The thread is certainly bringing out the creative and thinking side of everyone it seems - my only worry now is the first item that comes along that completely stumps me
Yv, I am glad Trace I am sure it will happen at some stage to us all Yv but thats all part of the challenge eh?

..................... my only worry now is the first item that comes along that completely stumps me
Yes - that's my worry too - I take a good few days to work out an idea. And the first person that I need to to convince that it is a good one is me.
I like this thread because it is similar to what I was doing with friends/family - I asked them to give me something to photograph - could have been something out of a kitchen cupboard (eg a tin of beans!
) or a family heirloom. But they have all done that now so this is a really good follow on.I was given a wide range of things to photograph and learned a lot from it eg the difficulty of photographing glass objects. The ones I couldn't get anything out of were:
- a collection of golf 'buttons' - the things that golfers put down when they remove the golf ball - there were about 20 - all from different golf clubs .I ended up arranging them in a triangle - but wasn't really happy with it - I had tried using them to create a tree of 'fruit' but that wasn't any better
- a glass window dangler thing that was long and thin and I couldn't work out how to get it to fill the frame
But one family heirloom I was given - a spoon - worked out really well in the sense that the friend liked it so much she had had it blown up to a 60cm x 40cm picture and it is now on her kitchen wall.

Me too Chris, then quite often the original idea ends up being tweaked to make it work better!

Funnily enough, when this all started, in the other thread, I suggested a tin of beans, so when T gave it as a theme I knew exactly what I was going to do, very clear in my minds eye..... and of course, didn't. Partly due to the weather having suddenly changed and partly by being inspired by other photos already appearing in this thread to be more 'adventurous'. My day to day photography work more often than not involves people and even when it's 'products', it is straightforward stuff that shows an item off, rarely can imagination be allowed to do what it wants. So yes, I agree with that, its been about starting with an idea and then tweaking it, sometimes into something entirely different

Weather didn't play ball this week so I had to cobble together the idea in PS.... beans were a stunt tin fished out of the cupboard
Some people find a pot of gold.. all I found was this giant tin of beans...

Good idea and decent execution.

OK, I lied, I did actually get out of bed and take some photos...mainly because we had a full moon last night. I can only hope the neighbours didn't see me at some godforsaken hour trying to use OCF, and some pegs....
Anyway, this is the result after some editing - not quite as dramatic as I hoped though I might do a better version if I can fit it in before Monday comes round again. So, without further ado...

Like it. Very creative. On the technical side, very well exposed.

That work for me. Like the graphic nature of it and feel it would be just as good in B&W.

Anyway ...... here is my entry for the clothes peg ...............
Black and red is a classic combination so I thought I would go with that.
Black and red indeed.
Cracking detail and the reflection works well.

Breaking free from the tyranny of the clothes peg... the maverick cat sock makes a bid for freedom
Square crop works well with this one as does the funky tilt.

First thing that came to my mind was the Damn busters theme tune.
Like it and I salute you

Hi, all, been a bit lax on this project :nono: but caught up with my comments.
My submission is below. I'm currently doing the TP52 and TP12 and I'm finding it quite hard to get out of the serious(ish) frame of mind that I have for these projects.
Also, wasn't until this afternoon that I noticed we didn't have any clothes pegs :bonk:

They're from the works rest room cupboard.

Well, so far, everybody likes my pic. Now everybody has six days left to do something better.Great take on the theme Vicky
Working hard? or Hardly Working?
Work can have periods of the latter. That's why I have a camera and a staff of Lego folk here.
