With American's this week celebrating Independence Day, there will be a lot of outdoor backyard activity going on. Seems a fitting topic, since outdoor is available where ever you might be, so let's see your best backyard ideas! Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!

DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY July 4
This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 00:00 UTC of the end date.



The Rules

1. Photos must be captured with a Nikon and appear in the thread with EXIF info in order to be considered for the challenge. If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

4. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!

There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

Regular visitors to my backyard, still small enough to come through the fence. They seem to be doing well even though the mother was run over last week.

I live on a small lake. This is what I see out my back door. The neighbors that live on the little peninsula across the cove do a small unauthorized fireworks display every 4th of July. Last night was my first serious attempt at trying to capture fireworks. I zoomed out and raised the exposure on this one.

I would have to guess that sometimes luck strikes. As Line and I were going outside to cool off a bit, a family or racoons were walking by. The young ones got up the trees and the mom watched. By the time I came back with my camera, the mom was gone but one young one was still up in the pine tree.
