First shot...

Challenge #3 in the Use your eyes... after that: use your shutter series. Hosted by drmatiz.

Challenge has finished

When I bought my first digital camera my first picture was of the sandwich I was eating at the time I took it out of the box. When I buy a new camera it's now a little personal tradition to make the first picture one of a sandwich. I was wondering wether some of you do the same with the first shots with a new camera. Be honest please, it's not about the first GOOD picture, but about the genuine first one.

I suppose there is no way to know, and I really want to believe, but it is difficult for me to look at some of these pictures and think "yes, I believe this person unwrapped a new camera and didn't take a first picture with it until they were in an open field under a beautiful blue sky with fluffy clouds, or in golden afternoon light looking at a beautiful tree".
The hand held out in front of the camera, now THAT is easy to believe.
