WatchCrunch Photograph Club: Your weekly photography challenge!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Welcome back to your weekly Photography Club, and temporary home of the #1wc (though not many challengers left now!)

Big thank you to @Max for kindly helping out with last weeks challenge and setting the theme of 'Friends'.

I really loved this theme, as we got to see a glimpse the lovely people behind all the wrist shots.

His runner up this week is @Fieldwalker with his lovely post and set of photographs...

From @Fieldwalker: "This one’s easy!! And it even aligns with my #1wc choice happily

My GS Sakura 413 is the ‘cherry blossoms’ watch…and cherry blossoms means great times with friends and family for me 🌸

It’s tradition to do Hanami every spring. It is family and friends getting together to sit under the full bloom cherry trees to drink and eat. And we should consider our luck that we’re there together in this beautiful spot."

Well done!

The winner of the challenge will be in Tuesdays newsletter, as always.

For this week we have @Whitesalmon as our judge and theme setter, so check out the comments below to see what he's chosen for us!

Have fun everyone!

Okay Light & Shadow Crunch Crew.

I’ve been given the auspicious honor of selecting and judging this week’s theme. I love the ocean, After all I’m the Whitesalmon. Water's my Jam! So to celebrate two thirds of the earth’s surface.

 My theme for this week is "Get Wet”  

I’m not saying you need to go full shore break! like Clark Little. But if you’re going to get your shots in the bath tub..makes some waves. Be creative! 

Bonus points for action and being outside in the elements. Time to test that 3 bar/atm rating or put that DeskDiver to use. FYI Clark is sporting a Panerai Submersible(not my photos). I’m wearing an Invicta 1953..🌊🌊🌊

For someone living in the Ocean State I don't have a many photos ready as I should. What's funny is today was a planned beach day but our son is sick so that's been postponed.

Ok @Whitesalmon !

I know you are in a small boat and probably eating salmon right now, but I did another photoshoot so please scroll this far down. 😉

Water is kinda my thing so it’s 2 photoshoots for me this week! Wavy Kanagawa shoreline for 1st shoot, and now some evening laps with Sakura for the second.

#1wc #grandseiko

Swam a quick 1500m at 1:30 pace in my local 137m long lap pool B4 night shift and here’s some of my fave shots :

Looking from pool deck to the ocean beside me:

Image

Our pools wind vane has a beautiful stroke!

Image

And fun some underwater pics:

Image
Image

And if curious, this is what the pool looks like from a distance (shot 2 days ago)

Cheers 🍻

Ooohhhh, I got a idea for this one!

Can you add me to the tagging please, @Deeperblue?

Dude time is short, I want to see what you have !🍻

Ok - saturation bombing you, sorry! 2 more pics from about 2 months ago of blue glacier watch in blue glacier fed mountain river :

Image
Image

I don’t envy you - so many excellent pics in this thread I’d be sunk trying to just pick out - 1 or 2 😱

·

I've been looking for interesting water all week, and haven't really found anything good, so I'm kinda gonna cop out and post this.

I call it "deflection, a #1wc cop out"

Oh Bones- you’re being dramatic!

My response to another who (perhaps correctly) questions my sanity :

Of course I’ll swim with it! Cows get wet and chicks dig patina!

Correction: not just ‘water’!

Chlorinated saltwater! 😜

(And - Thank you for the kind words: immaculate lux timepiece sounds lovely!)
