Mundane Challenge 19 - Shoe

June 22nd, 2013
As the winner of last week's Mundane Challenge for the Ballpoint Pen, I have the pleasure of taking the baton and announcing this week's item.

The mundane theme was started by Aaron @grizzlyghost, for those of us who may have lost inspiration. He suggested we take an ordinary, boring object and start shooting it. Turn the ordinary into the extraordinary!

As you've probably seen already in the main title, I've picked an item no-one would manage comfortably to be without on a day to day basis, the shoe!

You are free to use any photographic technique you like to capture this everyday object. The only rule; there can be no question the object of the challenge is the star!

The Challenge officially starts today - 22nd June and runs through to the end of Saturday 29th June, so you all have a full week to get your creative heads on! The five finalists will be posted on Sunday 30th June (UK time).

I'm really looking forward to seeing your photography and spending time deliberating over your work and the lucky winner will get to host this challenge next time round :)

Any entries which do not fit the time frame will of course be admired but unfortunately not accepted.

Please tag your entries mundane-shoe

Feel free to post your entries onto this thread as well, as to enable inspiration for others!

The following is a list of objects used so far for the challenge: toothbrush, screwdriver, veggie peeler, bar of soap, scissors, electrical plug, paperclip, jar, language, cardboard, toothpick, hex key, hair comb, screw, button, key, coin and of course, ballpoint pen.

Have fun and good luck!

Hey everyone. Had some smashing pictures posted for this weeks mundane challenge thus far, so thanks and keep them coming!
Would just like to mention the abstract challenge running alongside this one however.
Get your creative brains in gear and post a shoe shot like you've never seen a shoe shot before!! The more abstract and creative the better! Simples!
Just tag the shot abstract-shoe to be in with a chance of hosting next week :)

Good luck!

@eyesmile thanks Gena. Yes that was all it needed to be considered for this week's challenge :)
Thanks for giving it a go!

Thanks to everyone who has entered the challenge so far, still room for plenty more though!

Just over a day left to get your entries in and be in with a chance of hosting next week. So why not join in and give it a go?! Take a picture of a shoe (any shoe or footwear related item will suffice) and try to make it as interesting as you can! If you think that might be too easy, try an abstract shoe shot instead - give your brains a creative workout!! Tag your pictures either mundane-shoe or abstract-shoe.
If nothing else, it can be an idea for your shot tomorrow!

The abstract mundane shot challenge is currently running alongside this one and the details of this can be located here: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/18289/abstract-mundane-challenge-shoe

Good luck to all those who have entered. I will be posting the finalists for voting on Sunday morning (UK time).
