Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Metal
8 Jan 2013
This week your challenge is to show off a few photographs of items made out of metal.
For those of you who know anything about the Chinese 5 elements, I will be have each element highlighted for the next five weeks. For those who like to plan ahead, you can keep this in mind when you have your camera in hand..
Chinese 5 Elements
- Metal/Autumn: Lightning, Magnetism, Electric, Rust, Gold, Silver, Steel, Iron, Platinum, Titanium, Copper, Bronze, Brass, Blood, Stars, Diamond, Energy
- Water/Winter: Sea, Ice, Storms, Rain, Steam, Fluid, Sound, Mist, Acid, Salt, Time, Pressure, Moon, Mirror, Snow, Frost, Sugar
- Wood/Spring: Wind, Moisture, Air, Minerals, Ink, Mind, Rubber, Paper, Plants, Poison, Wax, Dissolve, Carbon, Clouds, Health, Space
- Fire/Summer: Heat, Light, Lava, Radiation, Sparks, Plasma, Explosions, Burn, Blaze, Oil, Ash, Smoke, Glass, Napalm, Sun, Matter
- Earth/Harvest: Clay, Rock, Dust, Sand, Mud, Crystal, Powder, Shadow, Space, Darkness, Gravity, Bone, Silicon
This week I want to see your metal in all shapes and sizes and made into a variety of item. Have fun with this challenge!
So lets show off some of your own photos that highlight items made out of metal. ENJOY!!!
How It Works?
- Most weeks I will come up with a topic and along with a tip on how to take a better photo. Feel free to write me with things you want to learn about.
- Go through you photo archives and see what photos you have that fits the current week’s challenge, or better yet grab you camera and take a new photo!
- ENJOY and have FUN.
Create a Cee’s Fun Photo Challenge post
- Then add a link to your blog in my comment box.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos and post, title your blog post “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge” tag.
- Remember to Follow My Blog to get your weekly reminders.
I usually will respond to your entry on your blog, rather than on my page.

Wow, Cee–I really really like this! I love the photo because of the rich and subtle colors–the chain links are gorgeous. And thanks for that list of Chinese elements–I may find a use for this in future.

Hey, Cee? Just thought I’d let you know that, though I’m not a photographer, this inspired me to more poetry. If you’d like to read it, here’s the link–and I linked to you, in case there are new readers unfamiliar with you.

Your challenges just keep getting better – love this theme and the fact that I can plan ahead – great way to keep my eyes “open” for inspiration!
Jan 08, 2013 @ 10:39:07
Wonderful idea. How fun!
Jan 08, 2013 @ 10:47:06
I like the subtle flecks of rust color in the blue stones and the blue cast on the rusty chain. Pretty cool.
Jan 08, 2013 @ 12:43:56
Great theme and time to plan ahead…what a bonus. Here’s my metal: http://eldysphotoblog.wordpress.com/2013/01/08/cees-fun-foto-challenge-metal/

Well, it took me a while but I finally found the opportunity to photograph some metal yesterday. A lighthouse!

Jan 13, 2013 @ 15:29:33
Liked the lighthouses. Was not letting me comment on your page. So doing here. Seams like if I comment a lot it cuts me off. I like to encourage blogs authors.
Jan 13, 2013 @ 16:38:24
Well, thank you! I’m not sure what happened but I’ll blame WordPress for this one.
