Work: Weekly Photography Challenge
This week your challenge is to take a photo and then share it on the theme of WORK.
Work is something most of us do in one form or another – whether that be paid work, work raising a family, work at school, work in the garden…. or somewhere else.
Today we’re asking you to capture a photo on that theme. It could be a self portrait of you at work, a portrait of someone else at work, a shot of your workspace, an image of a tool of your work or something more symbolic.
Once you’ve taken and selected the ‘Work’ image that you’d like to share – upload it to your favourite photo sharing site or blog and either share a link to it or – embed them in the comments using the our new tool to do so.
If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSWORK to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
Also – don’t forget to check out some of the great shots posted in last weeks challenge – Classic Lighting challenge where there were some great shots submitted.

I would like to post the following photo:
This photo was taken in an abandoned medical hospital. Upstairs I found an office including an old writing desk. A lot of work has been done here in the past….! Now it’s been left behind and it has turned to an empty and quite place…

It takes a little “work” keeping this little lady, Zem, my Crested Gecko (Rhacodactylus Ciliatus) healthy and stress free. Plus, I “work” at a Wholesale Pet Supply Distributor, which is where I purchased all the supplies to set up her habitat.

We were hiking on our regular route when suddenly this large flock of sheep came up. The herder was working really hard to keep them together.

I had carried my camera everywhere this week getting shots of Men at Work for this challenge . All I really needed to do was wait until this unfolded in the middle of the night near my home. Working with low light is also a challenge (ISO3200).

I had been carrying my camera all week taking photo’s of Men At Work but what I only needed to do was wait unit last night when woken by this event nearby my home. It is a challenge working with low light (ISO3200)
