When you upgraded your phone the last time, did you have to choose one with a whole bunch more space because your current phone is jammed full of photos of your dogs?
Wait is that just me?
I am doubting (and hoping) that I am not the only one who snaps a ridiculous amount of photos of their pets.
So your challenge this month if you choose to accept it of course, is to show me your best photo of a pet. It doesn’t have to be your pet, heck just a photo of any domesticated animal (that of course includes horsies and other farm animals) that happens past the front of your lens is fair game. The “pet” in question doesn’t even have to be the main focal point of the image so if it only makes a cameo hidden behind boxes in the way back of the frame than also counts as a pet photo.
Use any camera you like, be it an iPhone app, a DSLR or an old clunky film camera if you are into the retro photography thing. And remember outside of the box thinking is always encouraged.
Deadline for entries will be Wednesday, December 2nd. You are strongly encouraged to capture your entry in the time frame that the challenge is posted- since the whole reason for these challenges is to get people out there with their cameras capturing dynamic images on a somewhat monthly basis. BUT as always I will begrudgingly accept images taken before this challenge time frame.
Submissions may be uploaded to the handy Upload Kitsap Frames Photo Challenges here. link or emailed to me mreid@kitsapsun.com.
Chosen “stand-outs” will be published in an upcoming edition of the Kitsap Sun.
Here are a few photos from our archives to get you thinking (yes Larry and I have been known to zero in on animals for the newspaper quite often) and fine also a few pictures of my dogs from my iPhone archive because someone else besides me should revel in their cuteness:
