DC Photography Contest #160

[Ruby Eyes]

Welcome to the Photography Contest!

Here you submit photos you've taken and users vote on which photo they like the best!

  

Submission deadline: 14th April

This time, the theme is: Procrastination

Things that make you (purposely) forget about the task at hands in order to deal with said things as soon as you see them; your favourite procrastination items; stuff you created while procrastinating etc.

 

Voting deadline: 23rd April

 

Submissions:

sh20000sh's unfinished puzzle

Lagie's desert roses in need of repotting

GhostMouse's cat in towel nest

Little-Star's procrastination station, erm, bookshelf

 

Rules

- One entry per person.

- Picture has to be made by yourself and can't be just a reproduction of someone's work. If someone else's work is in the picture, there needs to be something extra.

- No manipulation besides basic photo adjustments (contrast, exposure, cropping, color balance, lighting, etc.).

- No text or framing in the photo. A signature/watermark is just fine, but it's preferable if you don't have "O Hai Eye Hav3 T3XT" (or something similar) present in the photo.

- When voting, please don't select your own image. This will ensure fairness.

- You are free to submit an old photo; you don't need to take a new one just for this competition.

- Winner hosts the next contest.

If we all take this subject seriously, you may end up with no photos as we will have procrastinated too lon... squirrel!!!

[BrazenChase]

Oh this theme hits close at this time of year, reminding me of how much I've let things creep up in my studies haha. 

 

I'll think of something.... Later. 😜

[Little-Star]

I might have to take a picture of my recycling bin that needs to be emptied for a few weeks... at this point theres more next to it than inside of it 🤣

[sh20000sh]

I had something came up in my mind. I might change my entry though.

 

Spoiler

After I won bronze Shimmer-scale, I thought about making a puzzle and put 2G as its prize. (You remember the bingo game when I was host, maybe?)

Spoiler

 

It was supposed to be last piece of puzzle. I made it last year but I didn't made other pieces until now. I think most of you won't be interested in this even if I made this

 

 

[Ruby Eyes]

It would be scary Do you have a collection of your puzzles online somewhere?

[sh20000sh]

I didn't put them online. I usually made them on class notebook and some of those were gone.

[Lagie]

My poor desert roses have needed repotting for a couple of years; I keep finding other things to do...

[GhostMouse]

Kia in her towel nest. I've been meaning to fold these towels, but how could I possibly move this cat from her favorite sleeping place?

Cats are one of my favorite procrastination excuses.... (Did you know it's illegal to move a comfortably sleeping cat? At least, that's the rule in my house!)

Not only there!

 

"GOD, why aren't you doing anything?!" - "Sorry, the cat is asleep."

[Little-Star]

When you don't want to work so you have a car crash on the way to work

Spoiler

Haha just kidding (Happened years ago and no one got hurt (though I totally destroyed my car and needed a new one))

 

But since I actually emptied my recycling bin, I can't use that anymore.

What I do when I am proscrastinating is often reading: (this is one of my favourite author)

Spoiler

*This is the real one*

Got my voting in, hope everyone takes some time to vote because it is always fun to support! Voting is simple and easy! And I am probably overdue on reading some Harlan Coben stuff myself, to be fair.

Thank you!

Congrats!

[purplehaze]

OOPS! Forgot to come back and vote. Oh well, it wouldn't have changed the outcome anyway.

Congrats @GhostMouse! Looking forward to the next contest.

Yes, sorry! I've had a lot on my plate lately (still do, honestly) but I've settled on a theme. The new post will be up in a few minutes.
