Wednesday walk and Make me smile challenge collaboration results and Steem Basic Income Give away
Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.
This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines
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.
Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.
Try and get a few shots not just one
You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.
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, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all.
Following me and resteeming the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion, but you may have a better chance of receiving a Steem Basic Income Share if you do.
I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules
I will try and visit, resteem and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk, plus I will be sending @steembasicincomeshares to a selection of those who participate.
Actifit
A good App that works well in conjunction with the Wednesday Walk or any day walk is @actifit, which rewards you with Actifit Tokens and Steemit Upvotes, if you use the app to track your steps and do a post of your actifit total each day.
If you do a lot of activity I do recommend you check it out
And if you are looking for another fun challenge, check out the Make Me Smilehosted by @elizacheng, coming soon we will be working to collaborate on occasionally on these challenges,
The third Wednesday of the month out two challenges will collaborate so if you combine the two into one post you have double the fun
This weeks Wednesday Walk going a bit funky
On this weeks walks ( yes these photos are from a few walks I took this week), between the rain and showers I decided to have some fun and play around with my Lensbaby Trio 28 lens so the shots are a little funky, but it was fun just trying to be creative rather than getting good shots
Starting with a shot in the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza of the benches there

The lensbaby trio 28 lens is a fixed focal length and aperture and trio is a fun lens to play with when it's nice and sunny, but with the fixed aperture of 3.5 it's tricky to get good shots in darker weather, so these shots aren't technically great shots but I wanted to try something different and have some fun. so here goes.
This is in a little shop where I often pick up my breakfast in the morning and these colorful drink bottles caught my eye, I have never tried them as I do not have soda much these days.

Now in the dull weather I did enjoy playing around with the Lensbaby its kind of a toy lens, but not that cheap but compared to the price of some lenses cheaper, don't worry I won't be doing all my photos with it or the new Lensbaby set I bought last week but I will slip them on my camera occasionally when I want to play around and have fun.
And also a couple of made a comment they feel they shouldn't join Wednesday walk because they feel my photos are so good and their's aren't up to par, so this post is to highlight Wednesday walk isn't about great photos or sights but its about getting out walking having fun and sharing whatever catches your eye
This next shot is as I was entering my office building one morning, and witht he spot focus and blur it feels like working into a vortex which is kind of how it feels walking into work and having to get serious for the day, I do not do serious that well LOL

but I do not stay serious all day in the office I do pop out into the gardens a couple of times a day and this next shot is of a portion of the Old berlin Wall, which was donated and placed in the gardens

Steem Basic Income give away
I mentioned in the guidelines that from this week I will be sponsoring a few who join the #wednesdaywalk challenge with shares on Steem Basic Income
What is Steem Basic Income you may ask well here is how they explain it
Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content. so I have decided to send some Steem Basic Income shares to 5 people selected through a random draw so on the weekend all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk. @bashadow, @constantshots, @elizacheng, @almi, @joelai, all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk . And a special bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @melinda010100,
As the Third Wednesday @elizacheng and I collaborated with our Wednesday Walk and Make me Smile Challenges , Which has three winners two rom Eliza and @kamrunnahar ( received an SBI share from me )
I would love to be able to give everyone who joins a Steem Basic Income share, but I don't make enough steem each week to do so, but I will try and share them around fairly between those that join the challenge
unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

I love that shot of the Berlin Wall best! I think it is because I lived over there before and after it fell and as an American, I was shocked and wondered why the rest of Americans weren't appalled. Or perhaps they were and I was too young to know it? My heart wept when it came down and I moved there once again right after it fell, within months.
Oh, I guess here isn't the place to rehash.
The rings are a sign of unity when there isn't a tiff at the Olympic games. They just aren't what they used to be, yes? It used to be you could only represent a country if you were from there or lived as a citizen. Now, it is who's team can afford you. So, what is the point?
Not to be so negative. OMG. Your shots are always diving and I love what you are doing with the lensbaby. It gives it such a soft, dreamlike quality. So fun to play with!!
Happy #WednesdayWalk!
Upped and Steemed
Thanks for leading #SteemUSA on to an amazing place to be a part of. !tip
I think part of the thing with the wall is so many are so tunnel focused on what’s happening to them and do not look further than the end of there nose let alone to the wider roles so they are somewhat oblivious to what’s going on inthe world, not everyone off course and certainly not you and me, but sadly it is the case with a lot of people
As for the Olympics again I totally agree it used to be very simple you represented your country but only if you were an amateur, now that have relaxed both rues well relaxed broken away completely from the concept and that weakens the whole idea of the Oympics in my mind
Thanks for your kind comments about the shots I will enjoy playing witht he Lensbaby lenses from time to time its nice to do something different, even if n some ways its more challenging getting good shots with them than with normal lenses maybe thats what makes it fun for me
Awesome “funky” pictures, @tattoodjay. I love how they turned out with the filters. That’s really neat that you are collaborating with @elizacheng! I will remember that for next month’s third Wednesday and be sure to add some fun to my #WednesdayWalk.
Tanks I do try and mix up what I share whether it be location, subjects or in this case lens and style LOL
Yes We steed collaborating a little while ago and I think the two challenges work so well together
Totally love the first photo. Feels like there's a dimension hole opening up. I can crossover to a magical world...

Thanks thats how I feel about that first photo as well kind of like into a vortex, I do love that effect and must look for other locations where it may work well for that effect
I saw your post just befo and a lovely one it was ;))
How do you make the effect? It's really cool!
Posted using Partiko Android
the vortex swirly effect was done with the Lensbaby trio 28 Lens and the oil painting look was done in photoshop :)
Thanks for the SBI and the awesome walk! You had really fun, you can see that.
Most welcome and it was fun playing round with this lens, its somehting different and actually quite challenging as you have to shoot retry much in manual mode with it
