Weekly Challenge Jan. 6 - 12: Knife

"Knife/Knives" - (Needa)'s Choice

Any knife or knives; pocket, kitchen, mat, etc. Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!

DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY Jan. 6
This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 23:59 UTC of the end date.


The Rules

1. Photos must be captured with a Nikon and appear in the thread with EXIF info in order to be considered for the challenge. If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread including all elements of composites.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

4. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

5. This is intended to be a FUN challenge. No critiques unless specifically asked. Also, please limit posts to just photos and brief descriptions/titles. Any comments/discussion should occur elsewhere, PLEASE.



Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!

There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

Or your "Cutting Edge" images.

Gurkha Knife. Unlike so many Gurkha knives you see online claiming to be authentic, most are fakes. I got this knife from a real-life member of the Gurkha Army while in Iraq in 2003. I actually traded it for a pair of my unworn Desert Boots. Apparently their boots were real crap. This knife is indisputably authentic! It is hardly in pristine condition, there are some nicks and chips in the handle and sharpening marks on the edge. This knife is sharp as a razor, it is a good thing OJ did not have one of these or there is no telling how much worse things could have been for Nicole and Ron!

Ask a former chef to post a knife pic....

Only about 23 1/2 hours left for submissions.

Time to sharpen
