Thank you, everyone, for helping out @ephillips! Tis a blessing to give.

That is really neat, @blessingscaptured!

Interestingly, this photo sold almost immediately after it uploaded to stock. Don’t recall that happening before. I guess even something this simple is in demand since there aren’t many photos like it.

Hadn’t thought of that, @westona. Would be curious if you find anything out in your own experiments, @abbygeorge!

Polarizing filter is a great idea @westona!

I think it’s neat that you did a lot of different type of activities. Like, not just handing out tracts, but also people praying together, reading the Bible, talking with the Bible close by. And different locations too. There’s lots of variety.

Here are my photos for this assignment!

IMPRESSED. If you want to know how I feel right now, after looking at all your submissions that poured in right before the deadline, I am IMPRESSED! How on earth am I to critique such beautiful photos! But have no worry. 😀 We shall dig deep into some critique tonight! Bask in the light of accomplishment. But you’ll get a sunburn if you don’t keep…[Read more]

I got my official letter from Senator Lewis in the mail!!

That’s really neat, @hannah-f!

Beautiful, @samuelwest and @edpt1025!

@blessingscaptured, that’s a good question, about dust on the D7200 being more difficult to remove since it has built-in sensor cleaning. I don’t imagine that would be the reason why. I would think it would have more to do with how long the dust has been on the sensor, how the dust got there, and possibly even humidity levels that the camera has…[Read more]

Hey everybody, take a look at this!! A FB message from Andrew Lewis…

@hannah-f, thank you for bringing your perspective and experience here to the forums! You should be able to use your 35mm lens as a macro lens if you flip it around.

@brenalig the picture of the autumn leaves in the sunlight with the forest blurred out behind is my favorite!

@lenspirationlydia I always enjoy looking at your light and…[Read more]

I have enjoyed catching up on this thread today!

@blessingscaptured, gorgeous photos! You are really making this assignment your own. This is exactly what the assignments are all about! When do your creative ideas hit you? Before or after you decide in your mind that you’re going to photograph the assignment?

About the spots in your photos that…[Read more]

Thanks @hannah-f. Seems like a good, less popular, more simple contest where you actually have a chance to win. 🙂 And the entry fee isn’t bad. Have any of your photos won a ribbon there?

These are some of my photos using a budget-friendly macro photography technique. It was fun to experiment with, but very difficult to get the photos to be sharp.

And we have some winners to announce!

Congratulations, @jemimajvr and @lenorascholl! Look for your photos going live on Representative Lewis’ Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/RepAndrewLewis) on Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day!

And for those of you who would like to watch the replay where we talked about so many great…[Read more]

Wow, wow, WOW! What incredible creativity! I was quite busy the past two weeks with two conventions back to back, but it was such a pleasure to scroll through and look at all the submissions today. I sent them all off to Andrew Lewis and he said he and his wife would look over them tonight and let me know who the winners are tomorrow! Will…[Read more]

These were fun photos to look at, guys! I particularly like your photo of the farmer lookout out over his pasture @vangorp54
