Project 52-10-45: Inspired by a Photographer
Posted By: djb47, 07-16-2022, 05:25 AM

Whether it's legendary photographers whose work you've come across in a gallery exhibition or cool, modern photos on Instagram, there are so many photographers whose work can inspire us. Sometimes it's just the concept, story and creativity of the composition; at other times, the technical aspects can be just jaw-dropping. Inspiration isn't the same as a 1:1 copy, it's about learning and picking up certain aspects and nuances from a fellow photographer. Who inspires you?


Photos for Project 52-10-45 are to be taken and posted between July 16 - Jul 28.

Upcoming Projects:
P52-10-46 My Backyard 7/22
P52-10-47 Distortion 7/29
P52-10-48 One Light Source 8/5

P52-10-49 Uncommon 8/12




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

Recently watched a tutorial on silhouette photography which mentioned Karl Blossfeldt. Karl Blossfeldt was a German photographer best known for his close-up photographs of plants and living things. He believed that "the plant must be valued as a totally artistic and architectural structure." These are some leaves off our crab apple tree that have been attacked by Japanese beetles photographed ala Blossfelt style.
