P52-3-18 Colour: Ton-sur-Ton / one colour
Posted By: Rense, 11-26-2010, 03:42 PM

Another Colour week! After a week of opposite colours, we want to explore
the effect of nearby colours: Ton-sur-Ton and/or One Colour. The idea is to
make a photo in one colour and its variations, without the help of PP. (Of course
PP is allowed for cropping, sharpening etc., but not for recolouring...).

Just some backgrounds and some ideas:
Ton-sur-ton on Flickr

Time Frame: pictures for week 18 are to be taken and posted between
20101127 and 20101205, so from November 27th - December 5th, 2010.

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 52-3 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 20100731 to listed closing date is acceptable for the two
“Seasonal” competitions – Projects 52-3-51 & 52.

Additional Information, including the scheme with subjects: P52 year 3

Have fun shooting!

Well....I thought I'd submitted one earlier today, my blueberry bushes, but it seems it's disappeared. So, here it is again. The afternoon sunlight was hitting them just right.

Thanks Dan. We have a couple of the bushes close together, so I shot this one looking thru to the leaves of a different one in order to get tone on tone.

Great shots here.

I never expected this one, but soon as I looked at it I knew I had to post it here.

Gadwall at a local lake, a few seconds later I spooked him and he flew off...got two decent shots first, but none as he flew away, no time at all to focus. These guys take to the air really fast...

Difficult challenge, Rense.
@John, I love your contribution, first I even thought it was a Fuchsia.

Here's my contribution:

Rense that looks great. I have an antique German mandolin that looks similar, same rounded back too. I haven't even thought about pulling it out and taking pictures. It's unfortunately no longer playable, but maybe one year I'll be able to fix it. The needed repairs are beyond my ability, I fix all my own guitars usually, but when it comes to taking one apart and fixing warped structural parts I'm not capable.

KarenH and willm I like those shots too, nice.

I'll play. This one wasn't easy. I took the obvious tact of finding something green. Romanesco Broccoli. My wife made a wonderful spaghetti dinner with this, anchovies and parmesan cheese.
