Greetings all! Another weekly challenge is here

A big interest in photography for me deals with capturing the ordinary things in ways that aren't so ordinary. I find that much of what catches my eye are just things sitting around my house. So I thought that this might be something [ironically] interesting to explore: the Mundane.

The challenge this week is to portray an everyday item/subject/etc in an interesting/artistic/fresh manner.

I want to leave this open: there's no set guideline on what is necessarily considered "mundane," but the challenge here lies in the final product. The end shot should contrast with the original subject in an artistic or interesting way--something to make you think, "Wow, I wouldn't have looked at _____ like that!"

It can be an Abstract, a special Point of View, a Macro, or whatever else you can think of.


Go find those shots that, without your camera, you wouldn't have thought to see!



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. If it's not obvious, explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme.
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge closes after 7 days, then allows for 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, the winner will PM the #2 winner and pass the baton to that person to be the judge.

This challenge will end Tuesday, December 18th, 11:59ish pm.
