This week we will have the theme of street corners, this would also include road corners, in the city, the country, or a small berg, it doesn't matter. I thought with just going "corners", but that could be another theme another time, so I've narrowed it to street corners. Your photo can include people, animals, vehicles, or a bare corner. Alley corners count too! Possibilities are endless. Have fun, I'll post a couple samples that will be easy to outdo! Good luck and get out there! Challenge will run through next Sunday25 September 2011, your time.

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 (or Samsung DSLR) camera will do.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

And the final rule...have fun with this.

Inspirational samples? Mostly cause I can't play in this one!

I'll play. Looking thru the Washington Sq. arch looking north up 5th Av and east on Washington Sq. North. Taken with the trusty old DS and the Zenitar 16mm fisheye.

NaCIh20- how do you expect us mere mortals to compete with that shot. FABULOUS!

If I ever visit NY one day i'm sure to get lost .
Nice theme, Ramseybuckeye. And nice samples too.

Well... not an outer corner, but an inner corner? Does it count?

NYC this ain't! (obviously - Ft Worth Stockyards last November)

A wank in a pickup truck screeched to a stop nearby and said I could not photograph the Irvine Company buildings.

It seems it is the same with yours as here: complaining about the youth hanging around, but when you observe well there are more retired men terrorising the streets....

A street corner in Rotterdam (south)

This photo was taken on a Sunday morning in July 2011.
It shows the heavy building activities in this area. On the left, the Cruise Terminal is visible.

Equipment used:

Petri 24mm 2.8 lense
Kodak Farbwelt 200 film
