Weekly Challenge Weekly Challenge #560 - Low key

Weekly Challenge #560 - Low key · **1 Like**

Again thanks to Bruse Clark for the last challenge and the nomination.
I`m sorry that the winner can`t host the new challange. His picture really deserves that honor.

Well This week I have decided on a theme of Low key. I really admire the results from this technique although my own experience with it is not so successful.
So I`ll be glad to see your experience and interpretation here. Hope you enjoy the challange

Rules
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 one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera can be used.
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.

I asked my daughter to hold up a lens ball that I got for a father's Day gift, and stepped back a bit to catch her looking at it.

My trusty Guggenheim mug (I even cleaned it just for you).

K-1, D-FA 100/2.8. I stuck the mug in a ~~trash can~~ custom light box to limit the light to a single window, and handheld a flashlight to grab the reflection on the right.

Nicely done. I have a similar black fuzzbag that presents herself as a big dark hole in most photos.
