Thanks to Penny for hosting EOTB12 & for your votes and views :o) Without further ado, let's get going with number 13
For those of you thinking of entering, here is an outline of the challenge in the words of the guy who started it, Jeff Walker.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
For those of you that don't want to commit to a specific set of words for a month, are intimidated by the thought of being pushed by another 365'er, don't want to be constrained to a specific mundane object, aren't feeling the week's theme, feel you don't have the creativity, time or tools for album and wwyd challenges but still want to face down and conquer a challenge, I have just the challenge for YOU!
(Also, if you enjoy facing all the above challenges and can't get enough of challenges and want to add another challenge to your arsenal, this is for YOU as well!)
Here's the lowdown (and its fairly simple):
Your challenge is to find something most people would not consider to be beautiful, and find a way to capture it that IS beautiful, You can achieve it any way you desire. This challenge will help you with your composition and lighting skills. The way you compose the shot or the way you use light will usually be the way you bring out the beauty. It will also help you look at your surroundings differently. Everything is potentially a beautiful photograph. Its not a matter of finding something to photograph, its a matter of finding a way to photograph something that makes photographing it worthwhile.
There is not specific item you have to photograph for this challenge. And the only rule is that the subject you photograph has to be something that, if people were watching you photograph it, would be wondering what has possessed you to photograph something so plain, bland, boring, ugly, etc. Beauty is where you find it, and it is all around you. Train your eye to see things differently. @jsw0109
Got that? :o)
Challenge starts Thursday 11th July & ends Sunday 21st July.

@friend2303 i am not the law regarding this - honestly, read the brief and if you think props are your way of bringing out the beauty of something not normally considered beautiful then give it a go ;o)
This fire-hydrant is actually rusty and hastily painted over in yellow. I just converted it into black and white (but turned out mostly golden). In the eyes of our canine friends, it is a beautiful sight to behold :-).
