MUNDANE CHALLENGE 21 - Plastic Bag - July 22-28

July 22nd, 2013
Very pleased to announce the new object for the mundane challenge. I immediately thought of this item because I have too many, at times it seems I need several more, though I would like to eliminate using them entirely!

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!

The mundane object for this challenge is going to be...
...the plastic bag!

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 July 22 and runs through to Sunday July 28.

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

Please tag your entries mundane-plasticbag

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, ballpoint pen, shoe, and glass.

Have fun and happy shooting!

Awesome @tracymore .. I just wasn't sure if you could alter the plastic bag.. Ive been struggling with my photo mojo this week so the challenges are def helping x

@mrsbaldy To clarify, the plastic bag can be altered, and it can have something in it / under it / behind it. Have fun with this one :)

@tracymore great shot with the plastic bag. Interesting theme. I'll think about something.

@ikamera I'm looking forward to what you come up with Kiran!

Another example for inspiration...

@tracymore Is it just the grocery bag? Does big plastic bags like in this picture work?

Rain or shine, I'm right behind you!

July 23rd, 2013
@ikamera Definitely that works!
Basically, if it's flexible plastic and it is (or was) a bag it qualifies, and I'm fine with leaving that open to interpretation.

Do we have to recycle a bag or can we buy a new plastic bag for the challenge?
July 23rd, 2013
@jayberg Either new or used is fine!
