ecurb - The Devil

Hi everybody September 1st is my first day in work for over a week.  I might be busy!  So I'm going to set this new challenge running slightly early.  It's slightly more difficult than others I have done.  But I'm sure you will all get the hang of it really quickly.

 ecurb - The Devil

Bad luck Ronnie!!!

You may have to go back into that strange place called the kitchen for this one!  But maybe not I'm sure you will all be able to find loads of examples.  I have listed a few above to get you going.

Most of all have fun!!!

 ecurb - The Devil

This is a great challenge, this will get the brain and the creative juices flowing, nice one David!!!

Here we go folks, here is my first entry by example, tobacco and ash.

Great start Ronnie.  And for this you did not have to go into the scary room!

 ecurb - The Devil

Nope   :b_grin:

Magic!  I'm over the moon!  I had a feeling this may be a flop.  I hope not.  But you never know.

 ecurb - The Devil

Well this thread has great potential David, and it isn't rocket science, there are tons of things that apply to this threads criteria, just knowing where to look, and I am not counting the kitchen right?..LOL!

Ohhhh, good one!

I ran right out to the plant with my seed packet in hand....   Thankfully there was still a semi ripe 'mater to be snapped.

: ) 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless? 

Yes lots of great ideas here, I will do some myself this coming weekend.

 ecurb - The Devil

Oh damn it -  Yvonne you stole my idea for a tomato shot :(...LOL!...Guess I will have to come up with something else now!

It takes one tree to make a billion matchsticks, but one match to burn a billion trees

Here is an example to keep you going

The film has never been used the motor gave up before I had the chance to use it.

 ecurb - The Devil

Here is my old Canon 10D  and my even older Nikon APS SLR  That's the one that gave up working about 9 years ago.  I don't through many things away! 

 ecurb - The Devil

 Okay this is not my usual style so I anxious about posting it.  I didn't much like the original so I heavily postworked it and gave it a rougher look which I kinda like.  It is water and bubbles.

 Not sure if this counts, lit lightbulbs?

Good samples guys and girls...keep going...lol

Since I had to bake a "thank you"  pie anyway.....    I made two, the second just for this shot.    Guess what kind it was   : ) 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

I just thought to check the new challenge ... no link from last month's!  This is a great idea, David - I'll have to start thinking!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Yes there are links, ie. at the top of both photo gallery and photo forum and in last challenge.  I checked all work

 ecurb - The Devil

good job David this is a pretty interesting topic you've come up with... good idea keeping the old cameras too, you can always use them as a dispensible prop in a shot if you need to.. it'll still at least LOOK like a functional camera ;)

I happened to be doing some food shots for stock and realised that this one might fit the bill for this month's challenge..... homemade (by me!) cherry & raisin flapjacks on a bed of jumbo oats.. enjoy!

Last night I bought an EOS 50e 35mm film SLR.  Just want to try one out.  the film / batteries will probably cost me more than the camera.  But hay it's only money.

 ecurb - The Devil

wish I could be so nonchalent about my finances!!

I'm worth a lot dead, and minus a lot alive!

I didn't mean the link from the Photography page, I meant a link from the previous month's challenge.  Sorry to be unclear.  If you announce the new challenge as a post in the old one, and provide a link, everyone who participated last month will know about the new challenge without having to remember!  It's like advertising ... Personally, I need all the help I can get to remember everything I'm doing here!  LOL!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

This is a wonderful challenge.... my brain has been really going bonkers. I wanted to find a couple of really challenging items.

Here is the first one.... simple.... cotton.

The second one is a bit more challenging...... music.

Kim Hawkins

LOL! Do I have a wide range of musical interest or what?

Oh yeah, for you youngins out there, beside the CD and a cassette, the other round one is a 45 rpm record and the square thing is an 8 track tape!

I know someone out there is thinking "OMGosh, this lady still owns an 8 track???? Get her out of here"!!! LOL :P

Kim Hawkins

Okay! That was fun. Now for the tricky one!

Can you tell me why these two objects are the same thing in different form?????

Kim Hawkins

Both wonderful!  I delighted you are all getting to grips with this challenge.

 ecurb - The Devil

Starting your own challenge now!     I have no idea

 ecurb - The Devil

Ohhhh,   ohh, ohhhhhhH!  (said in my best Arnold Horschack voice)  Both the bottle and the material are made from plastics    

Love the musical shot, but where are your 78 records?!?!!?     

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless? 

Meowgli, yummy looking "flapjacks" but where I come from that means pancakes. Although I think I'd like your version of them better than pancakes.

I knew they were both made from plastics, but I didn't get here soon enough.  Dang!  LOL!

I'm still thinking.  I've got some ideas in the works ...

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

You know, I believe I've gotten a rep around here for being a drinker!  It's almost closer to the truth that every time I pour a drink I take a picture of it and post it!  LOL!  I've taken about three months to go through a third of this bottle.  Hmmmmm ... okay, maybe half.  But here you have vodka, and a vodka cocktail.  * hic! *  

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Just in case you want something a bit more sedate and "Auntie"-like from me, here's a couple balls of yarn, and the afghan I made from the yarn.

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Love the knitting Tara and a Vodka looks so teasing. Red and blue is cool together.

Hope my dinner fit in a challenge. Simply meatballs.

seeyus  T

that's a nice afghan!

cloth and thread = pretty picture. :)

Now I see you are really getting the hang of this THREAD!!!!

 ecurb - The Devil

LOL!

Okay, I have to admit, I don't own any 78 rpm records, only 33&1/3 vinyl!  I
I do have an MP3 player I was going to photograph with these items, but didn't have access to it at the time I was taking the shot!

Now here is the question:
I have already posted 3....... can I post more? Or am I done until the next challenge?
Like I said, my brain is really going bonkers on this one! LOL :tongue1:

If you have something great, I'm willing to let you bend the rules, for 1 or 2 more.  I'm just pleased you are having fun and getting involved.  This is what it all about.

 ecurb - The Devil

Let her have another one (two) pls...she is good!

seeya T

Just heard about this. I've been missing out!
Hope there's still time to participate?

No, you did not miss nothing. It goes till end of this month and we have a new 'assignment' for a next month.

happy snapping...seeya  T

Another food item:

it's a Indonesian ricetable side dish, called krupuk which is made from oedangs (prawns)

Looks good Martin, If I'm ever in Gennep I will pop round for dinner.

 ecurb - The Devil

you're welcom

Fantastic work, Martin!  Wow.  I love your watercolors, and this is a great way to demonstrate this month's challenge.  Nice!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Well I'm kicking this bot in the pants for not sending along the reminder to come look at what y'all have done in here lately.

So many talents aside from the photography (and yes I'm even including your beverage mixing abilities, Tara :tongue2: )

I'll have to get busy on my third submission, have the idea, just have to do the follow through with the shutter button.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless? 

** ****"Work"**

Yep, this is the same object.  I do the layout of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) for our company.

The engineers do the design on paper, which I then convert to a schematic diagram just visible in the top right of the image. 
This is then used to do the layout of copper (actually the etching away of copper) visible in the screen on the top left.
The electronic files then go off to a manufacturer who does the etching of the copper coated fibre boards, bottom left and in the centre under the magnifying glass. Voila, electronic forms to material form!

I took this about an hour ago, before heading home for the day.

Cheers,
Clive

Nice job, Clive!  I work for an electronics manufacturing firm as well, and this is verrrrrry familiar to me!  I knew I'd been there too long when one day I was reading an article in the National Geographic about too many PCBs in the water, and how dangerous that was.  I'm thinking ... ??? ... WTF?  All of a sudden I realized they were NOT talking about the item pictured above!  LOL!

Lots of cool stuff coming in here :)

Here's my second entry David !

Cool kep them coming people, we still have loads of time left this month.

Ok, here's my third shot (with a little help from the kitties)

Food & Poo'dFood   :tt2:

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless? 

Ha ha ha! Love the kitty shot!

Poetess, I think the litter box is quite familiar.    Delicately handled "different form"...
Ours refuse to eat in the same area as the boxes(3).

I don't blame it, I don't eat when I'm in or near a toilet!

 ecurb - The Devil

Actually, I had to put the food bowl there to get my shot and fortunately, nosey Cleo came along and put her head in the bowl just as I was framing the shot of Raven in the box. So it made my end product a bit better than planned.

Normally they eat in the kitchen a ways away from the utility room.

The cat photo is fantastic! A very clever idea made even better by helpful cats. :)

What a great challenge!  I'm sorry I came so LATE in the month!  I think I have a few ideas ... I will post tonite.. :)  What fabulous ones posted here!
