Every week we select a new theme to shoot. This week's theme is Necessities. Be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme -- the sky's the limit!


Here are the rules:

1. Shots need to be taken between sunrise Monday and sunset the following Sunday. Because this activity is supposed to encourage us to get out and shoot, please don't post old shots from your archives. Snap shots and art are equally welcome -- just get out & shoot, and then share!

2. Post your shots at any time during the week.

3. Post a maximum of two shots if you're uploading them to POTN (i.e., attaching them). You can post more than two if you're linking to shots that are not hosted by POTN (i.e.,embedding them), but keep within POTN rules. Also keep within POTN rules about size. A copy of the size rules can be found here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=194511 (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=194511)

An index to previous weeks can be found here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=170603 (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=170603)

That's it! Have fun!

Oopps! I misnumbered this thread.
It should be 147, not 146.
I tried to edit it, but it doesn't seem to want to work for me.
Another computer mystery.

and because of that Necessary Part (my truck with studded snow tires) I can go and take my camera to places like this before the arctic cold comes my way

Very nice, John. I especially like #2. Are those people tracks, critter tracks, or a combo of both?

You guys expecting the brutal cold like us this week? Supposed to be 1F Thursday for the high...with lovely 20-30mph winds. Ahhh the Midwest in winter!

It's time to think about our next theme.
Gee, I haven't even been able to think about "necessities" yet!
Partly because (as John's shots show) baby, it's COLD outside.
5 degrees F this morning.

Here are some ideas.
If you have others to suggest, please do!

1. Feet
2. Round
3. Low Perspective

you know when this was posted last week I was looking forward to shooting for it, now we need a new topic already! too cold is an understatement!

But I remembered I did shoot a little mid-week and I will say that Candy IS a necessity!

My sentiments exactly!
Your candy makes me hungry, and I'm not even fond of candy!

It is home made hard tack candy sent by a friend for the holidays, wanted to commemorate it :)

No one voiced a preference for a new theme, so I just arbitrarily decided on "Round.":)
