Welcome to episode 21 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge! As we jus thad another great week of contributions, I thought it might be time for another curve ball with this week’s theme.
I’d like to challenge you to produce photos with the following theme: Unusual! Capture something or someone, clearly at odds with its environment or looks rather strange all by its lone self. This challenge is very much about observing your environment, and noticing what is out of place, which is a great exercise for the mind.
This also will give you an opportunity to hone your photography skills, because you’ll have the opportunity to capture the reason for why your subject is at odds with the world around it.
As an example of what I’m looking for, here’s a little vista that I uncovered when looking to photograph a beautiful sunset during a trip to Chincoteague…
You can see what I was thinking, as seeing the dumpster and port-a-potty right on this beautiful beach made me chuckle; it gave me something to contrast the beauty of what Nature presented against what humanity contributed.
For those who’d like to participate in this weekly challenge, the rules are the following:
- Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
- Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
- Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week
- Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!
I have every confidence that each of you will be able to highlight the unusual in the world! This should be a lot of fun to see all the results of your creative endeavors!!
Technical Details
This image was captured with a Canon 5D MkII using an EF 24-105mm f/4 lens. The exposure settings were 1/160 second, at f/8 and 400 ISO.
WOW! You are so prepared for the challenge!! Well done!

Fantastic!!
Curve ball it is !! Love your photo. Made me smile 🙂 Nature trumps mankind’s contribution every time !! 🙂
Curve ball it might be, but the first response shows the preparedness of some!
It will be interesting what catches people’s eye for being out of place…

Glad to hear they are out of there! I thought this was an interesting sight to behold that made this sunset even more emjoyable.

Great to hear! Looking forward to seeing your creative thoughts. Be well, Debbie!
I adore this theme! Not sure what I will contribute, but I love a challenge. This is an amazing photo 🙂
Thank you very much! I think it would be really cool to have your contribution, as I’m sure you’d have something creative…
What an amazing photo Frank and a great theme. Look forward to taking part.
Love seeing your contributions every week!
Done Frank!
I learned so much. Thank you. Blessings.
Great to hear, Debbie! Have a wonderful evening!
Your unusual vista is simply fantastic. I’m very interested in the art of finding beauty in mundane objects. I think this photo embodies that kind of ideal very well.
Thank you very kindly!
