Still Life Challenge #1
Along the lines of WWYD, I propose a new challenge based on "Still Life."
This will be a simple challenge using something that most everyone will have on hand, or something they can find easily, or cheaply. The challenge is taking the item(s) and creating your own unique picture with the subject(s) being the focal point. Feel free to do PP, but the primary focus is challenging yourself to use the subject in a new and creative way. (Think of this as a mash-up of Assignments, WWYD, and Iron Chef!) The first challenge is: Bottle Opener This dragon is thirsty

I will. It sounds like fun. I must get the "wee" one busy however, then find time to download, tweak, upload, post! Hmmmm. It may take me a day or two. Great idea - don't let it drop!

LOL, I've got a bottle opener and a camera, but I'm lacking in the creative mind department. I'll see if I can't find the bottle opener and try to think of something this evening.

OK - so here it is. I put my wine bottle opener in a bottle of Vodka and then took the photo, converted to B/W and added some noise. I did not use a flash...

The bottle openers I found were really nasty looking. I'll wait for the next challenge.
