Challenge 7: “Right Around That Corner!” - Winner Chosen
Or “ waiting round the bend...”
Hello everyone,
Let's go for an other challenge!
Listening to a classic song of Frank Sinatra, one verse from the lyrics of ‘Moonriver’ lingers; .. “Waiting round the bend...my Huckleberry friend...”
For this challenge we’ll be shooting corners and bends in our town that lead to a beautiful scenery, an architectural landmark, a river, a cathedral, or any other location you choose.
Imagine a tourist coming up to you and asking you to describe how he can go to ‘that historic townhall building’ and you say ‘you see that old man that plays the violin at that corner? Just turn right and you’ll see it appear before you, you can’t miss it!’
We’re required to compose both the corner and the glimpse of the scene in one frame. For example: we need to see the florist woman standing in the corner of a building and that glimpse of the beautiful bell tower whose church building we’d fully see if we turned around the corner.
I’m sure there are some very typical corners where you live and visit, so how about showing them off!
This can basically be an architectural context but if there are situations which can apply with other ideas , you’re welcome to submit that as well.
Good luck selecting your corner and what awaits round it.
Challenge 7 will be terminated by May 20th, 2009, Wednesday.

Re: Challenge 7: “Right Around That Corner!”
An interesting and very specific challenge, Yildiz. Might we submit more liberal interpretations of the original prompt?

WestCoast, I recognize that! That is a cruise ship heading out to sea in the Burrard Inlet after passing Prospect Point and sailing under the Lions Gate Bridge. People are walking on the Stanley Park seawall in Vancouver.

Nice shot, Westcoast! It's very imposing, as DK, hinted. I'm sure the view is nice from that boat, though.

Re: Challenge 7: “Right Around That Corner!”
This one was taken in January from a friend's sailboat approaching Golden Gate Bridge from Sausalito. This is small projection around which is the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
I hope this one fits the challenge concept.
With best regards,
Sury

Congratulations!
Now we have two perfectly-fitting entries already. Very good ones, WestCoast and Sury.
Love to see other situations, on water, on land and on air also, don't hesitate to go creative.

Re: Challenge 7: “Right Around That Corner!”
Does this qualify as a 'corner' too?

Breaking news!
Last moment developing news item:
The 'corner' of the corner challenge is being challenged by our more liberal wing challengers! We are challenged to reinvent our traditional 'vertical' corner and repose it on the horizontal axis. Now, the question is "shall we give in and be cornered or resist and be deprived of new approaches to corner theory?! Most challenging!!"
(Breaking news announcement over)
I think we can come close to being modest liberals ourdelves and welcome the entries. Dare I say it but it is good to see that the cotributors are challenging personalities...
Please continue uploading and remember that you can each submit more than one entry.

Re: Challenge 7: “Right Around That Corner!”
What do you mean, "challenging personalities?" And my picture has a real corner, too! It's right there, and it's being a-rounded by that reflection!

Re: Challenge 7: “Right Around That Corner!”
Hmm...You are a participating in a challenge, where you challenge the concept of of the good, old corner? Then you're a personality that challenges the challenge, my dear sir!KevinBarrett wrote:What do you mean, "challenging personalities?" And my picture has a real corner, too!

En guard at dawn and choose your lenses for the honour of the 'corner as we know it, sir'!
Looking forward to see all ideas with no restrictions..
