This was a fun challenge, trying to find something ordinary that someone hasn't already done to perfection... Not sure if I accomplished that, but I had fun (and got some pretzel-like exercise as I twisted around to get close and try different angles!)

It's been a while since I've participated in any Flickr group on a regular basis. A few years ago, life started getting in the way and life kinda snowballed. However, I decided this year might give me enough time to dip my toe back in the water. The past three years or so I've been taking pictures mostly of and for friends and family. I enjoy it, but I also miss getting out on my own and simply photographing things that catch my eye. I'm hoping being in this 52 weeks group helps change that.
I really think adhering to the themes will help push me to improve my skills. In the past, I didn't often follow the suggested themes when I played in 52 or 365 groups. In fact, some of you may remember the year I did an entire 52 week project photographing beer. I can't promise you that beer won't make an appearence at some point during the year, but I am pushing myself to wander outside my comfort zone with this project and try to do things that are new to me.
This is my take on the "abstract" theme of week 1. Like some of you have already done, I noticed the Christmas lights that I hadn't yet taken down and thought that might be something worth playing with. To achieve this photo, I planted my camera on the tripod in front of the tree and set a long exposure with a 2 second timer. I then rotated the camera through the long exposure, which created the circular effect. I found that 2-3 seconds was a good enough time to get a nice rotation on the camera. I adjusted the contrast, exposure and color temp in post processing, and here we go. I hope you like it.
