This week we have another interesting subject for the Friendlymoose Photo Contest:
DECAY
Decay means the slow breakdown or decline of something over time. You can go many ways again with this subject, like abandoned buildings, peeling paint, rusty metal objects, but also rotting fruit, mold or or wilted flowers.
It's interesting to make a nice photograph of something that is decaying. Enjoy!
Tip: It might be interesting to play around with black and white for this subject....
Here is a recent shot I took in a brocante in France last may of some old chests with peeling paint.
Rules in short!
Create a blog post featuring a photo that fits this week’s theme or post your photo in a reply to this post if you're not able to create a good quality post from just your entry.
Be sure to add the following tag to your post: #FPC
Leave a comment on at least one other entry!
While archived photos are allowed, I recommend sharing a recent shot.
Add details about your photo: What do we see? Where was it taken? What inspired you to capture it? Which techniques or equipment did you use?
You may include additional photos in your post, but only the first image will be considered for the contest.
Optional: Add a link to your post and the photo itself in a comment on this announcement post.
About the Friendlymoose Photocontest
The Friendlymoose Photocontest (#FPC) is a weekly photography competition featuring a new theme each week. It runs from Sunday to the following Sunday, closing at 8:00 PM CEST.
This contest is open to everyone—whether you're an experienced photographer with professional gear or a beginner capturing shots on your phone. All are welcome to join!
Each week, you can participate by creating a blog post featuring at least one photo that aligns with the current theme. Make sure to place your themed photo as the first image in the post. While you can submit an archived photo, it’s more engaging to head out and capture something new!
Your photo should tell a story on its own, but add context in your post. Share background details about the subject, location, techniques you used, and your inspiration for selecting this photo. Don’t forget to tag your post with #FPC so I can find your entry!
You’re also welcome to leave a comment on this post with your photo and a link to your blog entry.
The contest ends next Sunday at 8:00 PM CEST, after which I’ll review the entries and select three winners. Judging will be based on both photo quality and originality, as well as the accompanying background information in your post.
Winners will receive Hive tokens and Ecency points.
