Default photo challenge!

just as an on the side thing, and mostly because im so damn busy i havent actually got the time of day to get out and about with my camera... im going to propose a challenge for those equally house bound by sheer masses of work.

i want you to take photos of things IN YOUR ROOM (or the room you spend most time in). being a student i spend lots of time in my bedroom, my beds there, so is my desk and computer etc.... so ill be trying to make the monotony of the room, interesting.

i think this should really get the creativeness going. being limited to a room, full of crap, means your going to have to break out the camera skills to get something interesting looking.

feel free to PP away as well...for me, taking the shot is only half the answer.

this isnt really a contest.... basically im just asking those who find themselves unable to get out and shoot subjects relating to the current running contests on this board to post pictures of crap in the room they hapen to be stuck in.

if you can get out there and shoot stuff relevant for the comp then dont come in. simple.

this is not a take over or a replacement or anything. i was stuck in my room working, and just began wondering how many shots, interesting shots at that, i could get from my room. quite simple really.

there'll be no prizes or distinctions or winners or anything....

to be honest i dont even look at the bi-weekly contests....

and no i dont have any old pizza boxes... not in my room anywayimages/smilies/tongue.gif im not a lard arse!

i swear sometimes on this board you cant do jack without someone complaining, or having to be given the nod of agreement or whatever..... lighten up, your're seriously sapping the fun from this place. yeah we have bi-weekly comps.... your point? there isnt room for something on the side? im pretty sure there is room for the weekly comps and this light hearted attempt at asking people to take interesting photos of stuff in their rooms to co-exist.

This is a pretty cool photo challenge idea, especially with cold weather approaching. Are we sticking with the traditional one photo per person per day or is it just sort of a free for all?
