How to Use This Board (http://www.christianphotographers.com/community/index.php?topic=5279.0)




Here's our

85th  Challenge for you all

suggested by buddywoods who won the last Challenge.




"SUNRISE/SUNSET"


Details:   


  • From buddywoods:  "I'm sure all of us have taken pictures of the sun setting or the sun rising.  If you don't have any pictures of a sunset or sunrise you will have around two weeks or so to take them."   


  • Use the attachment feature to show your photos (see directions above in the link to "How to Use This Board") in your post or link to them from your gallery or an offsite location that allows linking using the image codes.  If you have trouble, please contact a moderator (name in blue) or an administrator (name in red) and we'll help you post your photo.  If you have your photo in your gallery, please don't use the attachment feature as that puts the photo on our server twice but rather link to it.    


  • Please upload up to 4 entries per member for this challenge.    


  • If you possibly can, please tell us the camera you used to take your photo and when you took it.  But if you don't know, please post the picture anyway.  We want to see your photos.  :)  Please only enter photos taken by you.    


  • The challenge is open now and will be locked to uploads on Monday, September 15, 2014 and then we'll vote on them.    


  • Please put a title in your post for your photos.  We need the title for the poll.   


  • Of course, we're going to see who is posting the photos so this is not an anonymous challenge.  So start posting.  Click on the "Reply" button below and start this challenge!
    Remember, this is a fun project!
       


Thanks to buddywoods for suggesting this topic.  He was the winner of our last Challenge entitled "DAIRY".  Thanks buddywoods!

I took this shot off our back deck this evening, and bright rays made me think of God's reference to His Son as "the brightness of His glory" in Hebrews 1:3.
