P52-3-37 Shapes - Spirals
Posted By: Rense, 04-10-2011, 01:28 PM

A new theme: shapes! And we start with spirals....

Just some backgrounds and some ideas:
....

Time Frame: pictures for week 37 are to be taken and posted between
20110409 and 20110417, so from April 9th 2011 - April 17th, 2011.

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: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/mini-challenges-games-photo-stories/10506...-year-3-a.html.

Have fun shooting!

Well, nobody is exactly taking the plunge here.
I haven't participated in this before, but I spied this yesterday. It was in the yard of the vacant house next door. Part of the fence blew down so I went over to wander around and look at the junk. Sitting there all winter or longer, I guess... Bruce

Not an easy project, and seems more like you have to "create" something. Not many spirals out there-you have to look or hunt quite hard. Found something last night, in a resturant. Two actually that qualifies. The first is my entry, the second for interest.

For kids-exciting spiral to the bottom!


Spiral to the Left only!

I've had a hard time finding a good spiral, too, but here's one which presented itself to me on a hike:

Ah Rense! I was hoping the ferns would be popping out this week here, but NO, they wouldn't cooperate.

Spiral Staircase

Shot this earlier today, because to me that staircase looked pretty interesting with the shadow on the wall and all.
