Another series, built around the theme 'HOME'. This first week around this theme
we will make a photo in our backyard. This 'backyard safari' is not only for those
with an actual backyard: make a nice photo of or at your balcony, or even a
flower pot will do or a common green behind your flat building. Be creative!

Just some backgrounds and some ideas:
sorry, no clues this week....

Time Frame: pictures for week 41 are to be taken and posted between
20110507 and 20110515, so from May 7th 2011 - May 15th 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.

This is my budding apple tree with the framework of my garden in the background. Spring has been a long time coming so I was aiming for a dreamlike quality.

Super entries so far, guys. There's PLENTY of room for more, and only three days left! Backyard can be interpreted quite broadly, so even if you live in a city, there's plenty you could shoot...

Shot this in the back yard before the petals all fell.

Not much of a backyard to speak of where I live-grass and concrete wall. Little space for anything. But I do have this view out the back window, from my bedroom.

There's still time to shoot and enter, folks!

From my backyard. The birdbath is homemade and I wasn't sure the birds or animals would use it because of the bright color. So far there has been no problems as I caught this little guy getting his share of the water. There is water in the outer part he's stretched across, but he seems to prefer the water in the middle hole.

Here's one view from one side to the other. Not a very deep back yard (most is in the front) but a nice lush area, especially after the rain we've been having. Island with Magnolia and Azaleas among other things, and my attempt at getting to eat some of out blueberries this year...bird netting strung over a PVC tube frame. We'll see if it works.

This contest is now closed, but the current P52-3-42 Home: Cooking/Dinner is open! I'll post winners on the Backyard contest later today.
