"Patriotic" is the perfect theme for July's Photo Blogging Challenge! And what better to show patriotism than flags?

Thanks for the United States.





You certainly met the challenge! Great photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteNice job!
ReplyDeleteMy heart does a flutter when I see a flag unfurl in the wind.
Nice! We'll see if I get a post up. I especially like the flag in front of the mountains.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I was pleased with how that one turned out. (I certainly broke some photography rules with that one; I took it while a passenger in the car, and shot it through the dirty window while traveling 80 mph [that's the Utah speed limit through much of the state])
DeleteI do like your flag shots, they're never as easy to photograph as they look. (if you know what I mean). The flag with the mountain background looks amazing and proud. And I love what you have done with the fading color effect on your last shot too.
ReplyDeleteFlags are a great subject for this month's theme and you did a good job photographing the U.S. flag in a wide range of settings and circumstances. In my limited experience it takes a lot of patience or a lot of good luck to get a great flag photo. You must have had both to come up with five such good ones!
ReplyDeleteGood choice for the month's theme. I always like seeing flags flapping in the wind.
