Photochain Challenge Edition 71 - Chain And Shell
Hello Italian Community. I am back for another promotional post of this creative and fun contest, the PhotoChain Challenge hosted by @davidesimoncini. The contest is on its 71st week and it has been nothing but fun and creative thinking all the way. Take the time to check out this Challenge and join us to become a PhotoChainer.
The challenge this week is to show a photo that has this two keywords or objects in it:
Object 1: CHAIN
Object 2: SHELL
And then, after showing a photo with these two objects, the participant names or chooses a third object as his personal keyword. It can be anything as long as the object is found in the photo.
Object 3: ANY OBJECT IN THE PHOTO
There are multiple ways to interpret these keywords or objects. The first is, of course, straightforward. Get a chain, get a sea shell then put them together and take a photo. But, what if you don't have one or both of these objects with you? Well, either you drive to a department store or a variety shop and look for these items. When you do, find a way to put them together and photograph them. If this sounds hard to do, try doing it and you'll find out it's even more difficult. That's where creativity and interpretation comes in. The harder object to find is Shell. If you are European this would be really hard to come by. So innovation comes in. For want of a sea shell, perhaps the shell of a fruit or nut can do. Or that of a turtle or snail. Or even a bullet casing. For Chain, perhaps a dog chain or door latch or necklace or bracelet will do. Anything with links. I can even imagine a line of dominos falling one by one and say this is a chain reaction. Do you get it?
Anyway, back to me and my photo. I am fortunate, actually, that I come from a place where beaches are all around our city. Sea shells are a common item here. Shellfish and food also are readily available. No problem with this. How about chain? Well, we have two dogs who we chain up during the day and let loose at night. My wife also has some braclets and necklaces which can be used in the photo. All I had to do was ask my wife to get these items from her magic box and do the photoshoot. Voila.
So many choices, actually. Here are some of the possible entries that I can submit.
Personal Keyword can be Bowl or Black.
Personal Keyword can be Cone or Red.
Personal Keyword can be Plate or Blue.
Well, you might be wondering where I took these photos. In our living room, of course, where my wife still hasn't taken down our Christmas theme decorations. This is the center table of our living room.
Well I would say the Chain and Shell decor are just as colorful as the other Christmas decors.
What's the next step? 🤔
I must choose which photo I will enter. And after I do, I must name an object found in that photo as my personal keyword or object. Why? Because if I win, then my personal keyword or object will become one of the keywords in the next Edition of the Challenge. There are always 2 winners, so each week,2 new keywords or objects are used.
Excited? Well check out the contest post in the link here and join us. No need to make a post. Just drop in your photo in the comment section of the contest post together with your personal keyword and get a chance to win 1.5 Steem.
I still haven't made up my mind yet which to enter. Let me think about this first and when I decide I will post it in the comment section of the contest post. Be sure to look it up.
Tagging our regular PhotoChainers in this post to let them know about the new Edition and that I await their entries. Come on guys. Let's go.

Funny that we will go back to the same subject/key word again and again 😂 my hubby was reading and make a note of the all photo chains edition. He told me that eye, stone, tree, colors except purple, already in the chain and we'd better find another key word to make it more interesting.
I can't give you any suggestions which to use in the contest, but you're a regular, so you'll know the best. There's no rules mentioned in the contest were violated. Never mind the repeating subject, as long as we have fun😉 good luck!
Gosh, if only I could be in my hometown, beach which never in the chain will be a good subject

Oh yes, sure, keywords, especially the generic ones are repeated more often. But even when repeated, they are usually in combination with a different word. I've never experienced an Edition that had both keywords repeated. And I don't know how far back your hubby went to research past Editions but we have had combinations that were really head scratchers but turned out to be really enjoyable. A few Editions ago we had BATTERIES and BEADS (Edition 57) and though these two words didn't seem compatible, the entries were spectacular, especially the winning ones. That was a fun Edition. But so was last week with PINK and STONE. The fun is figuring out a way to show them in a photo that would be appealing but different. We also had a combination of BALLOON and BLONDE (Edition 45). Again the entries were really spectacular and the challenging part was how to photograph those blondes without being seen.
Stick around. If it's fun you are looking for this is where it is to be found. You and hubby will definitely not regret it. And I have this feeling that with both your enthusiasm and energy PhotoChain will even be better.
Thanks for visiting 😊

Son fotografías coloridas y con muchos objetos que recuerdan la decoración navideña. La primera que muestras creo que resume la esencia del concurso.
Gracias por la mención, y suerte en tu selección para el concurso.

Thank you for your very heart warming reply. We are still in Christmas mode so our decorations are still about the season.
The first photo is a good choice but am not yet decided. I might take more photos if the opportunity arises. So it can happen that my choice might not be in this post 🤔
