Weekly Photo Challenge: Hands

Hands.  Hands can be instrumental in a photo – they emphasis, they hide, they reveal. They can be the star of the show, or just a prop to help the main attraction stand out better. In this photo, this hand was what kept me between life and death as I walked down a rickety metal staircase on the side of a cliff down to the beach. I was glad for that hand and I’m glad I captured the moment, too.

Share a picture that has a HAND in it with everyone! 

New to The Daily Post? Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals and give you another way to take part in Post a Day / Post a Week. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Here’s how it works:

1. Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.

2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.

  19. With these challenges I like to venture out and try to produce an image that is different from what you may expect to see or has already been captured. Doing so keeps me sharp trying something new that I’ve not shot before.

  25. My challenge is always relating the weekly photo challenge to my tennis blog. If it’s on the blog it has to be related to tennis. So I was so happy to see this weeks topic was hands. Not a big stretch of the imagination to relate hands to tennis. So here it is http://wp.me/p2cZUk-ml

  29. if I think of hands, I’m thinking of my hands playing guitar …
    http://flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/weekly-photo-challenge-guitar-hands/
    - and so you inspired me to play an old gospel, fingerstyle instrumental:
    “Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water …”

  30. Greetings Sara, Apologies for being so late on this entry. But I really think these hands will compliment your challenge. This is a cool topic to express. :)
