WatchCrunch Photograph Club: Your weekly photography challenge!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Welcome to this weeks photography club and temporary home of @Aurelian's #1WC. This is where all challengers need to post a picture related to the weekly theme before I put up the next weekly post (which can be any random time on Sunday).

We had a fun challenge last week, set by @Ichibunz with a theme of "Watermelon"!

His runner up is @marioap with this gorgeous shot...

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, DM me to let me know๐Ÿ‘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.

Thanks @Deeperblue and @hakki501 . I feel so humble. I was finally disqualified from the #1WC but hope to keep contributing to this group. Great pictures indeed!

Hello lovely people.

I've been given the honour (that's how it's spelt by the way... with a "u"... don't argue ๐Ÿ˜) of picking this week's theme.

As a Welshman I thought it should be something relating to Wales. I considered castles, coal, daffodils, leeks and the little town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch but in the end it could really only be one thing.

We are a country of 3 million people but are outnumbered 3 to 1 by our woolly friends...

Sheep ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Over to you... enjoy

Keep them coming, senyor! ๐Ÿป

Congrats @marioap for the lovely pic!

Just new to this competition, so the winners of the ๐Ÿ‰ theme are yet to be announced or its already published?

We don't have many sheep in South Florida, so my daughter's stuffed sheep in the morning sun will have to suffice. #1wc #Week2challengecomplete

Very well done @marioap ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Today, the runner-up(s) is announced above and then the winner is announced in the newsletter that is published on Tuesday, I believe. Have a great day.

Here's my effort to ensure I'm meeting the #1WC rules..

Congrats @marioap !!

Here's my take on sheep. My wife is an avid knitter so I borrowed her glass head and one of her knit hats for a watch photo. The glass is a bit thicker than I realized so the watch looks like a reflection.

Sheep!?? Car seat covers to the rescue.

Really wish I had actual sheep close to me but alas, I do not. All I've got are the sheep for Minecraft, but they're still just as lovely ^_^ #1WC

There's a house with sheep down the street from me but they're not very friendly and I'm fairly certain they're in a cult.

While on my driving break today... Sheep! I yell as we are passing at 50mph, the person driving did not yet know about my weird challenge I was taking part in.

Instead of just thinking it, now they know I'm crazy. (Thanks @Aurelian, @Deeperblue, and @GasWorks)

This was in the middle of nowhere NM, almost home.

I was planning on taking a picture with the sheepskin that I picked up while in the Cotswolds last summer, but this seems more appropriate.

Iโ€™ve been looking for sheep all weekโ€ฆ peoples houses, a bar, etcโ€ฆ. It gets a little awkward having to explain why Iโ€™m looking for sheep. I should have come back to this thread earlier and see how others are thinking outside of the box. ๐Ÿ˜‚. Cheers

Mixing my two loves; watches and board gaming. There are a ton of sheep in board gaming. #1wc

You should DEFINITELY say hi. They won't bite. It's cool. Plus it's not a cult. It's a community ๐Ÿ˜Œ

I naively thought the topic couldn't get any harder than a watermelon. But behold, we are surprised with sheep. So, I decided to search for some connection between "sheep and wristwatches" and ended up finding an article by Hodinkee (There's Nothing Wrong With An Homage Watch): https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/theres-nothing-wrong-with-an-homage-watch

And that is it what we have this week for #WPC and #1wc

Mission Accomplished!

Tough challenge. No Welsh lamb in Canada, it all seems to come from New Zealand. Fifty bucks for a leg. I would much rather have photographed a happy fluffy gambolling lamb, but couldnโ€™t find one in my suburban neighbourhood.

Took this photo on monday to get on with the challenge:

But then figured it might be too morbid for such a lighthearted theme, so heres some nice sheep for a wristshot. #1wc

I kinda like how the dial looks distressed in this picture.

Just for clarity on the sheep...
