Photo Challenge #14 - Power of Three {12-21-08}
 

Hope everyone has been enjoying a wonderful weekend! Ya'll ready for the holidays to be in full swing? I sure am! I'm feeling so much better, just have to kick the yucky cough and I'll be good as new! Oh and we finally got the new heater installed this past week! Yay for HEAT! Thanks for all the wonderful well wishes and birthday wishes! :) It's been a great one!

Now for this week's challenge- the power of three. I'm sure we've all heard before that things look best grouped in odd amounts, from flower arrangements to our card fronts. So for this challenge, we're going to focus on objects that are in groups of three in some way. It does not have to be the same 3 objects - just a group of 3. It can be anything from 3 children to 3 different ornaments! A group of 3 just needs to be the main focus of your shot. Feel free to arrange your 3 objects or go looking for them at random. And this is totally something that can be done in the comfort and warmth of your home - I know some of you have really been hit with the snow and cold and may not want to venture out!!!

Angie, I hope you are feeling better.
This sounds like a fun challenge!!

C

These 3 are all cousins!

OMG!!!! How totally stinkin' cute and adorable is this!!!!! LOVE it!!!

Welcome back and great challange. I have 3 girls!!!! This will be fun!

Thanks! Oh I can't wait to see your pics!!;)

This will be fun... I'll try it, too - even though I'm LATE again!!!!!!

I thought that maybe three wise men would be good for this challenge!! I have several Nativity scenes, so I photographed the wise men from two of them. Then I soft-focused them on my photo editing program on my computer.

Thanks for looking - fun challenge, Angie!!

These 3 cousins are adorable.

Hannah, I like your Nativity scene photos. I really like the second one.

I loved taking these 3 photos of 3. My first one was taken at my daughters' madrigal dinner. I edited it to make it in sepia. This was a photo of the instrumentalists. My daughter is in the middle playing her french horn. The second photo of 3 was taken at my sister in law's house. I loved the lights that were over her island in her kitchen. I edited it and made it black and white. The last photo was of my 2 daughters plus their 1 cousin. My daughters are the ones on the ends.

What a cool photo of the lights, Mari Lynne! I never would have thought to do that. I like how the picture of the band is in sepia. All of them are great!

Just discovered these threads and it is so cool! Love love love those babies! All the shots are impressive. Wow folks!
Here is my 3. It is the lights hanging in the Hilton lobby. They facinated me in their unusual shape.
Thanks for these challenges - hope I get to keep playing alone.

Wow, look at those light fixtures!! That's crazy!

My second Challenge submission. My 4 year old, 3 year old and almost 2 year old. Three of a kind.

These lights really do have an unusual shape. I haven't ever seen anything like them. Great job capturing them.

So cute. I love how you captured them so candidly. Were they watching tv?

Yes, my little couch potatoes. :-)

Actually, the youngest doesn't watch much, but he we caught him in a brief cuddle moment with his brother and sister.

This isn't really what I had in mind because it is not the best picture, however, this is what I have. This is a picture of my dad, brother, and uncle. Along with my 3 nieces (yes, twins). So this is 3 men and 3 babies!

These are some seriously fantastic shots!

Here are a couple...

The first is at my sis in law's house at Christmas. The next is what I think is a purple martin house at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Oakdale, NY.

A couple more....

Both at the Cutting Arboretum. The second one is not the greatest picture but I wanted to show that they are Tiffany windows. All the windows in the main house were done by Tiffany along with some glass in 2 of the fireplaces. They are unbelieveable.

I took this power of three photo this morning. It is 3 bald eagles sitting in a tree near the Mississippi river.

Oh Marilynn, that is truly amazing!

I finally got some time to play with my new close up filters that I got for Christmas.

Here is another power of 3 shot. This ornament has 3 stars on it. I used the star filter on it. I'm not sure if you can tell by this picture.

I have a submission for this challenge in my camera. It is of three things loved by my father: his granddaughter and two dogs. Will upload it when I can.

Here's a fun little shot of my two nephews and I on a mountain hike.

(There's a bunch more shots of the hike on my BLOG today.)

Thanks for looking!

Oh Pam - those shadows are just fantastic. Brilliant shot.

Power of three
 

I have these three photos cards sitting on my computer desk in various places. They were made by my sister-in-law and I just love the colors in them!

I took this a couple weeks ago north of Flagstaff. Nobody seems to know who carved them or who keeps them painted.

Such a dramatic sky - it makes this shot so atmospheric. A pop-up sculpture, sort of!

Winslow received two damaged pieces from the World Trade center when it was destroyed September 11, 2001 and created a small Remembrance Garden. They are 14 and 15 foot beams and the largest pieces given to any community in the nation.
