Greetings, y'all from the soggy midwest of the USA. Our last challenge was varied and full of creativity, thanks to Jill. I look forward to another Great Challenge.
Here are the details for our next Mini Challenge 157: “Still Life”
from Wikipedia: "A still life is a work of art depicting mostly inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects which may be either natural (food, flowers, plants, rocks, or shells) or man-made (drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, pipes, and so on) in an artificial setting."
(As I've just spent 3 weeks of my summer vacation trapped inside by rain and thunderstorms, I thought I'd try for a theme that is not seasonal or weather-dependent!)
As always, themes are open to your interpretation of it!
The Mini Challenges are meant to be very informal & encourage participation by having few rules.
In keeping with that spirit, here are the guidelines for MC 157.
1. You may enter up to 3 photos.
2. Photos may be shot with any camera and may be taken at any time.
3. The winner of a mini challenge chooses the next challenge and selects the winner, who takes the baton and carries on with it.
4. Please post your entries by replying to this original post – rather than under someone else’s post - and change the subject line to “My entry” or “Entry #1 or something like that to separate your picture posts from comments that someone may make about your post.
5. In the spirit of the previous challenge, I too, would like to nominate the previous host, to take over my role in the event of something happening to me, and that would be Jill.
6. The challenge will end on Thursday, June 25th at 23:00 hours GMT giving all some time over the week end to do some shooting, should they need to
The results should be up in an hour or two afterward.
7. As usual exhibition entries will be allowed.
8. As encouragement to all, everyone who enters or exhibits, please try to comment on at least one other photo. I know how much every comment means to me & I'm sure others feel the same way.
