday season got in the way of us posting a new theme last week. However we are back now and ready to get started with the new year.

Since we are still in the "holiday" season, we decided to make that our theme for this week. All you have to do is post a picture of something that represents the "holiday" season or reminds you of the "holidays". There are SOOO many possibilities with this one.

Week of 11/8 - 11/15: FLAG

2009-11-08T18:57:00.000-08:00

What comes to mind when you think of flag?? Is it your country's flag? Is it the grand old flag? Is it a mailbox flag? Is it a sports flag? Is it someone flagging down a taxi cab? Take a look around this week and see if you can spot a "flag" in your area.

Week of 11/1 to 11/8 theme of FALL

2009-11-01T20:40:00.000-08:00

Well Halloween is over, and it is safe to say that the "fall" season is upon us. Unfortunately although the season is here, not everyone is experiencing true "fall" weather. Some of us unlucky people are experiencing "fall" in 80 degree heat while others are experiencing "fall" with a couple inches of snow. Either way "fall" is all around us, if not in nature then in a "fall" treat, a "fall" decoration, or a "fall" tradition.

Now Corinna and I both took "fall" from the season standpoint, but "fall" can stand for more than just a season. "Fall" can also be an action or verb, or even part of a phrase. The interpretation is entirely up to you.

Have fun!!!

Week of 10/18 to 10/25 Theme : SQUARES

2009-10-18T08:00:00.000-07:00

Well it looks like this little blog has had some traffic in the last week or so. I'm happy to see some of you are playing along with us, and can't wait to see everyone's photos in the upcoming weeks.

There was a bit of confusion last week, I think, and I want to just clarify what we're doing. Edie and Corinna will post their photo on Sunday that they took from the previous week. Then we want you to take a photo during that following week (Monday to Sunday) and post your link so we can all go look at your photos. Did I explain that well enough?

This week we decided to go with a theme, and that was "square." There can be lots of takes on the word "square". However you interpret that, show us your photos.

Cant wait to see what square themes we get.. :)

Get ready.. Get Set.. Go! (almost)

2009-10-02T19:01:00.000-07:00

Forty eight hours ago if you told me I would be making a new blog, I would have said you are nuts. Heck I have a hard enough time keeping my first blog current. (see link in sidebar)

However, my friend Corinna (who loves photography just as much as I do) came across this website and asked me if I would be interesting in doing something similar with her. Little did she know that I was a fan of similar sites, like this one, so when she asked me to be her partner in this of course I said YES YES YES!

Corinna and I are both full time mothers, full times wives, and have full time jobs outside our homes and neither of us have the time to do something like this everyday. (although both of us dream of having full time jobs as photographers someday). So to make it easier on ourselves and our families, we decided to make this photo project a once a week thing.

Every Sunday we will be posting our photos to this blog with no idea of what the other one is posting. It can be a photo of anything or anyone. The only rule that we set for ourselves is that it has to be a new photo that was taken the week prior.

Now, we dont want to be the only ones participating in this. We hope all you bloggers out there that come across our site join in the fun too; either by becoming a follower, or posting a comment below OR even better participating!

After we post our photos on Sunday, we will add another post where anyone who wants can post a comment with a link to their own shutterbug shot. The link can be a blog, can be a flickr account, whatever works for you. You have a full week to do it too. Remember its just ONE photo. We would love to see what you come up with!

So come back and see what we have posted this SUNDAY!
