I tried to put points of interest in the ratio but it didn't work out as well as I hoped.

The Golden Ratio has been used in art for millennia. Use or illustrate the Golden Ratio in a photograph today.

A pleasing vista is a ditch cleaned when I didn't have to dig it. This is the back catch ditch and we had a trackhoe in to clean it out. It's not been cleaned for 20+ years.

The dictionary defines a vista as a pleasing view. Make a photo of a vista that pleases you today.

I am paranoid about wool moths so I keep all my yarns in plastic containers with mothballs. I try to keep the labels accurate but they are never perfect.

Containers, boxes, and packages. Make a photo with one or more as a subject and illustrate what they mean to you.

All of our parents have passed on and my brother in law lives far away. But my stepdad came to help at the Farmers' Market and is our closest family.

Make a photograph today that documents your family or conveys how you think of your family.

Have you ever tried to catch a picture of the baa of a hungry sheep?

Make a photograph today that visually communicates a sound. Your choice of sound, but do your best to make us "hear" it.

A single element, Mount Lamborn. I never get tired of the view and this one had a lot of contrast with the new snow.

For the 1st assignment of @dailyshoot year 2, create a photo with a single element, no distractions, & lots of contrast.

On a farm one of the most important gauges is the weather station. Weather determines everything. This sits in the dining room and we check it every morning. Data from the station are fed onto the web page with our local weather.

Gauges, meters, and turn signals are all indicators. Make a photograph of an indicator that catches your attention today.

I was actually able to use the macro function on my camera for this because Belinda is a very friendly sheep. I like how you can see the red coats and the hay barn reflected in her eye.

Sometimes, the best advice is to get closer. Today, get really close to your subject. Use a macro lens if you have one.
