Title: HAF Photo Challenge: "Spheres"
Post by: Recusant on March 16, 2020, 07:13:23 PM
Even if you're self-quarantined, you can still take photos and share them.  :)

The theme of the new HAF photo challenge is spheres. From hermes2015: "Spheres could be taken literally as spherical objects, or spheres of influence." Or indeed, anything else your imagination and whimsy might alight upon that in some way exemplifies the theme.

Up to five images will be accepted from each member, and entries will be open for the next two to three weeks, depending on response. I'll provide ample warning before closing the entries. Please send them to me preferably via PM, or via the email address in my profile: recusantathaf |at| gmail.com.

So we can submit pictures of balls?

Need you ask? That's why I chose the theme.

Just a reminder that photos you've taken in the past are completely acceptable. This is pretty much always the case for these photo challenges, but it seemed worthwhile to mention it explicitly given the current circumstances.

Thanks, Recusant. Even roundish vegetables would do!

Careful! I may steal your excellent surreal idea.

I think I must have been a bit deranged when I suggested Spheres, because I'm struggling to shoot anything half decent. I suppose I could shoot myself - I'm quite spherical.

Better, as they would stay in instead of falling off!

My suggestion is to delay submission of photos for a few weeks, until less stressful times. Assuming things will be better in a month or so.

Personally I'd rather set a date so we have something to focus on rather than CV-19!

All very well. We'll call that the "aspirational" date. Reserving the capability of blowing through it.

And a circle rotated about a diagonal becomes a sphere!

Thanks for the reminder. I hope we get many interesting photos, in spite of our limited mobility.
