WatchCrunch Photograph Club: Your weekly photography challenge!

Happy Sunday everyone,

It's your weekly, completely legitimate, excuse to play with your watch collection.

Another long weekend for us here in the UK, thanks the Charlie, so you have no excuse not to spend a few mindful minutes taking a few watch shots for this weeks challenge.

Thank you to @WatchBee for setting last weeks challenge theme of “Light in the Crystal”.

His winner will be in Tuesdays newsletter and the runners up for last week are, in no particular order...

I know @WatchBee had a really difficult time choosing the top shots this week, so well done everyone.

This week @Aurelian is going to be our guest judge, so check out the comments for his theme choice.

Good luck everyone!

Notes for Newcomers:

If you are new to this thread and enjoy photography then feel free to post your pictures! We run a fresh photography thread each week, starting on the Sunday, and have a guest judge set the theme and pick winners each week. You are welcome to post as many pictures as you wish with a connection to that weeks theme. The runners up will be mentioned in the following weeks thread and the winner gets a mention and their winning photo in the weekly newsletter.

Winners also get an exclusive 'Winners Badge' for their WC profile!

If anyone wants adding to the tagging list let me know👍You certainly don't need to be on the list to post in the thread, it just helps people see the weekly post when its put up.

Happy snapping!

P.S. Thank you for your patience to those winners who don't have their badge yet! I'm on it!

Congrats to the runners-up, and advanced to the winner! 🍻

If they are the runner ups, some awesome shots. Can't wait to see the winner.

When the judge is late to the party it's now traditional to post nudes...

I am honored to be asked to judge this esteemed competition. The themes thus far have been universal and broad like “things that make me itch” and “why did I tell her the password to my phone?”

I want to widen the aperture of this week’s contest. (See what I did there?) I want you to take some poetic license. Theodore Roethke was an American poet who died in 1963. His The Waking and the The Far Field are important American contributions to the form. His poems about gardening bear re-reading.

Please connect your watch photo to this, perhaps his most memorized poem:

Dolor

I have known the inexorable sadness of pencils,

Neat in their boxes, dolor of pad and paper weight,

All the misery of manilla folders and mucilage,

Desolation in immaculate public places,

Lonely reception room, lavatory, switchboard,

The unalterable pathos of basin and pitcher,

Ritual of multigraph, paper-clip, comma,

Endless duplication of lives and objects.

And I have seen dust from the walls of institutions,

Finer than flour, alive, more dangerous than silica,

Sift, almost invisible, through long afternoons of tedium,

Dropping a fine film on nails and delicate eyebrows,

Glazing the pale hair, the duplicate grey standard faces.

I posted before 7:00 a.m. my time. I am nothing if not nearly punctual.

dust

This, I can do! 👍

I'm definitely going to have to take more photos. These are the only ones that kind of fit.

And if you're liberal with endless duplication...

·

I’ll leave this here just so you know I’m not screwing around when I say I appreciate a good poetry-themed anything.

Congratulations to all the runners’ up — that Junghans shot was incredible! 📸

Traveling atm and although that's exciting, sometimes a lonely hotel room gets you as melancholic as that poem.

Cheery poem! 😬

My brain stopped at pencils.

I know this is off topic for the week. would have been applicable last week for "light in the crystal" @WatchBee

But I thought I'd share anyway.

Apparently at 7:44 my SARX029's Urushi dial turns into a worm hole into another dimension😂

I will admit to having had to look that up.
