Sally Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 If you have taken any photos during 2020 then you will undoubtedly have something that reflects a very unusual year affecting everyone across the world. It seems fitting I think, when cases are on the rise in many places and the end still seems a long way off, to make this the first challenge of a year which will hopefully end better than it starts. Given the long list of topics already set, I found many I thought had already been chosen. It’s going to get increasingly difficult to find new ones and it will be interesting to see how inventive we can be in forthcoming months. Rules are the same as always: any Alamy contributor can post up to 3 images that are on sale by the deadline of midnight January 31st UK time. The image should convey something about the pandemic, whether it be someone wearing a face mask, a closed notice, social distancing etc etc without the viewer needing a caption to know it was taken during the pandemic. I will choose a selection for everyone to vote on in a poll following the deadline. Here are a few examples of mine: 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanderingemu Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Congrats on winning. This is going to be tough to choose 3. Thanks for the instructions however that narrows it down as many of my Pandemic images are about the adaptation, so caption required. Will choose this week-end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I realise it may be a tougher challenge than usual as it's limited to one year. Maybe it will encourage people to take pandemic related photos though - you don't have to go outside to do so as some of my examples show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) I have one image with "pandemic" in the keywords and it does not stand up for itself so I am going to have to search through all my 2020 images batch by batch. Ah well! It gives me something to do. Be back later, much later. Allan Edited January 7, 2021 by Allan Bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aphperspective Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I don't think the family they just rescued gave a damn about correct wearing of face masks. Safely back after a call out. The Ghosts need masks as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybille Reuter Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Congrats on your win with your perfect penguins! Tough challenge really, every picture from last year is "pandemic" somehow. I see a winning picture already though Here are my three: 1) Schrödingers covid on a Vaporetto in Venice. Didn't see any fish in the canals (was probably too late for my stopover during the "good" phase) and wish my involuntary model was wearing their mask right but I really like this semi-hopeful split shot... 2) But in march.. All the deserted landmarks. Hadn't been to Brandenburg Gate in years, but walked there just to see what it looks like without people. Some others on bikes, everyone taking pictures of this rare sight. 3) And this was true all year, not much to add. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
