Show us your interpretation of today’s theme, “Experimental.”
Regular photo challenge participants may recall that, to bust stress and keep fit, I like to run. Recently, well into fall, we enjoyed a couple of days reaching +25° Celsius (77° F). Wanting to embrace that last burst of summer, I went out one warm day feeling a bit experimental about my running route.
I realized that in all the years of running through the park, I had never once strayed from the paved path to attempt the narrow, rolling trails along the river. I veered into the underbrush and was happily astonished at the beautiful fall colors and river views. I had to stop every once in a while to document the day.
With all the brief photo stops, that run was no candidate for a personal best time — though I’d say that being experimental and choosing a new path made my run a great time I will always remember.
This theme is as wide open as the prairie sky. How will you portray “Experimental”? Will it be the fresh lemon-cranberry scones you whipped up, tired of the usual blueberry muffins? Will it be a close-up of the piano where you just composed an original in a key new to you? Will it be capturing a subject using varying compositions or photographic techniques? Regardless of how you choose to show us “Experimental,” I’m looking forward to seeing the results.

Love this! I’ve had some luck taking photos from a moving vehicle, but none as nice as this. This photo would have been a great candidate for the Mirror Project from way back when.

Indeed! It was lovely, if fleeting. That photo, taken today would show ice on the river and snow on the shore.

I am a pretty boring person. In other words I never really experiment or try something new and adventurous. But I would say I did experiment once when I galloped on a horse across a beach having never ridden at more than a walk before. Something on my bucket list is to experiment, take a chance. Perhaps a road trip, I would love that.
