Hello all, and welcome to another great weekly theme. First off lets all say well done to Susan for winning the Antiquities theme last week. Her photo is shown below.

I spoke to Susan over the weekend and she has chosen us the theme of Extraordinary.

I love how ordinary objects can become extraordinary when seen imaginatively through a camera lens. So my suggestion for the theme is "Finding the Extraordinary in the Ordinary" with the idea that folks would take photos of ordinary objects but see them in new, unexpected ways.

How to enter


If you wish to enter the theme this week, please tag your photo (on the edit/organise screen) with the tag theme-extraordinary .

Good luck with your photos!

My friends told me I was just a paperclip, but my parents told me I can be anything I want to be. So I'm an astronaut.

I took a cool photo on the 31st and figured I would post an edit of.

The 9:07 was displayed on my microwave, and I used some basic functions on the camera like the zoom and a 1 second exposure time.

It made me think about lucid dreaming, and what one might visualize when looking at the clock in a half-dreaming state.
