Project 52-10-43: Ordinary
Posted By: djb47, 07-01-2022, 05:51 AM

We are familiar with our environment and what’s in it. These things are ordinary to us, and often we don’t think about photographing them.To make the ordinary look extraordinary, you have to think outside the box. Don’t rely on what you normally do. Push beyond the rules and techniques you may typically follow and think about how you can photograph things differently. Can you photograph ordinary things to make them look extraordinary?


Photos for Project 52-10-43 are to be taken and posted between July 1 - Jul 14.

Upcoming Projects:
P52-10-44 A Different Perspective 7/8
P52-10-45 Inspired by a Famous Photographer 7/15
P52-10-46 My Backyard 7/22
P52-10-47 Distortion 7/29




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.

Maybe this will will be the one where I can get back into things time permitting. Might be time to go after a post, a stick, or some sky carp (Canada Goose).

Some plain ordinary plastic forks photographed under polarized light makes for a different image.

Nice. I don't know if I posted a shot I did earlier this year of plastic spoons shot with polarized light or not. I might have to dig out a metal spoon and do some playing with polarized light as well for a different effect.

Unlikely, probably get cleaned/rinsed regularly. Effekto, the name on the one glove is a pesticide.
