PROJECT 52-2-26 Lighting: Sunrise or Sunset
Posted By: mithrandir, 12-30-2009, 11:09 AM

For Week 26, midway through year 2 of Project 52, we will endeavor to capture a sunrise (or sunset for you late risers). This will be our first project week firmly into 2010. What will this new year bring in terms of talent, ingenuity, and techniques? Will Rense even see the sun for this competition?

(Pictures for the week 26 competition are to be taken and posted between 20100103 and 20100110).

NOTE: We have two Seasonal competitions planned for the last two weeks of year two. You may take pictures for these anytime between 20090705 and the posting dates of 20100704 or 20100711. This way you can include your favorite holiday or season whenever it occurs during the year.

Rules:
1. Anyone and everyone who is interested in 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 52-2 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 nonPentax
cameras are allowed. Cameras can be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot and Medium Format.
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 20090705 to listed closing date is acceptable for the
two “Seasonal” competitions – Projects 52-2-51 & 52.

We haven't seen the sun, morning or evening for nearly a fortnight.Nearly 3" of rain which was very badly needed..
Oh well, keep the fingers crossed the chance of a shot will come.
Oviously, Toowoomba is getting some sun, by Ash's great shot.

A very nice shot too, Rense.
I am still hoping for a little sun by the weekend. It is raining as I speak

Well, I wished Rense sun and he seems to have it (2 weeks in a row). I wish the same for you Bruce. (Let's see if that works for you.) LOL!

Well Dale & Rense, both of yours are captivating.
Love the different emotions they both evoke.
Nice ones.

Thanks Ash. And there was I thinking we would all post classic sunrise/sunset shots. I really like the other two. Three very different approaches.
