Welcome to PROJECT 52-7 for the year 2015.

PROJECT 52-7-08-Ideas-Creative Power


Images for Project 52-7-07 are to be taken between the 24 February 2015 Tuesday and 2 March 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 **

Funny..Thanks for the laugh.

It is raining today. I really need to invest in a WR lens. I took some shots through my kitchen window of the rain on the water on the tarp on my pool. . I like this one where the white balance was set wrong. I used a promaster 75-300 f5.6 manual lens on my K-30.

There was a lot going on in the woods and down by the lake today. Must be getting close to spring!

[Tamia]

Funny..Thanks for the laugh.

Glad I could make you laugh, Patrick!

There was a lot going on in the woods and down by the lake today.

Indeed. I build a house there today!

I always wanted to have a little cabin at a lake.

I've been wondering about what "creative power" means. Is it a brilliant idea?

I don't have much of a creativity from myself, but the creativity in the hands of this lady was very powerful to make some interesting music for the ear.

Power and Creativity. That's this week's theme, but what does it mean? No one in the group seemed to know. I didn't either, so I asked someone who I thought would know. Johnny Socket stared back at me, his mouth hanging open. He didn't have a clue.

Oh no. He-Man could not help. Jonny Socket could not help. We are doomed.

Hmm... this theme is really make all confusing?
Actually this theme is really nothing... The subject is kinda open, but just show your creativity thru the photo u can think of to snap.

It's nothing to do with the power or electricity... Just purely show us your creativity only...

100+ Creative Photography Ideas: Techniques, Compositions and Mixed Media Approaches

[Bill2849]

I'm not sure whether this entry meets the qualifications or not, since it relies upon post processing (although Scomatic's link on 100+ creative photo ideas contains several references to creative processing of digital or film images). I have been experimenting with post-processing that emulates old time photo processes. This example is one such. I am showing it along with the original image so you can see the difference. What I appreciate about the entry is how it looks like an old oriental silk print (as well as a replication of an antique photo).
