Project 52-2-47 Subject: The Forest
Posted By: Rense, 05-24-2010, 08:07 AM

Because Rob - Mithrandir - is still not able to post the new P52 for NEXT WEEK, I will step in again.....

For week 47 we again concentrate on subjects, but it is less abstract than last weeks: The Forest

(Pictures for the week 47 competition are to be taken and posted between 20100530 and 20100606, so from May 30 - June 6 ).

NOTE: We have two Seasonal competitions planned for the last two weeks of year two. You may take pictures for these anytime between 20090705 and the posting dates of 20100704 or 20100711. This way you can include your favorite holiday or season whenever it occurs during the year.

Rules:
1. Anyone and everyone who is interested in eligible. The goal continues to be
have fun and share comments, concepts, insights, and techniques with fellow
Pentaxians.
2. Each week will feature a Theme and Sub-concept for you to explore.
3. Post your single picture in Project 52-2 thread for the week. Explain what
motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly
theme.
4. Some post-processing is OK (adjusting white balance, exposure, color
saturation), but let's try to stay away from heavily PP'ed images here. Try to
keep the creativity to photographic techniques and the captures themselves.
5. Since this project is about technique, and not camera, shots taken by nonPentax cameras are allowed. Cameras can be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot and Medium Format.
6. There is one “Theme Concept” labeled “black and white,” but feel free to post
black and white, sepia, monotone, etc., for any of the other themes.
7. The picture you post should be taken during the week in which the theme is active to be eligible for judging.
8. Any picture taken from 20090705 to listed closing date is acceptable for the two “Seasonal” competitions – Projects 52-2-51 & 52.

Since it is'nt specific in the original thread, and Lisa has asked the question:

for·est (fôrˈĭst, fŏrˈ-)


noun
  1. A dense growth of trees, plants, and underbrush covering a large area.
  2. Something that resembles a large, dense growth of trees, as in density, quantity, or profusion: a forest of skyscrapers. (a forest of flower blooms)
  3. A defined area of land formerly set aside in England as a royal hunting ground
And what kind of forest is in Las Vegas? And where are the meadows?

How about a forest with windfall, taken today at Two Jack Lake near the Banff townsite.

Forest "Vegas Style" (just for fun)

This is me, 'crusin the meadow' along side the forest! Taken by my wife with her trusty P&S (never leaves home without it.)

Taken at the Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort, just 50 minutes from the strip, on Mt. Charleston. (Really!) Mt. Charleston, (11,916 ft), is visable from the strip and there is still snow on the mountain.

Forest: Looking Up



I usually don't go this heavy on the PP, but I like the sense of disorientation.

Some very nice entries so far!
Well, this afternoon was my only time to take pictures this week. (A couple of weekend graduations and the wife has gone crazy) And it turned out to be a rainy and thunderous day. Kinda quashed my plans.
So in the spirit of still wanting to participate, here's my offering. Just in fun.

I love alll the different interpretations. Great imaginations and representations of all things "forest".

("former member of the forest"...I think I saw those guys perform once).

A couple of days left... what else you got?

Yesterday we had a day out with people from work and I brought my camera!
The day started in a forest and I took this picture near a lumber-mill.
Here they water the wood, which improves the quality.
