Once upon a time we could only rely on our own two legs for getting around. Then we started to employ animals to do the task for us. Eventually someone got smart and invented a wheel and cars were born. Planes, trains, boats, automobiles, bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, carriages, wagons....they all transport us to wherever we need to go.

For this week's challenge, photograph a mode of transportation. Be creative with it. Consider your composition, the angles, color, lighting.

If you have any questions please feel free to post them or email me. I'm here to help.*

You have from*Friday Feb. 12th*to*Thursday Feb. 25th*to shoot your photos for this theme. Below are some examples to get the creative juices flowing. Good luck and I look forward to seeing everyones photos!
