2026-05-12 Extraordinary Ordinary

The object of this challenge is to notice ordinary subjects and try to make it extraordinary by including the essentials and excluding distractions as much as possible. One way of developing skill in “seeing” the extraordinary in the ordinary, is to take as many pictures of the same subject in different lighting conditions, different angles or different contexts as you can possibly imagine. Give it a try and post your best images.

Here are a few links to inspirational videos:
