Rules
1. Anyone and everyone interested in the challenge is 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 52-6 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 non Pentax cameras are allowed.
Cameras may be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot, Medium Format, et cetera.
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 thread start date to listed closing date is acceptable.
9. The WINNER of each weekly challenge is the JUDGE of the next weeks Project 52-6.
10. The host (in this case noelcmn) may participate in the challenge, provided he/she is not the judge.
11. Closing date for the challenge is Sunday at midnight in your time zone. Late entries are accepted but subject to the acceptance by the current weeks
Judge.

Good luck everyone, and happy clicking!

Birds are us.....
Evening Grosbeak

Here's my find...
a local Galah, also called the Rose-Breasted Cockatoo

[slowpez]

Missed focus a bit and it was taken through a window but it was the best one I could come up with. I do like the background though.

Going for a group shot of...

Mourning Doves Waiting for Dawn

I was hoping to make it out to the Park, maybe tomorrow. If that doesn't happen, this is my entry.

A walk through the park looking at each other.

I took a walk with my telephoto lens today and although I could hear birds I didn't see any until I got home. A capture through my dirty living room windows will have to suffice.

[noelcmn]

My rusty Washing pole always has something to offer.

Here's a trio of cormorants taken only a couple hours ago by my K30 and K200/2.5 plus 1.4x-S.

I went out this afternoon to try to get something for this challenge, on the way to the woods I planned to walk a bald eagle flew out of a tree as I came around a corner, I jumped out to attempt a photo and the eagle actually did a circle around before flying off. I got a couple decent pics, but this little dark-eyed junco posed very nicely for me instead of flying away. Must be saving his energy for migration.

All I have this week is this fellow walking across the road.

So many nice bird shots. it would be a tough job to choose 3 of them.
I've been out of town the whole weekend, and just got some internet.
I think this challenge is officially over. Will announce winners later today.
