Welcome to the 11th Edition of Project 52, which I will be hosting for the year. Thanks to djb47 for hosting Project 52-10.
Let's get some Motivation
I have participated in a few Project 52 kind of thing and there are plenty out there. One of the many aspects that have come to the fore is the value of participating, one of them being how much you learn-about technique, out of the box thinking, getting to know your camera's potential and a host of other values. WHY NOT JOIN THE PROJECT! Besides some discipline, there is not much else required except if you are chosen the winner, in which case you judge the next weeks challenge.

Themes covered will include but not limited to:
Colour
Architecture
DOF
Focus
Exposure
Landscape
Lighting
Perspective
Shutter
Subject- Multi-subject challenge
People
Ideas
Shapes
Home
Animals
Seasonal
Leisure


Rules
1. Anyone and everyone interested in the challenge is eligible. The goal continues to be to 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. The theme/sub-concepts are chosen by the facilitator every week. You are only
required to submit a photo taken during the week of the challenge.
3. Post your single picture in Project 52-11 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. And we will include images taken with phones as well.
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. It is up to the discretion of the current week's
Judge to accept or decline early/late entries i.e. a day earlier or a day late. Usually there is some flexibility here to allow as many entrants as possible. BUT
PLEASE DO NOT POST IMAGES TAKEN DAYS OR WEEKS OUTSIDE THE PERIOD OF THE CHALLENGE. TRY TO KEEP IT AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE
TO THE TIME FRAME. SOME FLEXIBILITY IS ALLOWED (after all life comes before photography) FOR OUT OF DATE/LATE SUBMISSIONS.
8. Additional images are welcome, but please keep them to a minimum. If more than one image is posted, make sure you identify your entry for the challenge.
Additional images should also please comply with rule 1 and rule 7.
9. Any picture taken from thread start date to listed closing date is acceptable.
10. The WINNER of each weekly challenge is the JUDGE of the next weeks Project 52-11 and may not participate in the challenge.
11. The host/facilitator (in this case noelcmn) may participate in the challenge, provided he/she is not the judge.

We move onto the theme of Architecture for the next phase of Project 52-11, exploring the various techniques around this popular subject for photographers. This week it is Architecture in Landscape. THE CHALLENGE WILL CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT (your time) SUNDAY 16 OCTOBER 2022.
A few thoughts: Though Urban Landscape Photography is included in the concept, Architecture in Landscape, this challenge is about looking for an image that retains some degree of detail of your subject, and not merely a conglomorate of buildings. That means as few buildings as possible. There must be an element of the "environment" of the subject.

Some help here: What Are Architectural Landscape Photos?

Good luck!

Did i understood it correctly that architecture in landscape means NOT something in the street, but rather, in some park or anywhere where it's not a lot of buildings around?

[noelcmn]

No, it can be something in the street. Urban landscape is inicluded, but the emphasis is on the detail of the archtiecture, together with the element of environment- ie the surroundings.

This thread is exactly three weeks late
from me shooting Architecure in landscape

[Si1maron]

I just hope pic fits the theme. My brain decided to stop working when I tried to understand what is arch in landscape, and what isn't.
Was making photos of Nekrasov's house on Hlebny Lane for my firend, who studies at state uni of civil engineering architecture, and needed to sketch that building. And BAM, I see this theme pop up.

[noelcmn]

Works for me! Welcome to the challenge.

Outside seating area at Legends Restaurant at the Tryon International Equestrian Center. Well attended last evening.

[noelcmn]

Thanks you all for your submissions, now it is over to djb47 to do the judging exercise.

The New challenge is here: PROJECT 52-11-6-ARCHITECTURE- The details - PentaxForums.com

[djb47]

Si1maron -- Impressive building but I find the crane and lines detract from the composition.
Yaki -- Interesting pavillion. I like that snowflace just under the roof.
Noel -- nice lines leading to the doorway. What does the building house?

I keep looking at Yaki's pavillion. I like the clean, simple composition and the color so Yaki gets the nod this week.


Well done all.

[Yaki]

Thanks Don, it's an honor. The next challenge is very interesting and I hope there will be many pictures to choose from.
