January 20: Photography Challenge | Through a lens of possibility
Hi MOCers! Hopefully you've been following along with this month's LEAP chats, as we have been discussing the technique of shooting through objects.
The technique of shooting through an object or placing an object in front of your lens can instantly add an element of interest and dimension to a photograph. If you shoot through something that is transparent or semi-transparent, you create interesting reflections, blurs or patterns on your subject. If you shoot through something that’s opaque, you create dimension by having an out of focus foreground element.
Level 1 - The easiest thing to shoot through is glass or plastic. Examples - windows, prism, glass orb/crystal ball, drinking glass or bottle, plastic wrap, stained glass window, magnifying glass
Level 2 - Shooting "through" objects...or put simply - having something out of focus in the foreground/just in front of your lens. Examples - foliage, fences, a picture frame, copper tube, or anything else in the environment
Level 3 - Think outside the box and shoot "through" an object from the perspective of being inside of the object. Examples - slinky, washing machine/dryer, ice cream cone, snow, popcorn bucket, use your imagination for a unique photo...the possibilities are endless
INSTRUCTIONS:
For this challenge, please create a layout with a NEW PHOTO in which you have shot a subject through an object. It MUST be obvious that you have shot through something in that you will have dimension and something between you and the subject.
MOC RULES:
Your page must be a new page in order to count for the Month of Challenges. Your page must be posted in three places:
1. Uploaded to the TLP Gallery (not an outside hosting site).
2. Posted in your page thread you created in the MOC Layouts Folder. You should have one post per completed challenge page. If you complete all 31 challenges, your thread should contain 31 posts. Please do not comment in the participants’ page threads so we can keep them clean.
3. Posted in this thread. People can comment here if they wish.
Your page must contain Lilypad product (pages with photos and font only do not count). If you use product from other stores, your pages must contain at least 75% current Lilypad product (currently for sale in the store from either permanent designers or guest designers).
*****NOTE: This is a photo challenge! You MUST include a NEW photo! And it MUST be obvious that you shot the photo with something between you and the subject.*****
Here are some examples LOs:

We have friends that have a basement bar with taps to serve beer that our friend brews himself. When he started brewing, he started a "beer wall" that had pictures of himself and his friends drinking beer. His wife and I complained that we were never on the wall because we usually drink wine, so she started a "wine wall" with pictures of us. Long story short, ever since then anytime my hubby drinks wine which is pretty rare, he takes a picture and sends it to our friend who then puts HIM on the wine wall. So after we decorated our Christmas tree this year, I grabbed a glass of wine and my hubby asked for a glass too. I was just zoning out looking at the tree and then I noticed he was taking a selfie with himself drinking wine. I knew what he was up to, so I photobombed his artsy picture. 
(look inside his wine glass). I know this isn't a new picture so it won't work for this challenge, but I'm totally scrapping this story anyway. Hee hee
