September Photo Challenge DISCUSSION THREAD

[HoopyFrood]

So the new theme is up!

Have at it, and enjoy!

Please don't kill me...

*legs it*

[Mouse]

Um. Interesting.

Personification? I don't even know what that means!

(I love those cards too though, Hoops!)

 

[Perpetual Man]

Alchemist's picture says it all....

(Did you go looking for that or do you just have odd pictures of the Carry On team on your computer?)

 

[Talysia]

It's definitely an interesting theme. I'll have to put my thinking cap on for this one, and see what I can come up with.

I'd love to say that I have the rights to the never-started carry On film, Carry On to Mordor, but I googled.

 

[LittleMissy]

And what a genre you have chosen!

You said you liked constructing a photo... and I'm thinking there might be a lot of that in this one

Now, let's hope I didn't use up all my little grey cells on last month's "LIGHT". Must get thinking cap back on... I may be gone some time

 

[StormFeather]

Am loving the idea of this theme! Whether I can come up with something suitable is a very different matter, but I LOVE the theme!

 

[AE35Unit]

Something I came up with years ago:

Oops, wrong place...

 

[Mouse]

Nice one, AE.

I have a question, do we have to caption our photos too? Or can we just carve a face into a mango or something?

I remembered earlier (while pondering whether Beau would let me put a hat on him) that I once came second in the NFRS's (National Fancy Rat Society) photo competition with a photo of my rat, Malachi, brushing his teeth. And the caption was You should see me floss! I won't post the photo for this, as I have no idea where it is and it was taken back in the days when cameras used film.

 

[HoopyFrood]

Oh, no, no! I didn't mean we should all literally take photos like those card examples. As with all themes, it is open to all possibilities and interpretations.

I want to find a tree with a face...

 

[Mouse]

That's ok, that's what I thought! Just thought I'd check first before posting anything. (I also thought 'tree with face.' Spooky!)

AND BECAUSE HE'S A RAT!!

While I try to find the human made from junk that was outside a recycling depot for a year here (until last month), I thought I'd post some rejected photos from last month.

First, that double rainbow I mentioned. You may have to squint.

I used long exposures for the first time. In this one, I was limited by lack of traffic, lack of elevation and a max exposure of 8 seconds.

And finally, long exposure plus a coloured light function on my phone. I could probably have done a lot more with better equipment. Anyway, take that, Barney!

 

[Mouse]

AND BECAUSE HE'S A RAT!!

So? A pet rat, not a wild one. Not that there's anything wrong with wild rats either. They're clean, intelligent, friendly and loving. Stupid media and morons give rats a bad name. Grr.

 

[alchemist]

Well if he's a white one he's okay! It somehow manages to add a cuddliness factor.

Things are a little sensitive here at the moment. Yesterday I was given a box with the word Rentokil on the outside, and told to install it in the attic tout suite. We have visitors, and not the friendly, fantasy-writing kind either.

 

[Mouse]

He was a pedigree husky (now called 'roan' but basically coloured and marked like husky dogs) rat. No, I didn't know you could get pedigree rats either at the time.

 

[Brev]

Saw the theme and couldn't resist...I knew those holiday snaps would come in handy.

 

[Mouse]

I've spent the night ghost hunting at Kents Cavern. ^ Didn't see any ghosts though.

 

[HoopyFrood]

What?! Why? Why pick on the orange one?!

Unless it's being awesome and is about to kick the ass of all the green ones in Bruce Lee style or something. Yeah, there's a definite mean look on its orange face.

 

[Mouse]

Heh heh! Yeah the green one needs back up, but the orange one's so confident, it just turned up on its own to kick ass.

My office mate gave me her left over green and orange gummi bears as she doesn't like those flavours. They kinda all taste the same to me!
