Welcome to PROJECT 52-7 for the year 2015.

PROJECT 52-7-07-Ideas-Love Story


Images for Project 52-7-07 are to be taken between the 17 February 2015 Tuesday and 23 February 2015.

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 52-7 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 on the judge of the week. Please try and keep to within a day or two (either way) of 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 52-7
10. JUDGE may participate the challenge, but the picture of JUDGE will be comment by 2nd and 3rd WINNER, and there is no podium place for JUDGE's picture. *** New Rules ***
11. The Facilitator (in this case scomatic) may participate in the challenge, provided he/she is not the judge.
12. Closing date for the challenge is Monday at midnight in your time zone, this will encourage people to snap the picture during weekend and post it up on next days. Late entries are accepted but subject to the acceptance by the current weeks JUDGE. ** Amendment **

Hi warrior, this month is Valentine month, and it's time to capture their love story moment... It can be very far into animal love, human love, parent love, and etc...

Anyway... welcome to new joiner, and hope to see you in our every weekly challenge event...

Example of this week theme photo:

I may have to steal that idea of the ring for this challenge-unless...

If I'm going to have people in my shots, this will be one of the toughest challenges for me.
Yesterday I was looking for people in KLCC Park, trying to get sneaky shots of lovers. LOL
Tomorrow morning with some other Pentaxian online friends, we're going on a walk in the city, maybe I'll find something there.

PS: Love making scene of insects is also a love story, isn't it?

Hahaha... yeah... It should fall under this scene too...

I am exited to see everyone's interpretations of this weeks challenge. Not so much the judging but for sure the shots. Good luck to all

It's hard to compete with such a samples, but I happen to witness love story on Feb.17
Everything was wrong: the light, the position behind the fence in the crowd, but it was the kiss I could not miss.

Sasha and the Kitten.

My brothers Pit Bull hates dogs but loves her little kitten.

[Tamia]

Well, this is going to be the best I can do...

Love in a Cold Climate This pair of jays have been inseparable for weeks. I wish that branch wasn't between them but I don't think I'll get a better picture for this challenge.

[mtux]

You're setting the bar really high guys and gals.
Here is what I came up with last night,
Shot this scene with 21, 28 and 35mm lenses, but at last 21mm won it over me.

[scomatic]

Today have nothing to do, so at my wife bridal shop... followed 1 professional photographer out today, and this is the harvest of today...

Lets have some fun. You can tell he has fallen head over heels in love by the look in his eyes

[scomatic]

Ermm... in Hawaii mode?

[patrick9]

I wouldn't mind being in Hawaii right about now. I used a headband my youngest granddaughter left here yesterday to dress the DL's love up

[Helena]

Hey, lucky me! Look what a beatiful love story I found out today, right where I live! I think this little baby was born this week, so it was a real weekly chalenge for this baby and his mother!

These are two roses I gave my wife. We both cannot remember when, or to which occasion. The only thing we can say for sure is that she liked them, dried them, and now they are decorating our window sill.
