Scavenger Hunt Sunday #9

Abstract
I admit that I was not excited when I saw this prompt. I had a hard enough time with it several weeks ago and ended up with what I felt like was a lame picture. So then I looked up abstract photography and got inspired. I ended up with this picture, which is actually a closeup of an acorn cap without the nut inside.

Round


This photo challenge happened during the week of the full  moon, so I couldn't resist taking a picture this very large, glowing orb.

Fire
I did not feel like lighting a candle or a bonfire (which I think is not quite legal), so you get a picture of the flames on this car instead. I think they look almost real, don't you?

Seeing Faces in Strange/Unusual Places

When we drove up American Fork Canyon, I was surprised to find this little face. It is actually the sign over a picnic area, but I love how it has two screws for eyes, the number one for a nose, and a little staple for the mouth.

Stars

When we went up the canyon, we stayed until after dark so I could try for a shot at the stars. I searched online to find outhow to take pictures of the night sky and decided to give it a try. I know this result is not perfect, but I absolutely loved that my camera could take pictures of stars I could not even see with my eyes! I had a hard time choosing which of my star shots to share because I loved them all! This was my favorite photo this week.

    These are great photos...what lens and settings did you use to capture the moon and the stars...I have never been able to manage a shot of the moon as clear and vibrant as yours.

    These are wonderful. I love the Abstract, Fire (the car flames do look pretty real) and the night sky was lovely.
