52 Frames Challenge: “A shadow has to be the main subject of the picture.” I have no idea what produced this shadow. But it is interesting. Again, I made use of my smartphone instead of my DSLR camera. #52frames_shadows

52 Frames Week 39 challenge is “Soundtrack!” or “…to choose a song and create an image that feels like it—let lyrics, mood, or genre guide your storytelling.” There must be a song somewhere about a frog playing a musical instrument. #52frames_soundtrack

This week’s 52 Frames challenge is “...take a photo that captures the feeling of something (or someone) being out of place.” Empty wine bottles do not belong in a garden (I will ignore the broken plate). #52Frames_outofplace

This week’s 52 Frames challenge was to take a photo that uses a reflection in your composition — water, glass, mirrors, or any reflective surface. I captured a reflection in the microwave. # 52Frames_reflections

This week’s 52 Frames challenge: “low key” a photo that has more dark than light. Taken at the Michigan State Capital. This is a gas light fixture that has been electrified. #52Frames_lowkey

This week’s 52 Frames challenge is “…to create a photo that evokes the idea of something “abandoned.” I saw this 'abandoned' steps at our swim club. The shadows made a nice touch. #52Frames_abandoned

This week’s 52 frames challenge is to capture a macro or extreme close-up photo that reveals details we wouldn't ordinarily see. I took this picture of a gate at a local farm. #52Frames_macro

52 Frames Challenge: Change the White Balance - In ancient times, the only way to control the white balance was to change the light source, use a very specific type of film or use a filter. Today, I changed the white balance, made the picture warmer, using software. #52Frames_colortemperature

Normally, I would have centered the flower and did some post production work in Photoshop but the 52 Frames challenge was an 'Unusual Crop' which only allowed editing when taking the photo. #52Frames_unusualcrop

This week’s 52 Frames challenge was to do something “new. My 'new' was a Nikkor 55-200mm lens, set the zoom to 200mm, attached a polarizing filter and then attached 3.5X telephoto lens adapter since I did not have a 72mm polarizing filter. And used a rather slow shutter speed. #52Frames_somethingnew

52 Frame Challenge -"You have 7 days to take a photo inspired by the style of a visual artist—without directly copying it."
Since I am not familiar with painting styles "In the style of.....," I took a closeup photo of flowers and changed it to black and white. #52frame_inthestyleof

This week's 52 Frames “challenge is about embracing softness, motion, and flow.” Taken from Greenwood Park Swim Club looking out into Bells Lake, NJ. I like how the photo shows the fluidness (??) of the water. The photo would not 'work' absent the grill in the foreground. #52frames_fluid

Is Goodreads antisemitic for refusing to remove 'hateful' book reviews?

Flaunting My Star of David | Aish

Goodreads gave Jew-haters a place to review bomb my new novel. I am not the only Jewish author experiencing antisemitism in the U.S. literary world.
