September Photo Challenge DISCUSSION THREAD

[Moonbat]

mmmmm Gummy Bears!

 

[Brev]

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

Sounds fun...that pic of the face was about the only one I took which doesn't have an 'Orb' on it...

...although whether they're the Flash reflecting on dust particles or evidence of spirit manifestation, is up to you?? But I wouldn't want to spend too long down there with the lights out.

 

[Mouse]

I spent all night down there with the lights out! Was pretty cool (we had to wear hard hats and everything!) but not very scary. The scariest thing was the slugs. That place is full of slugs at night time!

Also got lots of orby photos down there, but dust, bugs, or ghosts? Dunno. I've been on lots of ghost hunts and Kents Cavern was the least spooky.

Um, back on topic...

 

[Talysia]

Great pics already! I really like this theme.

We've been growing runner beans this summer, so when I saw this thread I wanted to see if I could use them for a pic. After making a background of sorts (and legs/arms) out of paper, I got the arrangement to my liking and took the photo.

 

[Mouse]

Taly, love it. We've got runner beans coming out of our ears here!

 

[alchemist]

Loving the runner beans here too, and my 7 year old will vote for the Meccano.

Mouse, I'm sure that I would have titled that one, "I suppose you're wondering why I've gathered you all here today..."

 

[Mouse]

Heh heh! Yeah, I was going to title it, actually, but changed my mind as I don't want what I think's going on in the picture to change what other people might think's going on in the picture.

Some really fun entries this month, I have to admit Alchemists really made me laugh when I first saw it. Some very inventive stuff coming out at the moment.

Just posted my first one, and have an idea for my second...

 

[Mouse]

Perp, your tree has boobies.

 

[Perpetual Man]

Well I have to admit I did not see that!

 

[Mouse]

Maybe it's cos there's a tree where I walk the dog that also has tree bosoms. Makes me smirk every time I see it.

Thanks, PMan! Is yours an Ent?

 

[HoopyFrood]

Mouse, Pep beat us to the tree face thing! *shakes fist at Pep*


Taly, I bloody love your runner beans! They're so good!

 

[Talysia]

Lol - thanks! And thanks to Mouse and Alchemist, too (we've still got a glut of runner beans, too - been eating them for a while now!)

And I love the tree, PM. I had the same idea as Alchemist - that it could be an Ent, too! I've been looking for a tree with a face in it for my second entry, but I think I might do another foodie one. Should be interesting.

 

[Perpetual Man]

HAHROOM! HAHROOM! It just walked up to me when I was out for a walk and said, "I've been thinking, perhaps if I talk at an Entmoot, it might be nice if someone took a photo."

 

[chrispenycate]

A moot point.

I've always taken a "personification" as an actual person, a sort of living example or epitome. A bit like Piers Anthony's "incarnations if immortality".

Thus, if I could take a photo of myself and caption it "the personification of prosaic pedantry…

Unfortunately my face is not correctly integrated with my character - very few people's are. The picture doesn't transmit an obsessive punctuation freak, but a slightly vague santa clause in training. I nearly asked an ageing punk this weekend if he'd like to pose for me as the personification of bad taste, but couldn't work up the courage. The photo of my grandniece surrounded by spilt jam and fragments of ex-jamjar (personification of innocence) the lighting's not good enough, and she's got too big for a retake to bebelievable. So what greater principle – emotion, situation, position can I find within range of my little camera? Industry, lethargy, conviction, stupidity? don't watch this space, there is a powerful element of chance involved in this process.

The personification of chaos?

 

[Talysia]

I love the gingerbread man, PM!

Well, I've posted my second picture, based on my user title. It took a while to gather up all the leaves and arrange them, though!

 

[HoopyFrood]

Gah! I thought you couldn't top those runner beans, but Lady is zarking amazing!

Taly, you should definitely use that as your avatar.

Thanks Talysia, a spur of the moment thing when Perp Jr. was playing with his car and (meant to be) eating his Gingerbread man.

Unfortunately said driver met with an unseemly accident after this photo was taken, it is unknown what happened exactly, but there was nothing left to really identify, although it is known that his last words were 'Crumbs'

Ahem.

Loved the face as well, really clever - and I imagine it would have taken a lot of time to arrange so well
