Made of Plastic

January 2024

33⅓-rpm LP groove - This is a nostalgic take on the contest's theme of plastic, one form that seems a necessity and a treasured piece for many. The detail here is incredible and use of flash lighting is creative too.

I appreciate the angle taken here, it feels such a minimalistic approach to capturing this majestic scene. Overall, this links to plastic in multiple forms, my main take here is the use of translucency in the atmosphere and architecture. Simple with a great statement!

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Plastic has transformed our lives, and is shaped and used in countless invaluable ways, in practically every situation you can think of. Uses range from the purely practical to the purely aesthetic, and exploring your world with plastics in mind can be mind-blowing when you realise quite how ubiquitous it is. How have you shot objects made of plastic, and if you haven’t, what might you turn your lens on? Of course we’re also now more aware of plastic’s serious negative impacts, and these may or may not feature in your images.
