Welcome to PROJECT 52-6 for the year 2014.

PROJECT 52-6-40- Lighting- Backlighting

Images for Project 52-6-40 are to be taken between the 17 November 2014 and 23th November 2014.


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. You may request to submit a photo outside of the time frame, but its acceptance is dependent o the judge of the week. Please try and keep to within a day or two (either way 92% the week. This is to make allowances for those that would like to participate, but for one or other reason, are not able to do so during the time given for the challenge, such as illness, weather, travelling etc.
9. The WINNER of each weekly challenge is the JUDGE of the next week's Project 52-6.
10. The Facilitator (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.

Here are some of the winning entries from previous challenges on the subject. Once again, they are inspiring.

May as well kick things off. Somehow I managed to pull off a low key look with these woderfully fluffy seed heads being backlit by the sun.
HD 21ltd @f5.6 Desite deliberately shooting for the theme I almost feel like Its not completely in character though!

Nothing wrong with that one Rob- fabulous! B/W seems suitable, though I would like to see the color version.

Thanks Rob for posting the color version, I like it better.

Had an idea for this challenge, involving this glass cube, except the time to do it (today) was just not possible, as the sun was still high when I had to leave for church at around 17:30, and long done down when I got back. So I thought I would give it a try with a light source of my own and though not what I had hoped, I am happy with it-on my flickr page. For entry in this challenge, i will go with this one, taken with the sun in the background, creating shadows and reflections.
