Here's a topical topic for you. Personal Protective Equipment is featuring a lot in the news due to the spread of the new coronavirus so your challenge is to take an image featuring PPE - this may be items that could be worn for protection or people wearing such items - selfies or bribery of models allowed. Other non-healthcare types of PPE also suitable. Extra points for photographic quality and imaginative home-made PPE.

The all important rules:
1. The challenge is just for fun.
2. All images must be taken after the theme is announced.
3. All images must be uploaded by 8pm on Wednesday
4. All uploads must be B&W (or sepia toned)
5. Only one upload per member
6. The person who hosts is the judge for that week challenge and the judge’s decision is final
7. The winner gets to create, run and judge the challenge for the following week
8. Have fun
9. Try not to frighten the neighbours...

Good luck.

Back from my hiatus (work/home life balance issues) and it seems I'm the first in this week.
Well, I'm unlikely to get home early enough any evening this week to get the camera out.
So I'm doing what I can to stay inside and amuse myself through a minor cough/cold this weekend.
Good to be back. Smile

Good to see that some are well prepared. A little bump to remind others that there is less than 24 hours to get out your protection and take a photo. You have to be in it (or behind it) to win it Smile

You could have got protective goggles. That would have counted for this challenge. Wink

OK time is more than up. A select small group of entries but high on quality as always.

Linda - glad to see you back with a nice set of crampons - suspect you haven't needed them this year though.
Malc - Mrs S seem well handy with the chain saw - you had better be extra nice to her.
Eddie - great selfie looks like you have just realised your gloved hands have started to glow round the edges.
IL - I thought at first we were going to see Ledley dressed up when you said in the forum that you were looking across the room at your subject - I didn't realise it was 'that' room Wink

Well there has to be a winner and my pick is Gasmask with its dramatic lighting and reflection. Well done Alison - IL and over to you.

Oh flip - oh I mean thank you Phil Smile The chances of me getting Ledley dressed up are precisely zero alas and he was on my lap anyway !

I've not a clue what to set next - I'll have to sleep on it and hope for inspiration in the morning!
