May Photo Challenge – May 10

My challenge for the month has been to get the camera out and take at least five photos every day and I’ve managed to get something out of it to post each day, even if it’s not always the most satisfactory effort. I’d say only a handful are ones that I thought were any good at all.

Today, I was in the position of having taken a couple dozen photos and having nothing that I really wanted to keep. But I did keep these two, just as evidence of my effort. Part of me felt like it was an exercise in futility. The more rational side says that it is still valuable experience.

This is just one corner of our clothes hoist, with a couple socks that have missed out on being collected. These appeared in several photos but I found it looked better to keep them mostly in shadow.

Of the various angles I tried, this was the one I found most interesting. This is kind of okay but not quite what I was looking to capture. Others would have been much better but a slight breeze kept moving it around, making for too many blurry photos. Obviously the low light and the movement are not a great mix when you aren’t prepared for it.
