Wow! Our last week around the concept Colour, at last.... This 20th week of
P52-3 we will focus on the theme Without Colour. The first idea was to ask
for B&W photos, but sepia etc. is ok too.

Just some backgrounds and some ideas:
5 Black and White photography tips
Black and White the digital way
40 Beautiful examples of Black and White photography


Time Frame: pictures for week 20 are to be taken and posted between
20101211 and 20101219, so from December 11th - December 19th, 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.

Mark, You find the most interesting people, and most don't seem to mind you, or do you not show us the unwilling too often? Great job as usual!

Rense, I really like the swan, it gets my imagination going on what is around it, I can think of drawing things into the shot, well done.

Lisa, nice capture of the fence pattern, the lighting makes a nice contrast.

Thanks Tom-I think keys are:I work fast, and am confident. By the time I'm done most people are probably thinking, "Who was that masked man and did he take my picture?" For the ones that know I shot them we usually exchange smiles. For the minority that are pissed off-I pretend I don't understand

For now, this is what I'm happy with, but we'll see what the rest of the week holds out. From today's FoFL project:


SMC Pentax-M 1:1.7 50mm @ f/8, 1/200", ISO 100

[jax_zee]

Only PP was adjusting tonal values...Single light source, no flash using K10 with 50mm a manual.

[Rense]

Only PP was adjusting tonal values.

Any chance of hearing from you what it is???? Besides a great photo? After the challenge?

1st off, thanks

Shot at an art exhibit featuring illusion. Being quite basic in idea/design, consisting of a single bulb (wattage unknown) on a circular base enclosed in a sphere extending maybe eight inches from white wall but the effects are spectacular...imo

Great contributions so far boys and girls.

My shot for this project:
Just a street in Acqui Terme.

I am not sure if this fits the theme, but if sepia etc. are o.k.....

I've decided to post a new entry. This one was taken with monochrome in mind, whereas the previous was somewhat of a let's-just-convert-it-because-it's-a-B&W-photo-challenge thing...

cross-posted elsewhere, but here it is...

Been a tough week to get out, I was finally able to get a few minutes this afternoon. I was shooting at a local abandoned depot when a westbound freight came through.
