Color: Blue {DPS Assignment}

OK, so I know it's been a while since I've posted anything for the DPS challenges or assignments, but I'd really like to get back into them!  My schedule has really been full and I just haven't had much time to dedicate to the DPS stuff.  But here goes another try.  This week's assignment was simply to capture the color blue.  I was down in the Riverwoods last week and saw these awesome decorative blue rocks and thought, "There's my blue!"

Doesn't Belong {Assignments}

So here is my second ever entry for the DPS assignments.  Assignment: find something that doesn't belong.  All week long I kept singing to myself, "One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong..."  Here's my submission:





























Another one I took (not submitted):

Street Signs {Assignment}

So here's the first assignment that I've tackled for the DPS (Digital Photography School).  The assignment was pretty easy: find a street sign that's interesting.  I decided to take a drive up Provo Canyon and see if I could find a "Slow" sign and experiment with motion blur of cars passing by.  Well, I had no luck in my search for a "Slow" sign - so instead, I decided to drive up by Sundance to see if I could find anything interesting.  I did!  I found some quaint street signs that I just had to stop and photograph.  And the scenery was so beautiful with the fall leaves and all, I stopped for a few other shots.  The last one of Bridal Veil Falls was taken with me hanging out of my car - just a shot for fun because I love the falls.  I love living among the mountains.  They're so majestic!
