Wednesday Walk - The Challenge week 2

The #wednesdaywalk challenge, is one started by @tattoodjay aka me and in short the idea is to get out for a short walk during the week and share a post of what you see on a Wednesday.

The guidelines for the challenge are at the bottom of this post

For my entry for the challenge for this week I will take you along a little walk I did in downtown Milford over the weekend

Starting off with this shot of the waterfall, which was looking from the bridge when I started my walk, I always love this view and have shared shots of it before so this time I went with a funky artsy edit style.

It’s nice that the weather is warming up and were now seeing blossoms on the trees and spring flowers starting to bloom all over, the colors always look special after a long grey and damp winter.

Just a little further along my walk, this is looking down Helwig Street here in MIford I always find these buildings have an old charming feel to them.

To go with the feel i have for these buildings I went with a mono edit for this shot.

With warmer weather you also see the convertibles and Motorcycles more often out on the roads, this one is a cool looking ride and was Parked on River Street outside the Cafe Atlantique.

Another nice Bike parked next door to the previous one, I suspect the owners were probably sitting in, or maybe in the outside seating at the Cafe Atlantique, A charming little Cafe in downtown Milford.

And here ends my post for this week, Milford is a charming town and I plan to share more Wednesday Walk posts in different areas of the city.

Wednesday walk challenge

Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.

Try and get a few shots not just one

You can look for anything in generally or decide on one subject you want to get shots of.

Try to limit yourself to a set distance or time from the starting location, say 5 Blocks, 5 Minutes walk or whatever and see what you can find in that short distance

make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss

Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join it this week please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all.

I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules

I hope a few of you may find this an interesting challenge and decide to join in.

Awesome! I just answered my own question I asked in another blog about #wednesdaywalk Its a great initiative @tattoodjay and will have to remember to get participating. See you next Wednesday......hopefully. (:

Cool would be great t see what you can find one a walk there :)

I will try to remember 😊

The painting was from a picture, right??? Gorgeous! You should print it and frame it 😊

Yes indeed its from one of my photos and edited to look like a painting I woulw consider printing it but I am running out of space to put them up LOL

Congratz, your post has been resteemed and, who knows, will maybe appear in the next edition of the #dailyspotlights (Click on my face if you want to know more about me...)
Check the rules of the Daily Spotlights if you want to nominate someone!

The challenge sounds interesting! I think I can join it. And I enjoyed reading so far :)

Cool I thought it was a good idea to motivate people to get walking and looking around, look forward to seeing you join

Really good one!

THanks :)

Motorcycle - just "pretty boy". I did,nt understand do you have bike? Or are you just contemplating this miracle of technology?

I used to have bikes mainlymotocross many years ago, I dontthink I will be gettign one againthough, will just enjoy seeing them

I love bikes, and especially Japanese. But it is only dreams. My wife strongly opposed :-(

I am the same, I love them, and my wife is opposed as well,me having smashed both of my knees in the past I guess she is justified

Lol)))) We went to India a few months ago. There I lost control of the bike and my wife fell off. Now she does not want to hear about...

Well I can see why she would feel like that I did that with a Girlfriend when I was about 15 for some reasons she was anti bikes after that happenned lOL

:-)

Love the way the edits turned out in the first photo @tatoodjay and looks like Spring finally arrived. Have a Happy Wednesday, Jay!

Thanks and yes Spring is here and the colors are coming out, mind you it’s hitting 90 today so its more of a summers day already :)

Pokemon go of photography 😉. Great idea!

LOve that way of explaining it :)

Great idea, Jay. I am just seeing it today for the first time. I will be getting out today to Venice Beach...never been there before but I know I can find something interesting. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Your picture of the waterfall tripped me out at first...I enjoy that edit. Your spring blooms are sublime.

Venice beach will give you plenty of options for shots such an interesting place

LOL I throw in the odd trippy edit now and then :)

I got this one in just under the wire PST! I was not a rule follower on this on but I really enjoyed putting it together. Thanks for coming up with this excellent challenge.

aand thank you for joining in just saw your post and brought back memories of my visits there

I to like looking at rules as guidelines :)

You're very welcome. It was my pleasure and my kind of challenge. I can't even walk to the grocery store without snapping a few shots! Glad I could help bring back some memories for you, especially if they were good ones. :)

They were indeed good ones, I am the same I always carry my camera with me :)

Excellent idea!!!!

Thnaks I thought it was a cool challenge to get people out walking and looking

Love the artistic version of the waterfall. Glad to hear spring is actually arriving for all of us here in New England!

I was bummed to miss out last week, but I'm back again this week.

So glad to have you back and off to check out your post 😎👍😎

I love the artistic rendering of the waterfall! I'm not prepared for a wednesdaywalk post today, as I have a full schedule. If I can manage to rustle one up, I'll do so. It's a great weekly challenge!

Thanks I try to mix up my style for posting on here to keep some variety I think this is one of my favorite artsy edits so far

I am glad people and joining this challenge 😎👍😎

Variety is the spice of life. :-)

That is so true

This is a great idea! I have been meaning to get out and take some small videos outside so I can be more creative in my element as I have some ideas in my head and too many thoughts, but this sounds like a great reason to get out there (and a great post idea for the day), so I think I shall take this challenge in the next few hours and then have some more fun with it. Great idea. When @silverd510 mentioned he did it and that it was your idea it made complete sense as the walking part definitely makes me think of you. Fantastic shots too btw.

Thanks firstly I am glad this challenge is getting some traction and posts I love seeing people’s walks

If you can join would be great 😎

Yeah walking is something I do a lot of 😎👍😎

Yes that I know you do, even when you weren't supposed to..silly. But glad you are getting out there always and yes I think this was a great idea and a nice change, and gets people outside too so good job. I will definitely make it today since my camera battery is charged up too..gonna try using the mirrorless one I have a bit more. Thanks for the inspiration as usual :)

Lol yeah that’s true I was tired and had things on my mind today so it’s been a lot of walking already over 10 miles lol

Which mirrorless do you use?

oh my gosh! 10 miles?! whole geez, you are like a walking beast.
Friendly beast of course. I believe it is a sony a6000 with a bunch of manual lenses and adapters.

Normal for me is about 5 miles 😎

I just sold my 6000 a great camera 📷

Love what you did with that waterfall shot, Jay. I will be joining in on the fun a little later:)

Thanks it’s one of my favorite artsy edits I do have to admit
Looking forward to your entry

Hi @tattoodjay! ☺ Downtown Milford is lovely! They should pay you because you are great for advertising the town! You've made me want to visit! Seriously! Come take a stroll with me thru the side streets of Pasadena 🎉
https://steemit.com/wednesdaywalk/@denisechips/wednesday-walk-in-pasadena-ca

One other thing about Milford is it has many great photographers so they have plenty of advertising the city for free 😎

Just saw your post thanks for joining the challenge 😎👍😎

Great post my friend :) I am glad that spring finally came. Have a fantastic day.

Thanks mate today it feels like we have passed Spring and into summer nice and warm

Thanks off to check it now :)

This is a great idea @tattoojay. I particularly liked your artsy image of the waterfall but I'm thinking I may join the challenge also... As long as rubbish phone-camera pictures are ok? 😉 I guess using a crap phone camera (all I've got) is just a good excuse to play with editing filters etc. Plenty of cool walks where I am so I think I will give it a go

yes of course cell phone photos are most welcome would love to see some of your area

Love that challenge!! I will see if I can manage to get a post up today. If not - next week for sure.

Cool glad you like the idea and look forward to seeing you join when you can

great post and entry, you did awesome with your camera :)

Another new challenge... and a healthy and photographer's delight one! Congrats for the idea! Next Wednesday... for a walk!
Thanks, Jay!

cool look forward to seeing your entry, the walk can be any day the post on a Wednesday :)

Deal! I'm in for the next one :))! Cheers, my dear Jay!

Will belooking forward to seeing it

;) ;)

Wow, such an interesting challenge :D :D Well, tomorrow is Wednesday, so I'm gonna definitely try this. :D

Great looking forward to seeing your post ;)

Thanks so much 😎
