We have challenged you to photograph food and kitchens, today it was time to photograph the table and its surroundings, an apparently easy challenge, only apparently easy. Do you accept the challenge?
HOW DOES IT WORK? (REMINDER)
Every week I will propose a new challenge , it is a topic that you will have to capture in a photograph and upload it to the Facebook page of the blog, putting in the description the keyword that I will indicate for each topic. The themes will be varied, from portraits to Macro photography, going through landscapes, black and white photography, or babies. The topics will be proposed on Saturdays, so that you have the whole weekend to work on them. You will have one week to upload your photograph (one photo per participant), until Friday of the following week. On Friday or Saturday I will update the article with the photo that has captivated me the most and I will propose a new topic, and so…
WEEKLY CHALLENGE 126: TO THE TABLE!
Mealtime is an important moment for our body and also representative of our lifestyle. With a single snapshot you can guess if a person leads a healthy lifestyle, if he likes traditional food or if he is more of food from other worlds, if he usually eats in company or alone. An image of a family meal can also be very graphic and quite tempting to be able to capture its essence through a single snapshot. That's why this week I challenge you to photograph a moment of lunch (or after dinner).
You can focus on the food or the diners, yes, do not forget at any time that it is about achieving a good photograph, telling a story, obtaining a beautiful, interesting image. The dish in front of you can be very tasty, but if it doesn't have visual interest, don't show it to us, better dedicate yourself to savoring it... ? Take care of the composition, the colors, play with depth of field or perspective, that's up to you . In any case, it brings out the best in you (photographically speaking ? ).
As usual, to participate in this week's challenge upload your photo to the Facebook wallfrom the Photographer's Blog: In the description of the photo, please mention the keyword “A la table challenge!” followed by a title of your choice .
ALTERNATIVE MEANS TO PARTICIPATE
For those of you who are not from Facebook, I have enabled new social networks to participate.

UPDATE
It's time to eat... literally ? so today I don't get too wrapped up, you've made me hungry!
Among the photos of this week I prefer the one of Jesús Pena, «Thoughts». It is a well composed photograph, with a good focus and a very well worked black and white. Apart from these technical aspects that make the photograph correct and beautiful, this scene tells much more. As I said in the invitation, how one sits at the table says a lot about the person and his story, and Jesus has managed to capture that essence. In this case, he has managed to tell a story and convey an emotion. Not all people sit down to eat or have a coffee surrounded by joy, there is not always a delicacy ahead of them to enjoy. In this case, our protagonist is the very image of loneliness. Not even the fact that there are more cups on the table gives the impression that he is accompanied, quite the opposite... it accentuates the feeling of loneliness even more when surrounded by people. Our protagonist observes how, around him, life (of others) passes. Good image, Jesus, congratulations!
