THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: SLOW

SLOW is my choice for today’s photo challenge. When I first came up with the idea I thought of slow shutter speed (i.e. long-exposure photography), but then I decided to be less specific knowing that not everybody is equipped for long exposure photography, and the theme is just SLOW. You may show slow way of life (idleness), or any other kind of slow you can think of, or you can just be slow in posting your entries cause this time, due to my holidays, you have three weeks to publish your responses. The deadline is 9 August.

P.S. I am on holidays as of tomorrow and will not be able to look at your entries before 7 August. Keep well, and see you all very soon!

Please have a look at these wonderful entries to the challenge:

I don’t do slow photos, but it’s a choice. I lack patience, but that’s beautiful enough to make me think twice about it 😀

Lovely photo, Paula. It makes me think of my evening in Piran. I have a pair of ‘slow’ hot drinks for you from Buenos Aires: a social cup of Mate tea, or watching the chocolate submarine slowly melt in your Submarino. Which would you choose? http://bit.ly/JJ-mate
