Weekly Challenge 150: A Day In The Life
Posted By: mingdie, 11-02-2010, 06:36 PM

Weekly Challenge 150: A Day In The Life
It is getting very hard to come up with a theme that is not already used. So when I heard The Beatles A Day In The Life I got the idea about photos from our normal day to day lives. Let us see photos from your normal day, at home, at work, taking the dog for a walk or whatever.

Ladies and Gentlemen let us see a day in your life.

Challenge ends next Wednesday 10 November at midnight

The fine print....
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread, and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera will do or a Samsung DSLR.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.

So not surprised you're a chef. Composition and plating very similar.

Well, thinking this was a "take it during the week" challenge, I decided to drop this one in- a day in my life, on the way back from getting some groceries, and a day in the life of folks taking in a spectacular fall sunset on the shores of Lac St Louis here in Lachine, Québec! (I know I take bunches of pictures at this location, but couldn't help this one as I was toodling back home). Kit lens, slight blue saturation bump in LR.

Thanks, Mark- not sure if it really fits the theme that well since the subject is a bit more about the sunset and the lighthouse, but it felt right for me as it was part of my day!

BTW- your shot rocks!

Just as an aside (I know the competition is closed and mingdie is in judging mode!) but wanted to say how much I love Rense's shot- you are da MAN, Rense! The quality and absolute "capturing a moment" aspect of your photos never ceases to amaze me- you're always telling a story with your images! Thanks for haunting these forums.
