Pencil photo challenge

A pencil is a six-sided stick with a sharp point and a pile of shavings.

How to shoot it

• Shoot the sharpened tip in close, with the grey graphite point and the curl of wood around it.
• Sharpen it over a dark surface and photograph the pile of curled shavings.
• Line several pencils up and shoot along the row so their points shrink into the distance.

How the object of the day works

Every day, everyone on Rawly gets the same everyday object at the same moment. You shoot it live in the app: no gallery, no filters. Then the community votes, and the shots with the most votes from other people win the day.
