Layering objects in your composition allows you to somewhat overcome one of photography’s greatest limitations – its two-dimensional nature. One of the easiest ways we can do that is to use foreground, middle-ground, and background in our images. This is the beginning of the concept of layers. We can then add things like light, depth of field, and shutter speed into the equation for more complex images. If needed, more information is available HERE.


Photos for P52-10-28 are to be taken and posted between Mar 18 and Mar 24.

Rules:
1. Anyone and everyone who is interested 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 52-10 thread for the week. Explain what
motivated you to take the picture or how 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, etc. But no phones, please.
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.

I took this shot yesterday. Fog, horses and stable structure as varying distances help to create layers. There's a black and white version in that forum that I processed for stronger tones but for this forum I stayed with color and minimal pp of a small increase in clarity and light/exposure.

I'll go with the layers created by Johannesburg Botanical Gardens

Those are both some nice shots for the concept of layers. I will have to see what I can come up with. If you want layers I should take a screen shot of one of my astro editing sessions, lots of layers there but not a good picture.

Several layers here, the water with ripples and reflections of the sun in the foreground, then the sandbar with the birds, more water, marsh grass, buildings on the island.

Could not get out and about this week so here is my attempt at layers using things I had at hand. Shooting the teddy through some flowers with Christmas lights in the background. Not the greatest composition but there are layers.

This project is now closed. Thank you to those who participated. Well done all.


Cindy -- nice job with the horses and the barn. Great mood.


Noel -- like the leading lines in the foreground. Good color.

Tom -- interesting sun reflection as a foreground item. I never would have considered something like that.


I'll give the nod to Tom this round. I get a greater feel of depth from his image. Noel's is a close second.

Congrats to Tom! Fabulous image. Noel, congrats for runner-up, wonderful shot as well! Thanks Don for running the show.

[noelcmn]

Quite agree with that choice, congrats Tom, lovely stuff! Thanls Don for the judging exercise.

Thank you all, that was unexpected.
