On behalf of Nick (nvitalephotography) this is assignment 51: Household Items
A lot of photos are judged based on subject matter alone, not the techniques and skills required to capture the scene to its fullest potential. So for this assignment I want to switch it up. Your subject should just be a common household object, focus on the composition, lighting, DOF, etc. to make a winning shot instead of a winning subject. Now people with access to amazing landscapes or rare wildlife don't have an advantage due to better subjects. Get creative.
The following photos have been selected as finalists:
Name: Bgood
Motivation: While not technically a photo of an item. It captures the idea of the assignment perfectly. Using a common item to create something so unique. Awesome

Name: Bgood
Motivation: The lighting and pattern the books create is perfect, making a boring subject really stand out..

Name: Andrew Stringer
Motivation: This looks like it could be an advertisement for a high-end knife. A product shot that is actually unique.
