Every week we select a new theme, and then go out and shoot that theme. This weeks the theme is Contradictions. As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.


Show us Contradictions... You might use Photoshop if you like. I know not everyone does, it isn't required... You might create some contradictions, that could be interesting. You might just see some contradictions.

Here are the rules:
1. Shots need to be taken between Monday Sunset and the following Monday by Sunset (Whenever that is for you ). Because this activity is supposed to encourage us to get out and shoot, please don't post old shots from your archives. Snapshots 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: IMAGE POSTING RULES
That's it! Have fun! As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.
An index to previous weeks can be found here: POTN WORLDWIDE PHOTO WEEK INDEX

That's it!
Have fun!

Thanks, Steve! "Contradictions" is harder than most of the weekly themes unless you set something up. This was a lucky find.

Why is this Lens Sample thing so popular? :-(

I think folks just like to see what others have done with a particular lens. Perhaps they are considering acquiring a certain lens? It's convenient to have the samples in one thread.

Okay. Why is it so popular in threads that aren't about lenses?

The lens sample archive was a valuable resource before I bought my Zeiss 21, Canon 300 f4, and my 70-200 f4. What better way to research the capabilities of a particular lens?

You blocked that sub forum so you can't see Tim's photo. He didn't say a word here about the lens he used.

I know, I know. Every time a photo in a thread that interests me comes from a forum I've blocked, I have to choose between (1) going to the bottom of the page, changing the filtering setting there, viewing the photo, and going back down to restore filtering and (2) skipping the photo. The usual culprit is Lens Sample P. A., although Sony Cameras contributes quite a share in the Food subforum. I have no other reason to unblock those two. I'd rather not have everything in them turn up in New Posts and RTAT as distractors.

joeseph, it works like this. You don't see the Extra Low chocolate sauce because it's so low it's under the floor.
