Photography Forum Challenge - August 2015

Container

A container is a basic tool, consisting of any device creating a partially or fully enclosed space that can be used to contain,
store, and transport objects or materials.
In commerce, it includes "any receptacle or enclosure for holding a product used in packaging and shipping".
Things kept inside of a container are protected by being inside of its structure.
The term is most frequently applied to devices made from materials that are durable and at least partly rigid.

Can you contain yourself to 2 images a week?

** Please remember:**

Two images per member per week.
Image size: No larger than:
** 800 pixels X 600 pixels**
and 200KB

 A final container.  Here lies Calamity Jane and right next door is Wild Bill Hickock.  Just to get you started Clive.

Hi Clive this is again a great idea for the new challenge with many possibilities. Thumb up everybody! :)

@ Jeff:  A very original start of you, more something for "thumb down", and I have a great laugh here!
Let those containers please remain closed, although if you were going to dig, I am very curious whether you would indeed see containers.
So, where's your proof, Jeff, or did you bury them yourself?

Anyway, a cool first post and shot, my friend. :D

 Those are grave comments Jacomina!!!

Plastic tumbler (with baby)  :P

 crucibles for melting silver

 Two beauties Tara.

My favorite Mint Drops in a nice container. :)

Spicy containers from my Kitchen.

 Love your containers Helle.

fun stuff, Helle!  

@ Tara, Oh what lovely that sweet baby, Tara. And I love the mood on your second too.

@ Helle, indeed splendid container with all the colours on, and your kitchen invites too cook right away.

I didn't got e-bots, but has found you, friends.

And look what I've found for this challenge, two shots from last Sunday. nr. 1:

Very old containers, huh?

Nr 2 is old too, right?:

 I love your old containers, Jacomina!  :)  Lots of them from the first shot are from American companies, and I recognize them from my childhood!  :)

Thank you, Tara. I was thinking of you when I saw this oil cans, and was sure, you could make this picture a lot better.  :D

Now I must say, the light was very bad, and I had some problems, 'aiming' good from a distance, there were so many people always in front of my nose. :)
But I recognized several too from my childhood, as my father had a Harley Davidson, and behind our house a kind of workshop, to create many hobby projects, and tinkering with its motors.

 It's a great shot, J, and nothing to apologize for!!  :)

:]

 I'm glad you got your first pic in the 'can' Jacomina and I see your second is 'just in case' !!!

Two super shots and I hope you understand my stupid humour! 

 lost my P&O PICTURE

Here is a container to go to go with your oil cans, Mies!

 Nice container, Clive!  :)

It's the 9th already, so I guess we're in week two.  Here's a few containers hanging around in New Orleans.  :) 

 Love the tank Martin and your shot Tara.

 The cans in our garden. The bottom one has a robins nest in it.

@ Jeff Well that's great Jeff, I like those cans,  And thank you so much for your funny comment on my uploads.
I didn't got any e-bot from this challenge (again, grrr)

@ Tara, it's a lovely photo and a very nice idea too.

@ Clive, Yeah,, so cool your container!!, and you can use all my cans ;-)

Here my nr. one for this week.

It is filled with delicious  Dutch beer.

 Looks like that will go down with a bang !!

Super clear image Jacomina. 

Thank you Jeff, I think you have a lot of humour today, so maybe you've already 'spent' on the beer.

"We maken er een potje van" ;-). . That's a Dutch saying, if you're just rumbles on. But I guess in English they say: "we are cooking a pig's ear"?
Anyway, here are a lot of pots to messing around with :)

 This is the pottiest pic yet in this challenge Jacomina!!

Nice capture. 

Thank you so much, Jeff! :)

My cat checking out my yarn basket.

What fun, Bakapo!

Time for me to enjoy the fun.

Here are some garages

It's nice to have your house always with you.

WOW, Christian, that second one is so very lovely to me! I love the way of smoothness and that background colour behind it. I hope you put it also on your gallery, my friend.
That first is a really big one all together, and perfect in a row.

Wishing you all a great new week (in your own containers :D).

The 'after-party':

Nr 2 : some container from my kitchen.
btw, Some problems here with the changes at RR, f.e. I don't get e-bots of any upload, etc.

Hi all, is it just me and my provider (Ziggo, unde a d-dos-attaq) or does nobody recieve mails telling a friend that you follow did a new upload ?
and... are you able to upload new photo's ?? I don't

thanx for any tips or explanation
juliette
ps... I miss you all

Hi Juliette,
It's not Ziggo, for me it's the same, and I know that a lot of our friends are disappointed by the changes on RR. There are some topics where the members complain about all what's going on. I guess you could find them by click on Community, and then by forums, or news. I don't know. Ik hoop dat dingen weer 'normaal' zullen gaan worden. ;-)

ohhh, the month is almost over and I like your containers! stunning how many different possibilities - this challenge could during a year ....I like the tank of bike and the garden cans very much - and all others of course!!

my first is my beloved camera bag :-)

and my knitting basket, waiting since long time to be used again... perhaps during the winter again ;-)

That are very nice containers Priska. I like the colors of the second one.

@Juliette
I don't like the gallery changes also. I've had also problems to upload an image. But now i was able to upload a new one.
But i don't like it that we now have to upload a thumbnail also.
In the forum some users quit ReRo already. I hope that it runs better soon.

I love your entries, dear Priska; great idea too.
Well, I was searching very long, and with help from Karel I found the challenge (almost on the end).
And now my last here.
It is an old coal-scuttle. There in earlier times they scooped it full of coal to place beside the coal stove.
I can still remember that we had at home a long time ago, outside a very large wooden box with a lid, and there were a lot of coal (ovoids).

Very nice capture Jacomina.
Here is my last one for this challenge.
Can you guess what it is?

Wonderful done Jacomina, brings back memories of childhood!

To Christian: Trolley chip! yes? cool done!

Thank you Priska and Christian. :)

Hi Christian, when I saw your picture, at first I thought it was a supermarket trolley. Namely the slot where you should do an Euro in. But the color is not right. A parking meter then? Neither not, so I guess, I don't know.
Please tell us, my friend. :)

Almost the end of the month, here is a common container on our roads....

@Jacomina and Priska
You are right. It is a chip for a supermarket trolley. This one allowed it to use a plastic chip also ;)
By the way: i found the trolley far away from the supermarket. I think someone probably brought it from the supermarket (no it was not me ;-) )

Very nice capture Clive. Have you take this one out of the car?

@ Christian,
So it wasn't you. Ha, will we believe it, that you haven't taken this supermarket trolley home? For it's so easy to transport your heavy camera, right?
@ Clive,
Very impressive to see this long road and great view, plus this large container-car, Clive. I think I see a little piece of your car, so presumably you drove on this road too.

One goes ... ;)
