This past week's theme for our weekly photo challenge was 'Worn'. Well done to everyone whi submitted a photograph! They are really great! Every week, the team is given a theme (each team member is given a chance to choose the theme for the week) and then each person has 7 days to take the perfect picture. It can be as edited or as natural as you like, the only rule is it has to be submitted to me by Sunday evening (South African time) so that I can get the post up asap on Sunday night/early Monday morning!

#PhotoOfTheWeek...Yellow

/
Another week has come and gone, and with it, another photo challenge! This week's theme was Yellow. Every week, the team (which consists of 15 members from all over South Africa, and in fact, from all over the world as we have 2 members in Asia!). A new theme is chosen on Monday and then everyone has to find a photograph that feel best suits that week's theme. Then they have to send me their submission by Sunday evening, and I post them early Monday morning. We have been going for over months know and it has been amazing to see everyone improve (not just in their photographic skill, but in their creativity!). 

And a BIG welcome to our newest member, Julia! Good luck with your photographs Julz, I can't wait to see them :)

Well done everyone!

#PhotoOfTheWeek...Orange

Last week's Photo Of the Week Challenge was the "Orange". I love the contrasting shades of orange from each submission! Well done everyone :)
When Farmboy and I first started this PhotoChallenge we hadn't expected such a great response from my readers (and of course family and friends). Now we have a team of over 15 team members, each contributing photo's when they can...it's awesome!
If you would like to be a part of the photo challenge, just drop me a line here or email me at citygirlsearching{at}gmail{dot}come.

I look forward to seeing everyones submissions next week!

#PhotoOfTheWeek...Bits & Bats/Pieces/Bobs

/


Thanks to my step-dad Rob for this past week's theme "Bits & Bats". Upon first hearing this I was a little confused, but on closer examination (and a very puzzled look on face) I was informed that Bits & Bats is another way of saying Bits & Pieces or as some say, Bits and Bobs :)

So here are some of the entries for this week's photo challenge!

#PhotoOf TheWeek...Reflection

/


Today marks a very special day for myself and Farmboy...after a truly wonderful day at the 5* Karkloof Spa here in Natal, my Farmboy got down on one knee and proposed in the most romantic way possible...I've had a silly grin on my face all day! 
Full post to come soon :)

This week has been a very busy one, and we have a whole load of new members to welcome to our PhotoChallenge! A big warm welcome to Natalie (my soon to be sister-in-law! Yay Excitement! Who is joining in from Japan), Megs (hailing from East London), Victoria (joining us all the way from Cambodia! Click here to join her on her blog) and Kerri (who spent AGES helping me colour in these posters) 

This week's theme was Reflection and I think everyone did marvelously :)

*If you would like to join in on the fun just drop me a line here. You don't have to be a wizz with a camera, you just have to like a challenge. Photo's can be as edited or as 'natural' as you like and the only rule is that your photo has to be sent to me by Sunday evening so I can put it up before Monday*

#PhotoOfTheWeek...Warm

This week we only have three entries for the #PhotoOfTheWeek Challenge, but we have added another three people to our team who have just joined and will start submitting their photographs from next week! It does become harder and harder to stay focused but that's what males it such a challenge. Keep up the great work everyone :)

If you would like to take part in the #PhotoOfTheWeek challenge, just drop me an email here :) The more the merrier, and you don't have to be a professional to join...it's all about challenging yourself to do your best and to keep those creative goggles on!

#PhotoOfTheWeek...Time

/


Last week's theme has taken a little longer than expected to get put up here on the blog, but better late than never :)

Although this challenge is for each team member to take one picture, all three of the first set of  photo's below just had to go together to allow the full idea to be seen.

*If you would like to take part in our #PhotoChallenge all you have to do is pop me an email and I'll add you to the team! It's a great way to get into the habit of taking pictures from new & varying angles*

This week we have two new members to add to our Photo Challenge Team! First up we have Nicky (who is currently teaching English in South Korea), welcome Nicky! Secondly, my Step Dad, Rob, decided he also wanted to submit a photograph this week after seeing my mom's submission :) 

All of the submissions have been fantastic, well done everyone!

If you have a camera (it doesn't matter how small/fancy/happy snappy) and you would like to join in our little challenge, just drop me a line here. It's a great way to challenge yourself and get into the swing of training your eye to spot the unique in the ordinary...

#PhotoOfTheWeek...Writing on the Wall

/
This week's theme was *Writing on the Wall*. I really had to rack my brains to come up with something other than grafiti (mainly because there is a distinct lack of any creative wall imagery here in Pietermaritzburg!). Anyway, hope you enjoy these. I know a lot of effort went into each and every picture, well done friends!

And we also welcome a new member to our ever growing team...my Mom! Who will be further referred to as Sue. Well done on your first #PhotoOfTheWeek Mommy :)

This week's theme was doors. I had a number of great idea's by our newest team member, Kayleigh: 'Joshua Doore' being my favourite. If there are any readers out there who would like to join this series just pop me an email. The only rules are that the photo has to be emailed to me by sunday so that I can put it up by Sunday evening. As for how you take it, what you use to take it, how much or little you edit your pic, well thats up to you! :)
